Reference News Network July 7 report - According to the U.S. "Newsweek" website on July 6, President Trump posted on the "Truth Social" platform on June 6, publicly criticizing Musk's move to establish a new political party and called the tech billionaire "terrible."
The report stated that before Trump made the above comments, Musk announced the establishment of the "America Party" on May 5. Previously, a poll on the social platform showed that 65.4% of the 1.25 million respondents supported the formation of a third party as an alternative option.
This conflict between Trump and Musk means a major adjustment in the political landscape, which may reshape the Republican Party and even the broader American politics.
Musk leaving Trump's inner circle and deciding to launch a third party could split conservative voters and affect future elections.
On June 6, Trump posted a long message on the "Truth Social" platform, sharply criticizing Musk's political moves over the past five weeks, calling them "completely off track," and accusing him of ambitions to establish a third party. The U.S. president emphasized that third parties have "never been successful in the United States" and said they only create "complete chaos and upheaval." (Translated by Wu Mei)
