Musk's Political Bomb: "America Party" Threatens Trump Over Spending Bill โก๏ธ๐บ๐ธ
Washington D.C. โ Elon Musk, once a key ally of President Donald Trump, is now publicly challenging him, threatening to form a new "America Party" if Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill" passes the Senate. This marks a significant rift between the two influential figures. ๐ฅ
Why the Outrage? ๐
* "Debt Slavery Bill": Musk calls the proposed tax and spending legislation a "debt slavery bill," claiming it will add a record $5 trillion to the national debt.
* "Porky Pig Party": He argues that both major parties are engaged in "insane spending," calling them the "PORKY PIG PARTY!!"
* Senate Debate: The Senate is currently debating the bill, which narrowly passed the House, aiming for a July 4 deadline. The CBO estimates it will increase the deficit by nearly $3.3 trillion.
From Ally to Rival? ๐
* Past Support: Musk previously supported Trump, reportedly donating over $250 million to his 2024 campaign and serving in his administration.
* New Party Vow: Musk declared on X: "If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day."
* Funding Challengers: He also vowed to fund primary challengers against any Republican lawmakers who vote for the bill.
Political Impact ๐ค
* Fiscal Policy Clash: The feud highlights growing tensions over spending within the Republican Party.
* New Dynamic: While a new party faces hurdles, Musk's influence and wealth make his threat a notable disruption to the U.S. political landscape.
