President Donald Trump delivered a brutal takedown of Elon Musk’s plans to launch a third party Sunday evening - calling his former ally a ‘train wreck.’
In a lengthy Truth Social tirade, Trump said Musk has gone ‘off the rails’ in recent weeks, and repeated his theory that the tech mogul’s problem with the sweeping tax bill signed into law on Friday was its elimination of incentives for electric vehicles.
“I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks,” Trump wrote.
“He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States – The System seems not designed for them,” he added. “The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds!”
Trump first addressed Musk’s plans for the new-found “America Party” during a press gaggle Sunday afternoon before he boarded Air Force One.
“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” Trump said, adding later: “So he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous.”
