'Big, Beautiful Bill' Widens Trump-Musk Schism: Dawn of the America Party

The implications of the upcoming approval of Trump’s trademark “big, beautiful bill” have prompted Musk to oppose it, warning senators about its potential dangers. Musk stated that if the bill is approved, the America Party would be formed to oppose both sides of the aisle.

Elon Musk has taken his criticism of President Trump’s and the Republican Party’s “big, beautiful bill” to another level, pushing against senators supporting this initiative and proposing the creation of a new political party catering to centrist individuals.

Musk blasted the changes that the bill would bring, including the increase of the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, hinting at a public debt growth under Trump’s current administration.

On X, Musk objected to the upcoming approval of this bill, stressing that “every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!”

Furthermore, Musk vowed to attack these senators and make them lose their primary elections next year.

In a subsequent post, Musk proposed the creation of a new political party that would group citizens not in line with the policies promoted by Republicans and Democrats. He stated:

If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.

In a poll where over 5 million voted, 80% supported Musk’s America Party proposal.

President Donald Trump quickly reacted to Musk’s remarks, calling him out for receiving subsidies from the Federal government to keep his companies operating. On Truth Social, Trump highlighted that Musk may get more subsidies “than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.”

This exchange widens the already large gap between the former collaborators, as Musk believes that the big, beautiful bill is contrary to what he sought to achieve with the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE) initiative.
