Trump says he will ‘take a look’ at deporting Musk as feud reaches new height
Trump now thinking about ‘deporting’ former first buddy Elon Musk
- Donald Trump suggested he would "take a look" at deporting Elon Musk after Musk renewed criticism of Trump's signature tax and spending legislation.
- Trump also hinted at using the "Department of Government Efficiency (Doge)," an agency once led by Musk, against him.
- Musk, a naturalized American citizen, has been a vocal critic of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" since returning to the private sector after leading Doge, which significantly cut government spending.
- Trump claims Musk's opposition stems from the administration's efforts to eliminate tax incentives for electric vehicles, suggesting Musk's financial interests are the motivation.
- Trump threatened Musk with financial repercussions, while Musk has so far refrained from directly responding to the threats but hinted at future escalation.
