WASHINGTON, July 1 – U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday the White House will have to examine the possibility of deporting Elon Musk, after the billionaire entrepreneur blasted the president’s tax and spending bill.
Musk, who originally hails from South Africa and is now a U.S. citizen, posted several posts of criticism over the weekend on social media aimed at Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
The tech titan lambasted the bill for what he said was adding to the U.S. debt.
Trump jabbed back on Tuesday, posting on social media that Musk, who is the CEO of electric vehicle company Tesla, was upset that the legislation eliminated tax credits for electric vehicles.
This is the latest in a row between the two billionaires, with the two in a tit-for-tat war of words.
Trump’s sweeping bill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday, includes increased spending for defense, energy production and border security.
