Elon Musk calls for a new US political party, The America Party, amid ongoing feud with Donald Trump, who may sell his Tesla.

In Short:
Elon Musk believes the US needs a new political party and claims 80% of Americans agree. Tensions between Musk and Trump are rising, with Trump considering selling his Tesla from Musk amid their public fallout.

Elon Musk has publicly stated that the US requires a new political party, responding to his fallout with Donald Trump. On social media platform X, he claimed that 80% of Americans support the idea.

Musk has recently expressed strong opposition to Trump’s proposed tax legislation. The White House has dismissed the possibility of reconciling as Trump has no intention of discussing matters with Musk.

Trump is prioritising the passage of his spending bill but faces backlash from Musk, resulting in their public split. Tensions may have significant implications, as Trump could sustain political damage while Musk risks losing critical government contracts.

Selling his Tesla

Amidst these disputes, reports indicate that Trump is contemplating selling his Tesla vehicle, a gift from Musk, as part of distancing himself from the tech billionaire. The White House noted the vehicle remains on-site but an official confirmed Trump’s thoughts on potentially selling or giving it away.

Musk attempted to mitigate tensions by retracting a previous threat to discontinue his Dragon spacecraft, vital for NASA missions. However, the path to reconciliation remains uncertain given their deteriorating relationship.

In the aftermath of Musk’s criticisms, both he and Trump have engaged in a back-and-forth on social media, with Musk suggesting drastic changes in party representation and proposing impeachment for Trump.
