The feud reignited on Monday when Musk, who spent hundreds of millions on Trump's re-election, renewed his criticism of Trump's tax-cut and spending bill, which would eliminate subsidies for electric vehicle purchases that have benefited Tesla, the leading U.S. EV maker. That bill passed the Senate by a narrow margin midday Tuesday.

As Elon Musk continues to blast Trump's budget bill, the president seems to entertain the thought of deporting the Tesla CEO, a US citizen born in South Africa.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk posted to his X account about the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” saying “if this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.”
