US EditionMusk should stay out of politics, US Treasury Secretary Bessent says
UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Musk’s corporate boards likely prefer he prioritize business over politics after Musk formed the America Party opposing Trump’s spending bill.
- Elon Musk announced on Saturday he had created a new political party called the America Party to challenge wasteful government spending.
- Musk formed the party partly due to opposition to President Trump's recently signed One Big Beautiful Bill that cuts taxes and increases defense spending.
- US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized Musk on Sunday, saying Musk is unpopular and boards likely want him to focus on his businesses instead of politics.
- Bessent remarked that Musk did not enjoy strong support based on voter polls, although he acknowledged that the ideas behind Musk's former Department of Government Efficiency were well received.
- This discord suggests Musk’s political ambitions face resistance from company boards and limited voter support amid his public feud with Trump’s administration.
