After a major showdown between Elon Musk and Donald Trump that involved direct attacks, Elon Musk floated a poll on creating a new political party — leaving Republicans at a loss to grasp the situation and how quickly it spiralled. “It is time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle,” Elon Musk asked as he scorched Donald Trump over the Big, Beautiful Bill — Donald Trump’s flagship project.

Elon Musk calls Trump liar, says Trump won the election because of him

To the delight of the Democrats, the Elon Musk vs Donald Trump saw a sudden escalation Thursday, though Elon Musk has been criticizing the spending bill. But before Thursday, the attacks were not directly aimed at Trump but at the Congressmen who passed the bill. On Thursday, Donald Trump said he was disappointed with Elon Musk’s outburst and claimed that he was consulted about the bill. This started Thursday’s dramatic developments with Elon Musk calling Trump ungrateful and then claiming that it was because of him that Trump won the election.

Trump says he asked him to leave

Trumo counterattacked and divulged that he asked Elon Musk to leave his Whie Hous role as Elon was “wearing thin”. “I took away his EV mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY,” Trump posted. Elon Musk called this an “obvious” lie. “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” Trump wrote on his social media network. “I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!” “This just gets better and better,” Musk quickly replied on X. “Go ahead, make my day.”
