Trump-Musk feud reignites after Tesla CEO calls for new political party

Elon Musk has criticized President Trump's spending bill, calling it the "big, beautiful bill" and stating that it will increase the national debt by a record five trillion dollars. Musk threatened to form a new political party if the bill passes, saying that the country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty. Trump responded to Musk's comments, claiming that the Tesla CEO may get more subsidy than any human being in history and suggesting that he take a hard look at the businesses he has government contracts with. Musk has repeatedly spoken out against the size of Trump's spending package, which is estimated to add over three trillion dollars to the national debt. The feud between the two has been ongoing, with Musk lashing out at Trump in a series of posts on his social media site X. Musk has also floated the idea of founding a new political party, which he claims would actually care about the people. Trump has responded to Musk's comments, saying that he thinks Musk is a wonderful guy and will do well. The White House has pointed to Trump's remarks to Fox News, where he stated that Musk is upset about the bill ending subsidies for electric vehicles. The feud has spilled over into an open fight, with Musk threatening to form a new party and Trump threatening to cancel Musk's government contracts.
