President Donald Trump released a blistering statement against his former adviser and former DOGE leader Elon Musk Sunday evening.
This comes as Musk plows forward with his plan to launch a new political party, called The America Party.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely “off the rails,” essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks.
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. 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!
Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running “machine,” that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country. It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning.
People are now allowed to buy whatever they want – Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (which are doing very well), or New Technologies as they come about – No more EV Mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate – It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problems with that – I was very surprised!
Additionally, Elon asked that one of his close friends run NASA and, while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that he was a blue blooded Democrat, who had never contributed to a Republican before. Elon probably was, also.
I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon’s corporate life. My Number One charge is to protect the American Public!
MUSK RESPONDS
In response to Trump’s lengthy post Sunday evening, Musk agreed “100%” with a statement that says he isn’t mad about Trump’s EV mandate position, but “He’s upset about $5 trillion being added to the federal debt in next 2 years.”

Musk then added, “What the heck was the point of @DOGE if he’s just going to increase the debt by $5 trillion??”

In another slam, Musk asked, “What’s Truth Social? Never heard of it.”
