Big, beautiful fallout: Donald Trump slams Elon Musk; says without subsidies he'll 'head back home to South Africa'

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday hit back at billionaire Elon Musk, saying that without subsidies from the American government, Musk would "probably head back home to South Africa.""Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate.

It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one.

Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!" Trump said in a post on Trush Social.This comes after Musk strongly criticised president Trump's "big, beautiful bill," calling it "political suicide for the Republican Party."
