Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) cautioned Elon Musk on Monday against the formation of a new third party, the America Party. DeSantis warned that the new party could increase Democrats’ chances of winning elections and hurt Musk’s political priorities.

Steve Bannon has attacked Elon Musk over his plans to create a new political party. Speaking on his War Room podcast, President Donald Trump 's former chief strategist called out the South African-born billionaire, who has U.S. citizenship, and said he was "not American."

After Steve Bannon falsely claimed the world’s richest person isn’t American, Musk fired back by calling Bannon a “fat, drunken slob.”
