In an escalation of Elon Musk’s fractured relationship with President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, the Tesla CEO has floated the idea of starting a new political party to rival the two-party system.

"They've been under incredible stress for five months, give them a break," Errol Musk said while attending a forum by Putin's ultranationalist ally in Moscow.

The daylong feud between Musk and Trump featured many accusations and threats, but Musk has since deleted two of his most inflammatory posts from his X account.
