Elon Musk declared on X the formation of a new political party amid his ongoing feud with President Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom,” Musk wrote in an X post on Saturday.
The Tesla CEO had said Friday on his social media platform that one way the new party could work is to focus on winning just a handful of Senate seats and House districts that could serve as the “deciding vote” on “contentious laws,” given the “razor-thin legislative margins” in Congress.
In response, Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Sunday that Musk had gone “completely off the rails.”
I really hate the term ‘freedom’ now. It’s thrown around so much and it means basically nothing anymore. “Join this! Now with 20% more freedom!”. Freedom to/from what? It’s never stated, it’s just a vibe.
It’s been like that for decades now, going back at least to George W. Bush saying that Al Qaeda “hates us for our freedoms”.
Just make some fucking basic ass product, call it freedom or patriot and overcharge for it. Boom profit.
Like this dipshit.
