U.S. President Donald Trump made statements regarding his recent disagreements with billionaire businessman Elon Musk in a post on his Truth Social account.
Pointing out that Musk has never been successful in the U.S. but wants to establish a third political party, Trump argued that the system "doesn't seem designed for them." He suggested that third parties are "good at creating total destruction and chaos," stating, "We have enough of that with radical left Democrats who have lost their confidence and minds."
THE "EV MANDATE" IS "NO LONGER"
Trump reported that Republicans have just passed "the largest bill of its kind in the history of the country" and in this sense, they are "a smoothly operating machine," noting that the bill "eliminates the ridiculous electric vehicle (EV) mandate that would force everyone to buy electric vehicles in a short time." Trump also stated that the bill is "an unfortunate situation" for Musk.
Stating that he opposed this situation from the very beginning, Trump reiterated that there is no longer an electric vehicle mandate and commented, "People can now buy what they want. Gasoline-powered, hybrids (which are doing very well), or new technologies as they emerge."
"MUSK WANTED HIS FRIEND TO RUN NASA"
Trump noted:
"I have been campaigning for this for two years, and to be honest, when Elon gave me his full and unquestioning support, I asked him if he knew I would end the electric vehicle mandate. He knew this in every speech I made and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problem with it. I was very surprised. I learned that one of his close friends is a blue-blooded Democrat who has never contributed to any Republican. I thought his friend was very good, but I was surprised. I found it inappropriate for a very close friend of Elon, who is in the space business, to run NASA at a time when NASA was a huge part of Elon’s corporate life."
"OFF THE RAILS"
Trump said, "Watching Elon Musk completely 'go off the rails' and essentially be a 'train wreck' for the last five weeks saddens me," adding that his number one duty is "to protect the American people."
HE HAD CRITICIZED MUSK
In a statement to reporters over the weekend, Trump said he found Musk's idea of forming a third party "ridiculous" and criticized the businessman for his efforts in this direction.
MUSK'S NEW PARTY POLL
Musk referred to the celebration of Independence Day in the U.S. on Friday in a post on his account on the X social media platform, stating, "Independence Day is a perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some say one-party) system."
Musk shared the results of a poll he started with the question, "Should we form the America Party?" on X, noting that two out of three Americans answered "yes" to this question.
