The feud between President Donald Trump and former special government employee and billionaire Elon Musk ramped up Tuesday with Trump suggesting to \u201ctake a look\u201d at deporting Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House on Tuesday before visiting a Florida immigration detention center nicknamed \u201cAlligator Alcatraz\u201d when a reporter asked Trump if he would consider deporting Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, I mean, we\u2019ll have to take a look,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe might have to put DOGE on Elon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s threats represent a sharp contrast to someone he appeared to consider a close friend once. Musk formerly served as a special government employee and overseer of the Department of Government Efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe gets a lot of subsidies, Peter, but Elon\u2019s very upset that the EV mandate is gonna be terminated,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk criticized excessive federal spending and committed to cut \u201cwaste, fraud and abuse\u201d in government contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A February Washington Post report<\/a> found Musk\u2019s businesses across Tesla and SpaceX received more than $38 billion in federal funding over the past 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Trump\u2019s legislative agenda moves forward in the \u201cOne Big, Beautiful, Bill,\u201d Musk has repeatedly criticized the legislation for its impact on the federal debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk maintains that he is not concerned about President Trump\u2019s elimination of the electric vehicle mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you eliminated all EV incentives tomorrow, Tesla\u2019s competitive position would improve significantly,\u201d Musk said in a 2022 interview that he recently reposted on\u00a0social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said Musk could be headed back to South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!\u201d Trump wrote in a social media post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Congressional Budget Office estimated the \u201cOne Big, Beautiful Bill\u201d would boost federal deficits by $3.3 trillion over the next decade, the Center Square\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day,\u201d Musk wrote in a Monday\u00a0social media post. \u201cOur country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another post to\u00a0social media, Musk threatened members of Congress who vote for the bill and are running for reelection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on Earth,\u201d Musk wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk\u00a0reportedly\u00a0spent at least $3 million supporting conservative Brad Schimel for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, who ultimately lost the nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk\u2019s support of candidates that oppose President Trump\u2019s agenda could jeopardize the already razor thin margins in Congress that support the President\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
