Trump Slams Musk's New Party Plan Amid Tesla Stock Uncertainty
So here’s what’s been stirring things up lately—Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two of the most high-profile figures in American politics and business, have gone head-to-head. What once looked like a solid alliance between the former president and the Tesla CEO is now unraveling in public. And yeah, it’s making waves not just in political circles but in the markets too, especially around Tesla stock.

Over the weekend, Musk confirmed he’s launching a new political group, the America Party , aiming to challenge what he calls the “Uniparty”—a term he uses to lump together the Republicans and Democrats. Now, we’ve seen tech moguls dabble in politics before, but this is on another level. Musk’s plan isn’t just talk. He’s setting his sights on real political influence, focusing on key Senate and House races. It’s not about the presidency—for now. But the goal is clearly to shake up the system.
Trump, unsurprisingly, didn’t take kindly to it. Speaking before boarding Air Force One, he dismissed Musk’s efforts as “ridiculous” and said a third party would only create confusion. Then he doubled down on Truth Social, calling Musk “off the rails” and even a “train wreck.” Pretty dramatic language for someone who once had Musk running his informal Department of Government Efficiency. It’s wild how fast alliances can crumble in Washington.
The fallout goes beyond name-calling. Trump is now threatening additional 10% tariffs on countries that support what he describes as “anti-American” BRICS policies. BRICS, which includes China, Russia, and other emerging economies, has increasingly positioned itself as a counterbalance to U.S. influence. If these tariffs hit, it could mean real trouble for global trade—and possibly a direct impact on Tesla, which operates manufacturing and supply chains across several BRICS-aligned nations.
For Tesla stockholders, this public feud and looming trade uncertainty are a big deal. The stock has already been volatile this year, and with Musk devoting more energy to political disruption, investors are nervous. A split focus for Musk, combined with the threat of new tariffs that could directly hit Tesla’s bottom line, doesn’t exactly build confidence on Wall Street.
And don’t forget, Musk recently blasted Trump’s new tax and spending law, calling it “utterly insane and destructive.” That bill is expected to add trillions to the national debt—something Musk, a longtime fiscal hawk, says is dangerous. So yeah, this feud isn’t just personal; it’s ideological too.
