Is America on the brink of a third political revolution? The ongoing ‘grand dispute’ between two of the world’s most influential figures, President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, has reached a critical juncture, threatening to send shockwaves through American politics. At the heart of the conflict is Trump’s ambitious “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which Musk has not only questioned but threatened to launch a new political party over!
WASHINGTON: (Breaking News) The escalating tension between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is currently the hottest topic in American circles. Once considered close allies, these two titans are now locked in a head-to-head battle over the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The situation has intensified to the point where Musk has issued a direct ultimatum: “If this bill passes, the very next day, I will form my new political party!”
What’s the Reality Behind the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’?
Donald Trump has presented the “One Big Beautiful Bill” as a “game-changer.” This comprehensive legislation aims to consolidate several crucial policies into one sweeping package:
- Massive Tax Cuts: Extending the 2017 tax cut policies to provide relief for both ordinary citizens and corporations.
- Significant Border Security Spending: Provisions for substantial funding to expand the border wall and expedite the deportation process for undocumented immigrants.
- Increased Defense Budget: A major boost in defense spending to further strengthen the U.S. military.
- Cuts to Health and Education Funds: Proposals for budget reductions in certain government programs, particularly those related to healthcare and education.
- Remittance Tax: A proposed 3.5% tax on money sent abroad.
Trump asserts that this bill will save an estimated $1.6 trillion and propel the American economy to become the most powerful in the world.
Why is Elon Musk Furious? “This Bill Will Bankrupt America!”
Elon Musk, who was once a strong supporter of Trump, has become a fierce opponent of this bill. Musk argues that the bill would balloon America’s national debt by over $4 trillion, pushing the country towards economic ruin. He has vehemently called it a “debt slavery bill” and “utterly insane and destructive.”
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Musk launched a scathing attack: “This bill is utterly insane and wasteful. It will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country.” Musk believes that this legislation will only benefit ‘legacy industries,’ while severely damaging future-oriented sectors like electric vehicles (EVs) and new technologies. He has specifically cited concerns over the bill’s cuts to green energy tax credits and an excise tax on certain renewable energy projects.
Is ‘America Party’ Coming? Musk’s Open Challenge!
The dispute intensified further when Musk openly threatened to form a new political party. He declared, “If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.” Musk believes that America needs an alternative to the Democratic and Republican parties, a platform where the voices of the people can truly be heard. He recently conducted a poll on X, which showed widespread support for a new party, after which he announced the name ‘America Party.’ He has also pledged to personally bankroll primary challenges against any Republican lawmakers who vote for the bill, calling their votes a “betrayal of voters’ trust.”
Trump’s Counterattack: “Musk’s Business Would Shut Down!”
Elon Musk’s relentless attacks have provoked a furious response from Donald Trump. Trump hit back by threatening to cut the government subsidies that Musk’s companies receive. Trump retorted with a jab, “Musk knew, long before he so strongly endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.” Trump also suggested that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk once headed, should take a “good, hard look” at Musk’s government subsidies and contracts.
What’s Next? Will the Bill Pass or Will Musk’s ‘Rebellion’ Prevail?
Currently, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” is undergoing heated debate in the Senate. The Senate is reportedly racing to pass it before a self-imposed July 4th deadline. It will be fascinating to see how far these two American giants will go in their battle. Will Donald Trump succeed in signing his bill into law, or will Elon Musk’s threat of an ‘America Party’ usher in a new era in the American political landscape?
