Trump Urges Elon Musk to Return to South Africa Amid Tax Dispute
Former allies Donald Trump and Elon Musk are at odds over a tax bill, with Trump suggesting Musk should go back to his birth country. Musk criticizes the bill, claiming it will harm business prospects and lead to job losses. The legislation faces opposition from both parties.
The relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk is deteriorating once again. The disagreement started in early June over Trump's proposed bill and escalated as the legislation progressed through Congress. Musk criticized the bill, calling it 'utterly insane' and 'destructive,' warning of job losses and tax increases.
He expressed concerns about the bill's impact on various industries, including solar, wind, and nuclear. Musk also criticized the bill's effect on the national debt and called for a new political party. In response, Trump threatened to cut subsidies to Musk's companies and questioned their operations.
Despite their past association, Musk's opposition to the bill did not sway Republicans, and the legislation narrowly passed in Congress. The bill includes funding cuts to social programs and aims to finance Trump's immigration policies. It is expected to increase the national debt while providing tax cuts and other benefits to working-class Americans.
After a series of confrontations and disagreements, the bill now awaits approval from the House. Speaker Mike Johnson has cautioned against significant changes to the approved version.
