Trump Comments on Musk’s Criticism of Legislation

Former President Donald Trump made a statement regarding Elon Musk, suggesting he might “deport” the Tesla founder after Musk criticized the recently passed procedural vote known as the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Even though Musk has publicly dismissed his desire for electric vehicle tax credits to be included in the legislation, insiders allege he personally lobbied for their inclusion from key Congressional members, particularly Chairman Mike Johnson.

In a Truth Social post, Trump remarked on Musk’s discontent about the exclusion of EV tax credits from the bill. He mentioned, “I don’t know. We need to look,” implying that further scrutiny of Musk’s situation was appropriate.

Trump humorously suggested, “We may have to put Doge on Elon,” referring to a fictional monster, further underscoring his point about needing to examine Musk’s stance more closely.

Trump also criticized the financial incentives Musk might enjoy without deserved support, stating, “Elon may get more subsidies than anyone in history without them, but he might need to shut down and head back to South Africa.” His comments indicated that Musk’s ability to launch rockets or sell electric vehicles might no longer be viable, sparking a debate about potential savings for the country.

This reflects the extravagant spending in the bill, contributing to the record $5 trillion debt. It’s time for new parties that actually care about people,!

This isn’t the first time Musk and Trump clashed. Tension mounted between Musk and the Trump administration, particularly after Musk’s NASA selections were sidelined, marking a significant point of contention. An insider shared that Musk appeared to be overly ambitious, inadvertently placing himself in a position that some might interpret as acting like a secondary president.

Amidst these disputes, Musk expressed regret over his previous comments about Trump, acknowledging that his opinions may have crossed a line.
