President Donald Trump Tuesday did not dismiss the idea of deporting Elon Musk and said he will have to take a look. Though a naturalized American citizen, Elon Musk was born in South Africa, and in the fresh tussle between Trump and Musk over the old ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’, Trump made a reference to Elon Musk’s South African origin as he said Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. Reacting to Elon Musk’s attack on his spending bill, Trump launched a late-night rant against Musk. “Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.Speaking to reporters as he departed the White House to visit an immigration detention facility in Florida, the president was asked if Musk could be deported. “I don’t know. We’ll have to take a look,” he said. “We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon,” he said.
