Q1. Over the weekend, Elon Musk announced he was forming a new political party called the America Party.

Musk was the largest donor to President Trump's 2024 campaign, but the two split last month over Trump's Big Beautiful tax and spend bill, which Musk said will blow up the deficit. Trump said Musk was just angry because the bill phased out electric vehicle credits that benefited Musk's EV company Tesla.

How do you feel about the America Party, and about Elon Musk?
