"If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day," Musk [tweeted]() on Monday. "Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE." Musk has repeatedly lashed out at Trump's calling it "[utterly insane]()" and a "[disgusting abomination]()." The richest man in the world vowed to make the demolition of the Republican party his number one priority. "Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!" he [tweeted]() on Monday. "And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth," he added. What exactly a so-called "America Party" would look like, if it were to ever materialize, remains unclear at best. Musk's political stance has veered to the extreme right over the years, hinting that his alternative may be ugly. But as the [*New York Times* points out](), we have yet to hear of any concrete plans to create a third political party in the US, suggesting Musk is merely venting his frustrations. It's also an enormous reversal for Musk, who [vowed in May]() that he would do "a lot less" political spending from now on. "I think I've done enough," Musk [said]() at the time. The topic of Trump's enormous spending bill — which is set to [add $3.3 trillion]() to the country's already enormous mountain of debt — has been at the center of an [escalating feud]() between the two. And the president isn't sitting idly by. Tuesday morning, Trump told reporters at the White House that "we'll have to take a look" into deporting the South African-born entrepreneur, as [*Bloomberg* reports](). In an excorciating [Truth Social post]() published just after midnight on Tuesday, he also warned that he may completely cut off Musk's subsidies. "Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa," he wrote. "No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE." While speaking to reporters today, Trump also took aim at Musk's [embattled]() EV maker Tesla, warning that "losing his EV mandate" could mean that he loses a "lot more than that." However, Musk has reiterated that he supports eliminating EV subsidies himself. After Musk spent months [plundering the government]() and wreaking chaos with the help of his so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Trump is now warning he could turn the destructive gang of [underqualified DOGE operatives]() against him. "We might have to put DOGE on Elon," Trump told reporters today. "DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible?" **More on the two:** *[Tesla's Robotaxi Program Is Failing Because Elon Musk Made a Foolish Decision Years Ago]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
