Musk suggests creating a new political party as feud with Trump continues to rage

Elon Musk floated the idea of a new political party as his rapidly escalating feud with President Trump reached a tipping point — with more than 80% of the millions who voted wanting change.The world’s richest man posted a poll on X asking followers whether they supported the idea of a party to take on the Republicans and Democrats.“Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” the poll asked.Well over 4.7 million votes had been cast as of early Friday — with more than 80% agreeing a new party was needed.The poll was posted soon after Musk and Trump’s once-close relationship imploded late Thursday when the men started hurling blistering attacks at each other.Musk also encouraged Republicans torn over who to back to side with him.“Oh and some food for thought as they ponder this question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years,” he wrote in one tweet.The verbal punches erupted after Trump criticized Musk in the Oval Office on Thursday, telling reporters he was “very disappointed” in the Tesla founder for denouncing his sweeping tax-cut and spending bill.Trump quickly posted on Truth Social that Musk had been “wearing thin,” that he had “asked him to leave” his administration and that the tech titan had “gone CRAZY.”Trump then threatened that he could save taxpayer money by canceling government contracts and subsidies for Musk’s companies.Musk, for his part, fired back by expressing support for impeaching Trump and even accused the administration of withholding documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein because the president would be mentioned.“Time to drop the really big bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files.That is the real reason they have not been made public.

Have a nice day, DJT!” Musk post on X....
