'The America Party': Elon Musk warns lawmakers against Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill'; says alternative needed if 'insane spending bill' passes
US President Donald Trump and former DOGE chief Elon Musk seem to have locked horns again over the same topic, "Big Beautiful Bill."
Tesla chief Elon Musk on Monday demanded the establishment of a new political movement and indicated his willingness to support primary opponents against all Republican Congressional members, saying people will have a voice if new party comes.
Musk issued this bold statement, contingent upon Republican lawmakers passing President Trump's comprehensive domestic policy legislation '.
Although Musk's statements often remain mere declarations, his criticism of Republicans has intensified considerably in recent days. On Monday, he indicated his readiness to establish a new "America Party" should the GOP legislation succeed.
"If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day," he posted on X to his 220 million followers. "Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE."
By evening, Musk offered concrete support for Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a notable opponent of Trump's bill. Despite various GOP groups expressing reservations about the legislative package, potentially endangering its passage, nearly every Republican in Congress supports some version.
Later, Musk stated that almost all House and Senate GOP members "will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth" - an ambitious claim even for the world's wealthiest individual, who contributed nearly $300 million to Republican candidates in the 2024 election.
Musk specifically criticised two House Republicans known as fiscal conservatives within the House Freedom Caucus: Representatives Andy Harris of Maryland and Chip Roy of Texas. He also engaged in disagreement with Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma.
He expressed renewed interest in establishing a new political party whilst criticising legislators from both parties, labelling them as members of the "porky pig party" due to government expenditure levels.
Musk's association with the Republican Party has been brief and uncertain. A former Democrat, he began identifying as Republican only in 2022, initiating substantial public contributions to the party before last November's election. His notable dispute with Trump in early June accelerated his expressed interest in forming a new party. During this disagreement, he conducted an X poll asking: "Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?"
Establishing a viable third party would require enormous effort, and on Monday, there was no evident indication that Mr. Musk or his advisers were taking concrete steps.
Just five weeks previously, the technology billionaire had expressed different intentions, stating he would reduce his election spending in the 2026 cycle.

Dolund Bhai and Musk Bhai should learn from Modi and me and how we have been able to successfully run the the biggest scam govt and drive India to the ground together, fooling bhakts (no big deal here as they are almost brain dead) without any.. eh.. almost any fallout except for one where Modi had to make that comment about me, his employer, sending tempo filled with black money to Congress HQ, which by the way is totally wrong and Modi knows it as I always let Amit and Jai handle those transactions and they are no fool to send those to Pappu and Italian mata. Hope sense prevails. Drop my case and maybe I can give them some tips.Read allPost comment
