President Trump stated he would consider deporting Elon Musk in response to Musk's criticisms of the Republican tax and spending legislation.
Trump attributed Musk's opposition to the bill to the elimination of subsidies benefiting his various business ventures.
The feud between Trump and Musk escalated when Trump threatened to withdraw subsidies from Musk's companies and mentioned Musk could lose more than just the EV mandate.
Musk criticized the Republican legislation, calling it an 'insane spending bill' and expressing potential support for a third political party in the US.
