Elon Musk and Donald Trump are at it again, fighting about the US President's ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’
Trump has taken swipes at Musk, claiming that the tech billionaire gets more subsidies than anybody in history.
He added that the United States would save a fortune if it stopped offering Musk subsidies.
‘Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,’ Trump said on Truth Social.
“DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.”
– Donald Trump
Trump also said he would look into whether Musk should be deported from the US, and claims Musk is just upset about the removal of the EV mandate.
Musk vocally criticised Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’, saying every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing spending and voted for this bill should 'hang their head in shame'.
He also vowed to do everything in his power to ensure they lose their primary in 2026.
Musk says he will form a new political party if the bill passes.

“I think Elon is just really concerned about the trillions of dollars that he thinks are being wasted, but that’s the debate. Is it political, or is it about the EV mandate?”

“Nothing good can come from two powerful narcissists in a fight.”
