United States President Donald Trump has labelled Elon Musk’s plans to form a new political party as “ridiculous.
Trump also said that the Musk ally he once named to lead NASA would have presented a conflict of interest given the SpaceX founder’s business interests in space.
Trump spoke to reporters in New Jersey before boarding Air Force One en-route to Washington DC.
Recall Musk announced on Saturday that he is establishing the “America Party” in response to Trump’s tax-cut and spending bill, saying that it would bankrupt the country.
