US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he could consider deporting Elon Musk, after the South African-born billionaire slammed his flagship spending bill.

Trump also said the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — which Musk headed before stepping down late May — may train its sights on the Tesla and SpaceX founder’s government subsidies.

“I don’t know. We’ll have to take a look,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked if he would consider deporting Musk.

“We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.”

Trump doubled down on the threat when he said he believed Musk was attacking his so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” because he was annoyed that it had dropped measures to support electric vehicles (EV).

“He’s losing his EV mandate. He’s very upset about things, but you know, he could lose a lot more than that, I can tell you right now. Elon can lose a lot more than that.”

Trump made similar comments on his Truth Social network late Monday, saying that “without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.”

Musk, the world’s richest person, was Trump’s biggest donor in the 2024 election and initially maintained a near constant presence at the newly elected president’s side.

They had an acrimonious public falling out this month over the bill and the tycoon has reprised his criticisms in recent days, accusing Republicans of abandoning efforts to place the United States at the front of the EV and clean energy revolution.

Musk has also renewed his calls for the formation of a new political party called the “America Party” if the bill passed.

Brilliant! Fail to deport even 1% of the flood of illegals we know have crossed the border... and instead, deport our richest (and most invested/industrious/productive) legal immigrant!! Now that's how you make America great again!!

The US system was fine before we had an Elon Musk.

We landed on the moon and defeated communism in Europe without him.

What would lowering the debt limit do anyways? Purely symbolic. Perhaps it would just give the Senate a chance to extort more taxes when the debt limit needs extended sooner?

Thats all they do when the debt limit is imposed.

Its nice he gave JD Vance something to do atleast.

Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul)

Throughout the Vote-a-rama, I was working all night to stop Congress from adding to our debt. I met with @VP and I reiterated my offer to vote for the bill—if it included a 90% reduction in the debt ceiling. No earmarks. No handouts. Just real fiscal reform. I wasn’t looking for favors. I...

JD Vance is Palantir’s man and every call for “Vance 2028” is likely music to the ears of the deep state and its Big Tech allies.

The "dark enlightenment" is simply a variation on the technocracy of "sustainable development" or the "great reset." Technocratic control is the goal in both

Sure. Why not. Take the data that he accumulated on Americans and run. That's what Technocracy is all about. It can be done anywhere in the world. Without accountability. It will be considered proprietary.

In the olden days, people like that would never be allowed to leave. Gotta hand it to Trump, eh?

In the olden days money was more powerful than the rule of law that was the real golden rule and you couldn't give the richest man in the world the finger.

I know, this is typical Trump. I would say there's about a .00001% chance he deports him.

We landed on the moon

That narrows it down. There were 12 men who landed on the moon, only four of whom are still living. So which one is you: Buzz Aldrin, David Scott, Charles Duke or Harrison Schmitt

You think those 12 men got to the moon all on their own?

They got there standing on the shoulders of giants.

Whats so wrong about deporting Elon Musk?

I think we short deport him to Mars.

Maybe he would like that.

He can't. Without spacex the mic has no viable launch system.

 

[nikcers]

He can't. Without spacex the mic has no viable launch system.

Then we could just make one.

We could just build our own Elon Musk.

Its not like the only reason we have a space program is because of someone from South Africa.

The USA spent trillions of dollars on rocket programs before he got here.

Not only did NASA have reusable rocket prototypes that just were never funded but we had a heavy launch ICBM called peacemaker that we dismantled after the cold war ended.

Plus you know the shuttle program which we spent hundreds of billions on.

 

[unknown]

Did we

Fuck no.

So Rand is fine with the bill but instead of 1 vote to raise the debt ceiling, he wants 10 votes over the next few years to raise the debt ceiling, when he knows it will be raised every time or the USA defaults. I.E. more pointless votes for him the do what he loves, grandstand and ask for campaign contributions.
