Musk made the announcement on his X platform, stating, “Today the America Party is created to give you back your freedom.” A day earlier, he had conducted a poll asking his followers whether a new American political party should be formed.

The development comes amid rising tensions between the two, despite Musk having spent a significant amount supporting Trump’s election campaigns in the past. Trump has recently criticised Musk, warning him that without government subsidies, Tesla would not be able to continue its electric vehicle production and SpaceX would not be able to launch rockets and satellites. Trump further said that if subsidies were stopped, Musk would have to leave his business and return to South Africa.

Trump also called for a probe into the subsidies received by Musk, claiming the Tesla CEO has benefited significantly from government support.

The US President reiterated his stance against mandatory conditions for purchasing electric vehicles, stating that while EVs are beneficial, people should not be forced to buy them.

A team has also taken Majithia to his native area, Amritsar’s Majitha, and is expected to reach there by 12:30 pm. Meanwhile, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is preparing to interrogate Majithia in connection with the case and has contacted the vigilance team, claiming the matter may fall under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Other agencies are also monitoring the developments closely.

Amid the ongoing investigation, a post was shared on Majithia’s social media account X, where his lawyer Dharamvir Singh Sobti challenged the authorities, stating, “My open challenge to the DGP Punjab, Vigilance Chief, and Punjab AG is to add even a single small section under the NDPS.”

The post included a video from the time of Majithia’s arrest and another clip where Sobti is seen responding to a journalist’s question on the government’s stance that the case is part of a ‘war against drugs.’ Sobti termed the government’s position as propaganda and a “media trial,” adding, “If you want a media trial, we agree.”

The case continues to draw attention in Punjab as multiple agencies expand their probe into the allegations against the Akali leader.
