Elon Musk posted a poll on X on Thursday asking followers whether they support the idea of a new political party to take on the Republicans and Democrats.
Why it matters: The richest man in the world is publicly feuding with the most powerful man in America, whom he spent record-setting sums to elect. We're about to find out what Musk is prepared to do about it.
Driving the news: Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday that he was "disappointed in Elon" for coming out against his "Big Beautiful Bill." Trump speculated it was because the bill slashes electric vehicle credits and because Musk already misses access to the Oval Office.
Trump said he'd had a good relationship with Elon but made clear he didn't feel like he needed him, either during the election or now.
It appears Musk was watching. He posted a string of tweets opposing the bill, then went for Trump personally for the first time since allying with him last year.
"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," he tweeted, adding: "Such ingratitude." Tesla stock sank Thursday on news of Musk and Trump's falling out.

Trump won the election as soon as Biden spazzed out during the debates. The dems put up Kamala and literally any republican would have won at that point. Musk needs to take a vacation for awhile.
He did good with DOGE, but I don’t know if people will follow him after his little temper tantrum
Get over yourself, Elon.
As if the commie rag Axios, a spin-off of Politico, really cares.
Splitting our GOP and thus ensuring that the Dems win every election from then on.
Musk is no dope
Old news now. I do hate the GOP though. RINO central stinks.
How about a new Democrat party instead?
The democrats will be encouraging this, it would be a dream come true for them.
Well, people can follow Elon. but know that he is proscribed by the Constitution from ever becoming President.
Nope. Not going to happen
I can only suggest that folks do not, in this case, respond to Laura Loomer, whom I love.
Caroline Wren did an Epic rant on Warroom Battleground re: Jared Isaacman,
it’s the late evening show on Rumble and GETTr that starts just before the half hour break, Natalie is hosting tonight.
Politically he’s a nitwit as he apparently doesn’t understand the budget process. Also Musks own father has turned against him in this spat.
No Trump won the election in Butler Pa on July 13
Please torch the GOP. We’ve been trying to get rid of them for years. MAGA will survive whatever plans you have Elon. You came with the wind. Now you’ve gone with the wind. And you’re not missed one little bit.
He did lackluster with DOGE. Promised 2 trillion, gave us 9 billion. Thats a huge fail.
But he is on dope.
yeah, understanding the budget process is beyond a simple nitwit like Elon
a bunch of crooks scheming, not too hard to figure out
If Musk wants to go down that road, I think he’s going to find that politics isn’t as easy as he thought. It’s one thing to ride Donald Trump’s coattails. It’s another to create a movement of your own.
He has neither the charisma nor the maturity to succeed in politics. And he lacks the ability to bring disparate people together. For all the criticism leveled at Trump, he knows how to build a coalition. Musk seems to be good at burning bridges.
