US President Donald Trump called entrepreneur Elon Musk's plans to create a political party "ridiculous" to reporters
„I think it's ridiculous to create a third party. We've had tremendous success with the Republican Party. "It would only add to the confusion," the American leader noted, adding that Musk "can have fun," but any party other than the Republican and Democratic, he said, "has never worked."
Trump added on Truth Social that he was sad to see Musk "go off the rails."
“I'm sad to see Elon Musk completely lose his mind, becoming a walking disaster over the last five weeks. He even wants to create a third political party, despite the fact that it has never worked in the United States - it seems the system is not designed for that,“ said Trump, adding that such political forces “create discord and chaos“.
For his part, the American entrepreneur said that the political party he created “America“ will support one of the candidates in the US presidential elections in the future, but next year the main efforts will be directed at winning seats in the US Congress.
“Support for one of the presidential candidates is not excluded, but the focus in the next 12 months will be on the House of Representatives and the Senate“, he wrote on X.
Musk earlier announced the creation of a political party called “America“, after voting on his page on X. He outlined his assessment that the country is heading towards bankruptcy and has formed a “one-party system, not democracy“.
