Elon Musk vs Donald Trump: New political party ‘The America Party’ gains momentum after 80% of X users say yes

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s once-close alliance has broken down in full public view. The Tesla CEO has proposed creating a new political party—“The America Party”—to represent what he calls the “80% in the middle.” This comes after Musk sharply criticised Trump’s legislative agenda, leading to threats from Trump to cut off government contracts. Their falling-out marks a dramatic turn in U.S. politics, with potential implications for both the tech industry and the Republican Party.
