What happens when two of America’s most powerful egos collide? You get a political firestorm like this.
On Tuesday, former allies Donald Trump and Elon Musk reignited their public feud—with threats, insults, and even talk of deportation.
Musk was once Trump’s top donor and head of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
He is now railing against the president’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
Furious, Trump hinted at revoking federal funds to Musk’s companies.
He even questioned whether Musk—an American citizen since 2002—should be deported.
“We might have to put DOGE on Elon,” Trump said, warning, “I don’t think he should be playing that game with me.”
Tesla shares tumbled as Musk responded with icy restraint: “So tempting to escalate this. So, so tempting.”
Musk’s Main Gripe?
He says the bill blows up the deficit and undercuts clean energy goals.
“All I’m asking is that we don’t bankrupt America,” he posted on X.
Now, he’s threatening to form the “America Party” and bankroll challengers to Republicans backing Trump’s plan.
Just months ago, they were MAGA-hat-wearing besties. Now?
Musk may be Trump’s biggest political headache.
If billionaires are the new political parties, buckle up—2026 is going to be wild.
