President Donald Trump took aim at Elon Musk after his former adviser announced the creation of a new political party following staunch opposition to the president's signature legislation.
"I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely “off the rails,” essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks," Trump wrote on social media July 6. "He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States."
Musk announced the formation of the "America Party" on July 5, the day after Trump signed his megabill. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects the legislation will increase the national debt by $3.4 trillion, which Musk has lambasted.
"When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," Musk wrote on his social media platform X on July 5. "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom."
Trump criticized third parties in his July 6 post.
