Elon Musk still hasn’t gotten over the tragic death of an internet-famous squirrel. Musk dragged Peanut the Squirrel, who was euthanized by the State of New York last year, into the furor over the Trump administration’s failure to release the much-hyped files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Elon Musk has escalated his feud with Steve Bannon by claiming that he was named in the “Epstein files.” Donald Trump’s Department of Justice and the FBI said in a memo made public on Sunday that there is no evidence that the disgraced financier kept a “client list” or evidence for further charges in the case.

"I think it'll help us," Trump said about Elon Musk's "America Party." He added that "third parties have always been good for me."

Musk, who has been floating the idea of creating a third political party for weeks in the wake of his split with the president, reignited the push over the weekend after the passage of Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending bill -- which Musk railed against over its estimated impact adding trillions to the national debt.
