President Donald Trump has responded to Elon Musk creating a new political party, saying, “I think it’s ridiculous.”Trump was asked about Musk’s effort on Sunday, just hours after the X owner formally filed a statement of organization with the Federal Election Commission to launch his “America Party,” as The Gateway Pundit reported earlier in the day.“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” Trump said. “We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds confusion.”Trump noted that third parties have “never worked.”“So, he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous,” Trump concluded.WATCH:Trump calls Elon’s third party “ridiculous.” Adding that it will create “confusion.” pic.twitter.com/Me6pVttAg2— Disclose.tv Clips (@disclosetvclips) July 6, 2025Musk’s party has already received fierce mockery online as the treasurer and custodian of records for the “America Party” was revealed to be Vaibhav Taneja, an Indian man who has served as Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer since August 2023.
