Washington: Elon Musk’s launching of a new political party as ridiculous, said US President Donald Trump on Sunday. He slammed former ally deepening the Republican’s feud with the man who was once his biggest backer.

Trump speaking to the reporters, I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party, before he boarded Air Force One on his way back to Washington from his New Jersey golf club.

He also branded the SpaceX and Tesla tycoon a TRAIN WRECK who had gone off the rails after Musk said he wanted to challenge the current US political system.

Elon Musk was almost inseparable from Trump as he headed the cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency, but they fell out hard over the president’s big beautiful tax and spending mega-bill.

It’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. Third parties have never worked. So he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous, he said.

Musk announced on Saturday that he would create the so-called America Party to challenge what he called the United States’ one-party system. The President’s massive domestic spending plan would explode the US debt, and has vowed to do everything in his power to defeat lawmakers who voted for it, he added.
