Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has offered Elon Musk some advice, suggesting alternative ways he could put his money to use instead of trying to launch his third party, the "America Party," according to Fox News.

 

Elon Musk has clashed with President Trump in recent weeks over his "Big Beautiful Bill," raising alarms about the national deficit and increased government spending.

"For them, agricultural lands and our farms, because they are a previous inheritance, are weapons to be turned against us," she continued. "We see it again and again, from Chinese communist acquisition of American farmland...Read more and see video here.
