🚨 Elon Musk Fires Back at Trump’s Deportation Threat with a Bold Warning
🔍 What Sparked the Feud
- Elon Musk publicly criticized former President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”, warning it would drastically increase the national debt and cut green-energy incentives
- In retaliation, Trump hinted at revoking subsidies to Musk’s companies—Tesla, SpaceX—and even suggested exploring deportation, despite Musk being a naturalized U.S. citizen
🗣 Musk’s Fiery Response
- On his platform X, Musk replied with a terse warning: “So tempting to escalate this. So, so tempting. But I will refrain for now.”
- The reply came after Musk acknowledged Trump’s threats were “<< just plain wrong >>” .
💣 The Stakes Are High
- Trump has pledged to review or cut federal benefits tied to Musk, including EV credits and government contracts
- Tesla’s stock dropped 5.3% amid the tension—and remains down about 12% since June
- Musk is reportedly considering forming a third political party (“America Party”) and backing Trump opponents like Rep. Thomas Massie
🤔 What This Could Mean
- This clash threatens to reshape the relationship between big tech and government.
- Cutting aid to Musk could jeopardize Tesla’s EV mandate, SpaceX’s contracts, and the broader green-energy push.
- Musk’s political pivot may weaken Trump’s base and inject corporate power into new political terrain.
🔭 Final Take
What started as a clash over budget and subsidies has become a high-stakes standoff—with Trump’s threats aiming to corner Musk, and Musk pushing back with financial influence and political ambition.
The question now:
Will this feud drive Musk to escalate — or will both men cling to restraint… for now? Musk’s warning suggests this fight is far from over.
