After declaring he was stepping away from the political spotlight, Elon Musk got right back in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Senate debated President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cBig, Beautiful Bill\u201d on Monday before a final vote, Musk issued a stark warning via his social media platform X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,\u201d he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few hours later he went further, declaring<\/a> on X that if the \u201cinsane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For weeks, Musk has railed against Trump\u2019s policy bill, leading to a very public and ugly fight with Trump earlier<\/a> this month. In a flurry of X posts several weeks ago, Musk had proposed starting a new political party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That proposal resurfaced on Monday, when Musk said<\/a>: \u201cIt is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country \u2013 the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk\u2019s resolution to support candidates who plan to launch primary campaigns against members of Congress is one of Musk\u2019s most concrete political threats since leaving his post as a White House adviser. Musk spent more than $275 million to support Trump and other Republican candidates in the 2024 election. In late May he said in an interview he was planning to cut back on political spending, saying he has \u201cdone enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Federal Election Commission filings, Musk\u2019s political action committee, America PAC, last gave money in March to support two Republican candidates running in special elections in Florida \u2013 Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk has long supported closed borders, deportations and stopping illegal immigration, in line with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the domestic policy bill has appeared to trigger a rift between the Tesla CEO and the White House. Musk has argued that the Republican policy bill will increase the debt, calling it \u201cdebt slavery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate bill would add nearly $3.3 trillion to the deficit<\/a> over the next decade, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate released Sunday. The Senate legislation costs more than the House-approved bill, which would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate package contains deeper tax cuts,<\/strong> fewer spending cuts and provisions that would raise revenue. The White House has argued<\/a> the bill \u201cslashes deficits\u201d and the debt, while \u201cunleashing economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration and certain Senate Republicans are opting not to include the cost of extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts in their calculations of the bill\u2019s impact on the federal deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Musk has said the loss of electric vehicle and solar energy subsidies and credits in the bill are not why he opposes the legislation, he has complained<\/a> the bill \u201cgives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
