Elon Musk floated creating a new political party, possibly dubbed the "America Party," this week, potentially escalating his feud with President Trump.

Elon Musk publicly mused about creating a new political party this week, an idea that could escalate the billionaire’s feud with his onetime ally President Trump.

Musk first floated the idea on Thursday. In between jabs at Mr. Trump, the billionaire posted a poll to X asking his 220 million followers if they think it’s “time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle.”

A day later, Musk noted that 80% of respondents to the poll backed the idea.

      I love how this was the thrust of the Russian meddling campaign, using #bothsides to build voter apathy.

      I’m not saying you’re a Russian meddler, but I know the source of that duck quacking noise I was hearing.
