The Feud Heats Up!

In a surprising twist to their previously friendly relationship, former President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of deporting tech mogul Elon Musk, igniting a fiery public feud. This drama unfolded as Trump commented on the potential review of government subsidies that benefit Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.

Trump's Bold Claims about DOGE

During a contentious exchange with reporters, Trump introduced the idea of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), previously led by Musk, potentially reviewing the substantial US government subsidies allocated to Musk's ventures. "We might have to put DOGE on Elon," Trump quipped. "DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon," he added, suggesting a bureaucratic crackdown could be on the horizon.

The Origins of Their Turmoil

The animosity sprouted in early June, after Musk labeled Trump's tax reform plan a "disgusting abomination." Trump retaliated with veiled threats to Musk's businesses, causing the billionaire to advocate for the President's impeachment. Though Musk initially dialed back his criticism, tensions reignited earlier this week when he targeted Trump's policies again.

Musk's Outrage and Political Aspirations

Musk didn't hold back, claiming the tax cuts were political suicide for the GOP and derogatorily dubbing it the "Porky Pig party." Adding fuel to the fire, he hinted at forming a new political entity named the "America Party" if the legislation passed. As the Senate narrowly approved the bill, Musk took to his social media platform, X, demanding an alternative to the existing political regime.

Trump's Retaliation: Goodbye Subsidies?

In response to Musk's escalating criticisms, Trump threatened that without federal assistance, Musk's businesses could face dire consequences: "No more rocket launches, satellites, or electric car production, and our country would save a fortune," he proclaimed on Truth Social. He speculated that Musk could be forced to return to South Africa if he lost his financial backing.

The Ongoing Saga Continues

Musk remains defiant, continuing to share memes and posts that critique the tax cuts and their implications for national debt on X. As the rift between these two power players widens, the political landscape could change dramatically, potentially reshaping alliances and the future of American politics.
