In a shocking political twist, U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of deporting tech billionaire Elon Musk, following a bitter fallout over electric vehicle policies. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

While speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump was asked about Musk’s recent criticism of his administration’s controversial legislative package dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The bill controversially scales back support for electric vehicles—a move that has clearly angered Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.

Trump responded bluntly:

“I don’t know. We’ll have to take a look.”

But the most eyebrow-raising moment came when Trump, clearly irked by Musk’s opposition, jokingly referenced the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a tool that could “go back and eat Elon.”

“We might have to put DOGE on Elon… DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.”

💥 Fallout Over EV Policy

The fallout stems from Trump’s decision to roll back clean energy and EV-friendly mandates in favor of traditional energy sources. Musk, a longtime champion of electric vehicles, voiced his discontent and even hinted at starting a new political party dubbed the “America Party” to combat Trump’s environmental U-turn.

🤑 “Without Subsidies, Elon Is Nothing” – Trump Fires Back

Taking to Truth Social, Trump fired another shot:

“Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.”

Trump’s comment alludes to billions of dollars in government subsidies and tax breaks Musk’s companies have received over the years.

⚖️ Is Deportation Really on the Table?
