Donald Trump said he would ‘have to take a look’ at deporting ally turned bitter nemesis Elon Musk – 17 stunned and totally on-point responses
Everyone who said they would fall out at some point’s been proved right, but no-one knew quite how spectacularly Donald Trump and Elon Musk would go their separate ways.
Their bitterest of splits reached new levels today when Musk basically declared war on Trump and his ‘big beautiful bill’ by tweeting this.
It went down just as well with Trump as you’d imagine, who responded by saying he’d ‘do a DOGE’ on Musk and all his government subsidies.
Now Trump’s been asked if he was considering deporting Musk and if you think that was surely a step too far – even for Trump – you’d be wrong.
Reporter: Are you going to deport Elon Musk?
Trump: We’ll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies. pic.twitter.com/6I0OAIv7Js

The most unAmerican president ever. I hate Musk, yet I wouldn’t even threaten to strip him of his citizenship over a bill. Maybe if the whole world is telling you the bill is ass, it’s because it is
