Trump is not playing games.
President Donald Trump reignited his feud with tech billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday, teasing the possibility of deportation and a full-scale government probe into the billions in taxpayer dollars that have funded Musk’s empire.
Speaking to reporters and posting on Truth Social, Trump hinted that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could soon investigate Tesla, SpaceX, and other Musk-led companies — questioning whether U.S. taxpayers have been fleeced to enrich one man.
“Elon may have received more government subsidies than any human in history,” Trump posted. “Without those handouts, he’d probably have to shut it all down and head back to South Africa. No more rockets. No more electric cars. America would save a fortune.”
🔥 Musk Slams Trump’s Signature Bill, Sparks Fallout
The sharp rebuke came after Musk launched a blistering attack on Trump’s landmark One Big Beautiful Bill, calling it “utterly insane,” “destructive,” and “political suicide.” Musk warned that the bill would kill American jobs, crush innovation, and hand power to wasteful bureaucrats.
“This bill is a disaster,” Musk wrote on X. “It funds outdated industries while sabotaging the future of America.”
Musk even threatened to primary lawmakers who back the bill, warning, “They will lose their primaries — if it’s the last thing I do on this Earth.”
🚨 Trump Fires Back: “Maybe DOGE Should Investigate Elon”
Pressed by reporters Tuesday on the White House South Lawn, Trump doubled down.
“We’ll take a look,” Trump said. “Maybe DOGE should take a hard look at Elon. That monster might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be something?”
Trump accused Musk of being upset over losing the EV mandate, a policy that forced Americans into buying electric cars — something the President has long opposed.
“Elon knew I was against the EV mandate from the start,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Electric cars are fine — but no American should be forced to buy one. That was a core part of my campaign.”
🇺🇸 America First — Not Billionaire First
This explosive war of words highlights a growing divide between Trump’s America First agenda and globalist billionaires demanding endless handouts.
While Trump fights to cut waste, protect taxpayers, and restore freedom of choice, Musk appears to be railing against the very system that made him rich — even as he cashes in on massive government contracts and subsidies.
“The truth is, without U.S. taxpayers, Elon Musk wouldn’t be the richest man in the world,” one White House official said. “Now he’s biting the hand that fed him.”
As the 2026 election season ramps up, this feud could reshape not only the GOP’s future — but also how conservatives view tech oligarchs, corporate welfare, and government overreach.
