On June 6, local time, CCTV reporters learned that American entrepreneur and former head of the "Government Efficiency Department" Elon Musk publicly stated in recent days that he was considering creating a new political party.
It is understood that Musk first proposed this idea on the 5th. He voted on 220 million fans on social platform X, asking whether he agreed to "it's time to create a new party in the United States that truly represents 80% of the centrists."
Survey results show that more than 80% of voters choose "Yes". Musk posted on the evening of the 6th, saying: "This is fate." Subsequently, Musk also agreed with the party name proposal put forward by a fan - the "America Party".
After the conflict between US President Trump and Musk was made public, it quickly escalated into a verbal war on the 5th. The direct fuse is Trump's threat to cut government subsidies and contracts for Musk-related companies. Tesla's market value immediately evaporated by more than US$150 billion.
In less than a year since Musk's public support for Trump in July 2024 to the breakdown of his relationship, the two of them turned completely against each other because of a bill named "big and beautiful".
Trump claimed to be "very disappointed" with Musk
Musk retorted: It was a big mistake, I didn't show the bill;
Trump said "Musk was crazy"
Musk: Not being a scapegoat;......
The first person behind the battle of words was Tesla. On June 5, shortly after Musk and Trump fought each other, the market value of Tesla, an electric vehicle company with Musk as CEO, quickly evaporated by about 100 billion US dollars, and Tesla's stock price plummeted 16% on the same day. As of the close of the day, Tesla's stock price fell 14.26% from the opening, and its market value evaporated by more than US$150 billion.
Judging from the respective tone between Trump and Musk, the relationship between the two seems to have not yet been significantly eased, and the "hot war" shifted from a "cold war" confrontation. Trump said on the 6th that he would not talk to Musk in the near future and called him a "poor guy in question."
