"Derails" or "falls off the tracks" – this is how you can translate the words of Donald Trump, who responded to Elon Musk's latest idea. Billionaire announced on the weekend that he was setting up a political organization with a arrogant name – the organization of America. Here are 5 facts and questions that will show what the fresh U.S. President's ally is all about.
1. The end of relationship is...
Trump and Musk are completely out of the way – there is no request to explain it. Although after the owner Tesla flew out of the White House, the gentlemen had already had a public argument, apologize... and dig up the hatchet again. Yet it was for Musk that the fresh president of the United States created a peculiar (and strange) function to fit him into his administration.
– In Washington, D.C., there are bets on how long this male relationship can last due to the fact that both have powerful personalities. You don't become president of the United States if you don't have a personality, or the richest genius or inventor. Muska can be liked or not, but he is simply a genius – he spoke late in an interview with Marcin Wrona, a correspondent of TVN's "Facts" in Washington.
Trump was long looking at that genius Muska as a picture. Meanwhile, the businessman felt assured adequate that his next decisions caused a shock in Washington. This was the case, among others, with occupation cuts in public administration.
Until Musk yet got kicked out of the White House. He later posted offensive tweets at Trump, and yet removed them. It seemed that after this storm they would even be able to sit at the table someday. Musk yet went the another way.
2. Musk made a probe and announced he was starting a party
"Independence Day is the perfect minute to ask yourself if you want independency from the two-party strategy (some would say one-party)!
Should we form an American Party?" wrote Musk on July 4.
He created a probe in which more than 1.2 million users of his service voted. And it turns out that more than 65 percent of people are in favour of Musk's idea. little than 35 percent were opposed. People followed the voice of a billionaire who announced a fresh organization the day later.
"When it comes to bringing our country into bankruptcy through waste and corruption, we live in a monoparty system, not in democracy. present the organization of America is formed to return your freedom" - he explained and referred to the results of the probe. It all sounded as colorful as Trump's run rallies.
3. The dispute over the key bill is ongoing
Musk came out with a fresh initiative at no random time. On independency Day Trump signed a fresh budget bill – "One large Beautiful Bill Act". It includes taxation cuts, cuts in social spending and more money for migrant deportations. And it was this paper that the billionaire didn't like so much.
Musk thinks it's financial irresponsible. And Trump was affected adequate to leave his words unanswered. No wonder, due to the fact that this budget bill calls it its top success. On fact Social, he stated that Tesla's owner is furious, due to a task that hits electrical vehicle sales in the US. "Elon would gotta close his business and return to South Africa," wrote the president of the United States.
When asked later by journalists whether he truly threatened to deport Musk, he will briefly say, "We'll gotta look into it." Trump's fresh advisor made it clear: any associate of legislature who votes for the budget bill should be ashamed.
– I have never seen people so happy in our country for this reason, due to the fact that so many different groups of people were cared for: the military, civilians of all kinds, competitions of all kinds – he praised Trump erstwhile he signed the bill on 4 July.
This is simply a large triumph by the president of the United States and his Republican allies, who convince that the bill will stimulate economical growth. However, they do not mention the calculations of experts, which show that the consequence will be to increase the country's public debt by over $3 trillion.
Let us remind you that the American legislature dealt with this task on 1 July. He passed by 51:50. The home of Representatives was 218:214. Not only representatives of the Democratic organization had reservations to the bill, but besides Republicans.
Although any Trump organization legislators expressed concerns about the cost of the bill and its impact on wellness care programmes, yet only 2 of the 220 Republicans in the home of Representatives voted against it, joining 212 opposition Democrats.
4. What do we know about the America Party?
I'm certain it's just that Trump already made a mockery of the idea. – Establishing a 3rd organization is funny," said Trump, talking to reporters on July 6 before boarding Air Force One. “It has always been a two-party strategy and I believe that starting a 3rd organization only increases confusion,” he argued.
Little more, Trump admitted that he was saddened by Musk's actions and estimated that a billionaire had become "in fact a wreck" in the last 5 weeks.
But now a short answer to the question. The America organization is known as Elon Musk himself announced on X. I think he wrote his prophecy with a past book in his hand. "The way we break up the monoparty strategy is to usage the variant of how Epaminondas under the Leuktras overturned the story of Spartans' invincibility," he announced.
He later added that he meant to apply "an highly concentrated force in a precise place on the battlefield".
5. Musk wants to spin... 160 years of history.
In fact, Trump hit the nail erstwhile he was asked about Musk's fresh organization due to the fact that he referred to the foundation of the system. The Reuter Agency points out that, despite the large financial capital of Musk, breaking up the Republican and politician duo will be a hard task.
"It has dominated American political life for more than 160 years, and Trump's polling rate in his second word has remained above 40%, despite frequently controversial politics," points out Reuters.
Musk talked about his strategy without details. This is the battlefield he wrote about on X, the alleged midterms – an election planned in the US for 2026. The home of Representatives and 1 3rd of the legislature will then be elected. And for next year, the businessman has a plan. About how he wanted to mess up, he wrote rather specifically.
"One way to accomplish this goal would be to focus solely on 2 or 3 seats in the legislature and 8-10 in the home of Representatives election. Given the minimal advantage of the votes, it would be adequate for this vote to be decisive in the case of controversial laws, guaranteeing that they will be in accordance with the actual will of the people," he explained.
What's next for the organization of America? As noted by "The Guardian", fresh political parties in the US are not initially required to registry with the national Election Commission (FEC), but the reporting rules enter into force erstwhile spending exceeds what the FEC calls "defined thresholds".
And if Musk gets in on it, the amounts can be impressive. It is estimated that the entrepreneur spent more than $275 million of his individual assets helping Trump in the election run before the presidential election in 2024.
