Trump Blasts Elon Musk Over Political Party Plans: “Off the Rails” and a “Train Wreck”


 


Washington, D.C. — July 8, 2025


US. President Donald Trump has lashed out at tech billionaire Elon Musk, calling him “off the rails” and a “train wreck,” following Musk’s declaration that he is forming a new political party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.


Trump, who remains a central figure in the Republican Party and is widely speculated to be eyeing another presidential run, made the comments during an impromptu press session at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend.


“Elon is a brilliant guy when he sticks to rockets and cars,” Trump said. “But politics? He’s completely off the rails. This whole party idea, it's a train wreck waiting to happen.”


Musk, who has increasingly waded into political discourse over the past few years, announced his intention to launch a centrist political party he described as “pragmatic, pro-innovation, and anti-establishment.” The move has sparked intense debate, with some political analysts viewing it as a challenge to the entrenched two-party system, while others see it as a potential spoiler that could fracture conservative voters.


Trump’s remarks reflect growing tensions between the two powerful figures, once known for publicly cordial exchanges. In recent months, Musk has criticized both Democratic and Republican leadership, calling for a new wave of “rational governance driven by facts and technology.”


Despite Musk’s immense following and influence through platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Trump dismissed the political threat. “He doesn’t understand the game. Politics is not a lab experiment,” Trump said. “People want strength, clarity, tradition, not tech-world chaos.”


In response, Musk posted a cryptic meme on X, hinting at “the old guard fearing the new wave.”


As speculation mounts over the future impact of Musk’s political ambitions, one thing is clear: the brewing battle between the billionaire innovator and the president could reshape the American political landscape, if not its headlines.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...
