TRUMP vs MUSK
The threat after the entrepreneur's criticisms of the spending law, further exacerbated during the transition from the House to the Senate. Musk: "I will oppose the reelection of anyone who voted for the law, even if it is the last thing I do on this earth"
The truce between Donald Trump and Elon Musk lasted only a few weeks. After the public spat and the attempt at reconciliation in May, the president and his former first buddy have once again clashed hard on their respective social media, exchanging attacks and threats, with the Tycoon even suggesting a possible expulsion of the Tesla chief from the United States. "Without subsidies" for electric cars, "Elon probably should close shop and go back home to South Africa," Trump thundered, causing the company's stock to plunge by 7%. When asked if he wanted and could deport the billionaire, the president replied bluntly: "I will take a look." In a fit of rage, the Tycoon also threatened to unleash the government's efficiency department against Musk, that Doge which the magnate led to conduct the administration's battle against fraud and waste in public spending. "The Doge should perhaps carefully look" at Musk's empire, a beneficiary of significant public contracts: "There are certainly many savings to be made".
