President Donald Trump or vice president JD Vance did not officially comment on Elon Musk launching his new party the 'America Party'. But the administration's first reaction is here as treasury secretary Scott Bessent commented on Musk's new political ambition. Speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Bessent said Elon Musk was not actually popular, the principles of DOGE were popular.
“I believe that the boards of directors at his various companies wanted him to come back and run those companies,” Bessent said Sunday. “So, I imagine that those board of directors did not like this announcement yesterday and will be encouraging him to focus on his business activities, not his political activities.”
Former DOGE adviser James Fishback wrote to Tesla Board and announced that his investment firm decided to postpone public listing of Azoria Tesla Convexity EFT after Elon Musk announced launching a new political party.
"In May, when Elon stepped back from his work at DOGE and returned his attention to Tesla, we were encouraged. With Elon fully engaged, he gave shareholders renewed confidence in Tesla’s future. Elon's announcement today undermines that confidence," Fishback wrote.
Major MAGA meltdown as Musk proceeds with America Party paperwork
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” Musk added in a Saturday post on X, referring to an X poll he conducted asking his followers if they would support a third party. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
The paperwork was filed Sunday morning with Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja listed as the treasurer of the party.
MAGA influencers concluded that like Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk too turned out to be a traitor who does not have America's interest as priority. “Elon launching the ‘America Party; Will make it easier for Dems to win in the future!” wrote conservative Dear America founder Graham Allen. “@elonmusk this is a mistake……please listen to reason!”
"Elon has decided to destroy America because he doesn’t understand how our political system works. I agree with Elon that the BBB spends too much. But we need 60 votes in the Senate and more than a 7 seat margin in the House to do what he wants to do," commentator Ben Hart said.
Speculations were rife that Elon Musk may rope in Mike Pence to lead the party as social media was abuzz with the names of probably candidates who would like to join the party.
But some unusual allies showed interest including former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci and billionaire Mark Cuban. Both of them endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and a former Republican representative from Michigan Justin Amash also showed interest.
