❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald Trump criticized Elon Musk’s recent actions and his idea of starting a Third Political Party.
👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The statement was made on TruthSocial, recently.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: The statement highlights Trump’s opposition to the Electric Vehicle Mandate and his views on political party dynamics.
President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval of Elon Musk’s recent conduct and his proposal to establish a Third Political Party. Trump described Musk’s actions as going “off the rails” and becoming a “TRAIN WRECK” over the past five weeks.
Trump emphasized that Third Parties have historically been unsuccessful in the United States and are mainly known for causing “Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS.” He contrasted this with the Republican Party, which he described as a “smooth running ‘machine.'”
A significant point in Trump’s statement was the Republican Party’s recent passage of a major bill that eliminates the Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate. Trump has been a vocal opponent of the mandate, advocating for consumer choice in vehicle purchases.
Trump recounted a conversation with Musk, where he questioned Musk’s support given his stance against the EV Mandate. Musk reportedly had “no problems” with Trump’s position, which Trump found surprising.
Additionally, Trump mentioned Musk’s request for a close friend to run NASA, a suggestion Trump found inappropriate due to the individual’s political background and connections to Musk’s business interests.
“I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely “off the rails,” essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States – The System seems not designed for them. The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds! Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running “machine,” that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country. It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning. People are now allowed to buy whatever they want – Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (which are doing very well), or New Technologies as they come about – No more EV Mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate – It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problems with that – I was very surprised! Additionally, Elon asked that one of his close friends run NASA and, while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that he was a blue blooded Democrat, who had never contributed to a Republican before. Elon probably was, also. I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon’s corporate life. My Number One charge is to protect the American Public!”
