(DCNF)—President Donald Trump condemned Elon Musk’s newly-announced third party on Sunday while speaking to reporters in New Jersey.
Musk posted on X Saturday that he had just launched the “America Party” to restore “freedom” to Americans. When a reporter asked Trump for his reaction, the president immediately said it was a “ridiculous” move by Musk.
“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party. We have a tremendous success with the Republican party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system,” Trump said. “And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked. So he can have fun with it but I think it’s ridiculous.”
Trump also railed against Musk and his creation of the new party in a Sunday Truth Social post following his comments to reporters.
“I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States – The System seems not designed for them,” the president wrote. “The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds!”
Musk started to repeatedly raise the notion of forming the “America Party” to appeal to disaffected fiscal conservatives and libertarians due to his frustration with Republican lawmakers backing Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill — which the president signed into law on Friday.
However, political experts argue that it would be better for Musk to spend his billions to buy influence within the Republican Party’s existing structure instead of challenging America’s established two-party duopoly.
“Third parties are like honeybees — they sting and then they die,” Georgetown political historian Michael Kazin told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Musk posted an X poll on Friday asking if Americans “want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system” by forming “the America Party.”
Nearly two-thirds of X users voted in favor of the new party, while slightly over one third voted against it, prompting him to announce the creation of the “America Party” on Saturday.
CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings also warned Musk on Sunday that the “America Party” could split right-leaning Americans and help Democrats win elections.
“My humble advice to Elon, who I admire very much, actually, is that you may be dividing the forces of people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit of the people who don’t,” Jennings said. “And so, to the extent that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans against each other, that wouldn’t be helpful, because it would leave the country to people who want unfettered immigration, who don’t share your fiscal views, and so on and so forth.”

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.

Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
