I've seen a few different versions and headlines.

But it looks like reality is hitting the billionaire and he may be backing down from his 3rd Party.




Musk Reportedly Scales Back 'America First Party' Plans In Possible Détente With Trump

There are emerging signs that Elon Musk and President Trump have reached a détente - well, at least for now.
The public bickering has stopped, tensions over Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' have faded, and both men have found common ground in backing the deployment of federal troops to curb violent crime across Washington, D.C., after DOGE's 'Big Balls' was injured in an attack.
Now, a new report from the Wall Street Journal, citing sources, says Musk has dialed back plans to launch a political party to challenge Trump ahead of next year's midterms.
Here are key points from the WSJ report (citing sources):
  • Focus on Tesla/SpaceX & GOP Ties: Musk is prioritizing his companies and preserving his relationship with Vice President JD Vance, seen as Trump's political successor. He has privately admitted forming a party could strain that alliance.
  • Future Support for Vance: Musk is considering channeling financial support into Vance's potential 2028 presidential run, after spending nearly $300 million to back Trump and Republicans in 2024.
An excerpt from WSJ:
As he has considered launching a party, the Tesla chief executive officer has been focused in part on maintaining ties with Vice President JD Vance, who is widely seen as a potential heir to the MAGA political movement. Musk has stayed in touch with Vance in recent weeks, and he has acknowledged to associates that if he goes ahead with forming a political party, he would damage his relationship with the vice president, the people said.
Musk and his associates have told people close to him that he is considering using some of his vast financial resources to back Vance if he decides to run for president in 2028, some of the people said. Musk spent close to $300 million to support Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 election.

An excerpt from WSJ:H
I worry about Elon Musk. Who can trust a person who got irritated with the team he was on, so he picked up His ball and went home. Not only did he abandon President Trump, he started an opposition team and betrayed Trump and the GOP.

Now he wants back on the team????
