Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk is hinting at the creation of a new political party, escalating his increasingly bitter public feud with President Donald Trump, after the two former allies traded barbs on Thursday night.
In a poll posted on X, Musk asked his more than 180 million followers whether it was “time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle.” As of early Friday morning, the poll had garnered over 4.7 million responses — with more than 80% voting in favor of the idea.
The poll came just hours after Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, criticized Musk for opposing his administration’s latest tax and spending bill. “I’m very disappointed in him,” Trump told reporters. Shortly after, Trump took to Truth Social, claiming Musk had “gone CRAZY” and that he had previously “asked him to leave” his administration.
Trump also threatened to cancel federal contracts and subsidies tied to Musk’s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, a move that could significantly impact Musk’s business empire.
Musk quickly retaliated on X, not only endorsing calls for Trump’s impeachment but also lobbing a serious accusation: that the Trump administration is suppressing documents related to Jeffrey Epstein to protect the former president.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files,” Musk wrote. “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
Musk further taunted the former president with a parting shot: “Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years.”

A coalition of non-WOKE Democrats (DINOs) and non-MAGA Republicans (RINOs) might be viable. It is possible that Libertarians might go along with the idea. Musk can’t lead it since he is an immigrant, with no real geographic base, which precludes him from running for office – which is a feature. He does have a problem since he controls Tesla, which is dependent on government subsidies, and more importantly, on the “green” ideology that justifies those subsidies which probably prevents him from creating a DINO/RINO coalition that could actually win elections.

What’s funny is that an uber billionaire posed this question because for one reason he didn’t like that his electric vehicles which are bought by millionaires and is saying he’s for “the middle class”
Can anyone seriously in their lifetime recall such extreme ineptitude, unfitness, and chaos from any president of the U.S.? A president spending time fighting on social media with a former ally like some freshman high school kid, unreal!
Time to dump Tesla and go with BYD, Build Your Dream – a Chinese company – cuz that’s all that’s happening! It’s one stupid silly dream. Take on Barr and Pence and all the others that Trump dumped for daring to ask questions! Notice how absolutely silent and absent Jared and Ivanka are. They get it! Working with this narcissist isn’t very good. Hold on though, he’s in office till January 20, 2028.
Yes rt,
The previous president, when the auto pen reigned supreme
