In a post on Truth Social, Trump took aim at Musk for the subsidies his companies have received, particularly for electric vehicles. Trump said without them, Musk would "probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa." Trump had also said "we'll have to look" when asked if he would consider deporting Musk.

President Donald Trump said he will 'have to take a look' at deporting Elon Musk to his native South Africa as their fight reached new heights.

After Musk attacked his signature spending bill, the U.S. president threatened to turn Musk's own government agency, DOGE, into a "monster" that would "go back and eat" him.

Elon Musk said that wielding a chainsaw at CPAC "lacked empathy." "Milei gave me the chainsaw backstage and I ran with it," he wrote on X. Musk is now in a deadlock with Trump over the president's big spending bill. Elon Musk said that brandishing a chainsaw onstage in February probably wasn't such a good idea.

In at least seven major departments or agencies, DOGE secured the power to view records that experts say could benefit Elon Musk’s businesses for years.

The feud between billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump has flared to new heights. Any preschool teacher could have seen it coming.
