Elon Musk posed a provocative question to users on X, the platform he owns, suggesting the possibility of starting a fresh political movement as tensions with President Donald Trump grow and disagreements over the House GOP’s budget package continue to mount.
“Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” Musk posted, attaching a poll for users to weigh in. By 4:20 p.m. EDT on Thursday, more than 1.4 million people had voted, with 82.3% responding “yes” and only 17.7% choosing “no.” Musk currently has 220.3 million followers on the platform.
This message was shared not long after Trump voiced dissatisfaction with Musk due to his outspoken opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—a key piece of legislation the president is working to advance in Congress. Musk has argued the bill is excessive in scope and lacks meaningful fiscal restraint.
Musk’s critiques became more public and pointed toward the end of his time serving in a special government role overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency. That marked the beginning of a clear rift between him and Trump. Musk, who holds the title of world’s wealthiest individual, had previously been a major supporter of Trump, contributing large sums to the 2024 campaign, amplifying Trump’s platform on X, and even joining him on stage at political events nationwide.

The essence of the duel is who is the greatest narcissist on the planet!
COLO WAR BREAKOUT!
Musk is a nothing, a nobody. He was not elected by the voters of this country to anything. He’s no different than Mike Bl$$mberg or Mark Cuban. Talk a lot. Full of worthless hot air. They may have billions of dollars in assets but they were not elected by the American people for any political position. Even AOC and Jasmine Crockett have more political power than Musk.
While you’re accurate that Musk wasn’t elected, he did better work with DOGE then all of DC has done, wil do or cares to do. Even Trump, who claimed he wanted to DOGE everything, has done a complete 180 with his terrible big bill.
What is so “terrible” about the bill, that you allege?
BYD is a car manufacturer company that is growing in popularity! BYD stands for Build Your Dream: just curious if this is also Musk’s company! He certainly is dreaming! Oh, and it’s a Chinese company! Not really made to last! That sounds like much like Musk.
This Elon Musk “fight” is actually brilliant!
