The conflict escalated when Musk criticized Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schumer-vows-vote-on-changing-senate-rules-if-gop-continues-to-block-efforts\/\" title=\"Schumer Vows Vote On Changing Senate Rules If GOP Continues To Block Efforts\">major legislative effort<\/a>, calling for the establishment of a new political party in response to what he deemed excessive spending in the legislation.Trump suggested that Musk, who has benefited from various goverment subsidies, could face repercussions if he continues his offensive against Trump&#8217;s policies, notably mentioning the potential termination of electric vehicle subsidies. Despite their previous partnership, indications suggest that their relationship may now be permanently strained, as Musk intensifies his public criticism of Trump&#8217;s agenda.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump to &lsquo;take a look&rsquo; at deporting Musk: &lsquo;Put DOGE on Elon&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2163263\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump's\">Donald Trump<\/a> on Tuesday appeared willing to consider deporting <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elon-musk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump's\">Elon Musk<\/a>, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, who recently took to social media to torpedo Trump&rsquo;s &ldquo;big, beautiful bill.&rdquo; Tensions have stretched between the two after a month of relative quiet.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know.

He gets a lot of subsidies,&rdquo; Trump continued. <\/p>\n<p>The conflict between the duo exploded this week when Musk began trashing Trump&rsquo;s major legislative push, pledging to primary congressmen who supported it and even create a rival party. Trump responded early Tuesday morning, blaming Musk&rsquo;s new offensive on bitterness over the lack of a &ldquo;ridiculous&rdquo; electric vehicle subsidy in the bill.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But Elon is very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated. And you know what? When you look at it &hellip; not everybody wants an electric car. I don&rsquo;t want an electric car,&rdquo; Trump said Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also warned that &ldquo;Elon could lose a lot more than&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-american-voters-reject-bidens-climate-agenda-want-reliable-affordable-domestic-energy\/\" title=\"Poll: American Voters Reject Biden\u2019s Climate Agenda \u2013 Want Reliable, Affordable Domestic Energy\u00a0\">electric vehicle mandate<\/a>, likely alluding to his previous threats, first made on June 5, to withdraw contracts for Musk&rsquo;s companies.<\/p>\n<p>Trump threatened several of Musk&rsquo;s government contracts in a post to Truth Social in the midnight hour on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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,&rdquo; Trump said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/114776149269773065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"post\">post<\/a> on Truth Social. &ldquo;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!!!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Musk was active on social media after Trump&rsquo;s hit but didn&rsquo;t address it directly, instead devoting his posts to criticism of the GOP megabill. He also <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1939920087877919115\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"pledged to back\">pledged to back<\/a> Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), whom Trump is looking to oust over his opposition to the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Musk began ramping up his criticism of the &ldquo;big, beautiful bill&rdquo; on Sunday and escalated it on Monday in a series of posts on X.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country &mdash; the PORKY PIG PARTY!!&rdquo; Musk&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1939762942851027127?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>&nbsp;on Monday. &ldquo;Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;How can you call yourself the Freedom Caucus if you vote for a DEBT SLAVERY bill with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >biggest debt ceiling increase<\/a> in history?&rdquo; he added, tagging Reps.

Tensions eased throughout the rest of the month due to allies&rsquo; intervention and the shifting of attention to greater concerns, such as the war between Iran and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The president gave a charitable assessment of Musk in a Friday interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, which was aired on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He got a little bit upset, and you know that wasn&rsquo;t appropriate,&rdquo; Trump said of Musk about their June 5 blowup, adding that he has &ldquo;not spoken to him much&rdquo; since.<\/p>\n<p>Trump again pinned the reason for the public argument on the rescission of electric vehicle subsidies, though he sprinkled praise for Musk throughout, calling him &ldquo;fantastic.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Musk had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/railroad-freight-companies-cutting-service-ahead-of-potential-nationwide-strike\/\" title=\"Railroad Freight Companies Cutting Service Ahead Of Potential Nationwide Strike\">begun scaling back<\/a> some of his rhetoric, saying he&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1932695486684950962?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regretted<\/a>&nbsp;&ldquo;some&rdquo; of what he said on June 5 and that he had gone &ldquo;too far.&rdquo; Now, indications suggest the rift is permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Philip Low, a neuroscientist and former longtime friend of Musk, warned <em>Politico<\/em> earlier this week that the tech mogul would go scorched earth against Trump.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3457381\/musk-blasts-senate-version-trump-tax-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MUSK BLASTS &lsquo;INSANE AND DESTRUCTIVE&rsquo;
