Trump Shuts Down Musk’s Attempt at Reconciliation

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has bluntly rejected
Elon Musk’s subtle peace overtures, signaling no interest in mending their fractured relationship.

When asked by reporters about the possibility of speaking with Musk,
Trump replied:

"I have no plans. I hope he does well with Tesla, but I'm not thinking about him."

He also hinted at reviewing government contracts and subsidies
granted to Musk’s companies, such as SpaceX and Tesla,
noting that “there are too many subsidies.”

Musk Responds with Calls for a New Political Party

In response, Musk suggested that America needs
a new political party to represent the moderate 80% of voters.

On his platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk posted a poll asking if
it was time to form a party for the true center of American voters —
over 80% of respondents agreed.

He later proposed the name "America Party", fueling speculation
about his political ambitions beyond business.

A Relationship in Freefall

Once considered close allies — with Musk reportedly donating
$270 million to Trump’s 2020 campaign —
the relationship has drastically deteriorated.

• Musk publicly criticized Trump’s tax policies,
  calling them “disgusting and abhorrent.”
• Trump responded by suggesting terminating
  government contracts with Musk-owned companies.
• Recent media appearances saw Trump mock Musk,
  referring to him as “that crazy guy.”

The falling out has stirred tensions within the Republican Party,
with some leaders urging both sides to de-escalate.

Public Opinion Divided

According to a YouGov poll:

• 71% of Republican voters side with Trump
• 52% of the general public say they support neither

Meanwhile, figures like J.D. Vance,
Trump’s Vice President, defended Trump’s remarks
while carefully avoiding direct criticism of Musk.

What’s Next?

As Musk continues to hint at forming a new centrist party,
the American political landscape could witness a significant shake-up,
challenging the two-party system entrenched for centuries.

Observers are watching closely to see if Musk will
translate his social media influence into real political capital.
