00:00U.S. President Trump has called billionaire Elon Musk's plan to form a new political party, the America Party, ridiculous.

00:08I think it's ridiculous to start a third party. We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party.

00:15The Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a two-party system.

00:20And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion.

00:23It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked.

00:27So he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous.

00:32Musk started to tease the idea of forming his own party after leaving Trump's administration.

00:37Musk was previously close to the president, heading the White House's Department of Government Efficiency.

00:42Their relationship began deteriorating after he sharply criticized Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act last month.

00:49The bill removed subsidies that helped EV manufacturers like Musk's Tesla and raised the U.S. debt ceiling.
