US President Donald Trump has called Tesla and social media platform X owner Elon Musk’s announcement of a third political party “ridiculous and unnecessary.”
Yesterday, Elon Musk announced on his X account that he was forming a new political party called the “America Party,” which aims to liberate the people and challenge the current political system.
Speaking to reporters in New Jersey, Trump said: “I think creating a third party is a ridiculous idea. It will only add to political confusion.”
President Trump added that if Elon Musk feels like doing all this, he can do it, but this step is “futile” and “totally unnecessary.”
Trump also said in a conversation with reporters that a deal with Hamas is likely this week, and he may also visit flood-hit Texas on Friday.
It should be remembered that Elon Musk has been a close ally of Trump in the past and after becoming president, Trump also made him the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, relations between the two leaders later became strained and Elon resigned from his position.
