Donald Trump vs. Elon Musk Feud Escalates with Announcement of "America Party"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The public feud between President Trump and Elon Musk continues to
deepen, after Musk announced he's forming a new political party, the
America Party, following the passage of Trump's tax cut and spending
bill. Musk objects to the bill's projected increase of the U.S. debt by
$3.3 trillion over the next decade. Tesla shares took a nosedive
following the news of Musk's new political venture. On Friday, Trump was
asked by a reporter if he'd try to deport Musk, to which Trump replied,
"We'll have to take a look," adding, "DOGE is the monster that might
have to go back and eat Elon!"
