Why is Donald Trump considering deporting Tesla CEO Elon Musk? Here's the feud explained

US President Donald Trump has threatened to deport Tesla CEO Elon Musk after the billionaire criticized Trump's tax cuts and spending bill. Trump suggested reviewing subsidies given to Musk by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to save money.

Trump's comments came after Musk criticized Trump's proposed bill. Trump hinted at deporting Musk and putting 'DOGE on Elon', which could impact Tesla and SpaceX.

Following Trump's threat, Musk responded that he would refrain from escalating the situation for now.

The tension between Trump and Musk has escalated over the spending and tax bill. Musk opposes the bill due to its impact on national debt and has threatened to support those challenging lawmakers who vote for it.

Trump has threatened to withdraw subsidies from Musk's companies, claiming Musk receives significant subsidies and suggesting Musk might have to return to South Africa without them.

Musk, a US citizen since 2002, cannot be deported by Trump unless his citizenship is revoked through 'denaturalisation' if obtained fraudulently.
