Don't Bankrupt America': Musk Vows to Campaign Against Republicans Who Support Trump's Debt-Raising Megabill
Briefly

President Donald Trump has targeted Republican Congress members who oppose his tax-and-spending package, threatening them with primary challenges. Tech billionaire Elon Musk has joined this effort, stating he will challenge any Republican supporting a bill that increases the national debt substantially. He criticized Congress members who promised to reduce spending yet backed the largest debt increase ever. Musk also proposed forming a new political party, the America Party, if the bill is enacted, claiming it would offer an alternative to the current bipartisan system.
Elon Musk stated that every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame.
Musk warned that Republican Congress members supporting the bill would face his wrath and lose their primary elections, stressing his commitment to challenge them.
Musk described the spending bill as a record increase of five trillion dollars to the debt ceiling, criticizing the political climate as a 'one-party country'.
Musk suggested that if the bill passes, he intends to form the America Party the following day as an alternative to the existing political structure.
