CNN Data Guru Laughs At Horrendous Polling On Musk’s ‘America Party’
CNN’s chief data analyst literally laughed when detailing the total lack of support for Elon Musk’s lofty ambitions to launch a new “America Party.”
During a segment on “CNN News Central” with anchor John Berman, Enten revealed that only 4 percent of voters like Musk and dislike the Republican Party—a minuscule base as Musk tries to take revenge against the Republican Party for passing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
“This entire thing makes very little sense to me. It makes about as much sense as selling sand in the desert,” Enten said.
“It turns out most of the people who like Elon Musk already like the GOP already—that is, they already have a party for ‘em! In my mind, there is just no base for Elon Musk’s third party in the electorate,” Enten added.
Musk announced over the weekend that he would form his “America Party,” claiming that he wanted to combat the current two-party system that was “bankrupting our country with waste & graft.”
Trump lashed out at Musk on Truth Social on Sunday, saying he was “off the rails” for his third-party quest, which he suggested would only lead to “the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS.”

Trump echoed those words when he spoke to reporters on his way back to Washington, D.C., this weekend.
“He can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous,” he said on Sunday.
“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party. We have had tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to the confusion,” he said. “It really seems to have been developed for two parties.”
Musk’s proposed party, which he’s calling the America Party, is the latest sign of a public falling out between the two men.
The two were once close, with Musk pouring hundreds of millions into Trump’s campaign and being rewarded with a major role overseeing government spending cuts as he was named the unofficial head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
That relationship began to unravel last month when Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill passed Congress.
Musk slammed the legislation, which was known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, as a “disgusting abomination.”
He also said he would back primary challengers against any Republican who voted for it.
The bill still passed with overwhelming Republican support.
Musk has not shared much about what the America Party stands for or who is involved in building it.
“Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate,” Musk wrote on X Sunday.
Trump has also threatened to slash federal contracts and tax subsidies that benefit Musk’s companies.
On Sunday night, Trump said Musk only turned on him because the bill eliminated electric vehicle tax credits.
“I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate — It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had,” Trump wrote.
“He said he had no problems with that — I was very surprised!”
Musk had previously supported ending EV tax credits, but changed his position this year as Tesla’s sales declined.
Trump also said Musk was furious over his decision to pull the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a close friend of Musk’s and a SpaceX astronaut, to head NASA.
