President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that his administration “will have to take a look” when deporting Elon Musk after the billionaire revived the dispute with the president for his bill of expenses.
Musk, a South African citizen and naturalized American citizen, made several X -weekend posts that criticize Republicans for the “great project of beautiful law”, arguing that he was adding more debt.
“It is obvious with the crazy expense of this bill, which increases the debt roof for a record of five billion dollars that we live in a single party country: the Porky pig party!” Musk published on Monday afternoon.

Trump retreated with a real social position at dawn on Tuesday alleging that the CEO of Tesla, Musk, was upset by the mandate of the bill that eliminates the mandate of the electric vehicle (EV) and that “Elon would have to close the store and return to South Africa.”
When journalists asked later in the morning if he deported Musk, Trump said: “We will have to take a look.”
“We could have to put Doge in Elon,” he said, referring to the Government’s efficiency department that Musk previously led as a special government employee.
Musk published his response to Trump’s comments on Tuesday morning in X.

“So tempting to climb this. So so tempting. But I will refrain for now,” Musk wrote.
When ABC News asked him about Musk’s criticism, the president reiterated that it was EV’s mandate.
“I should have known that I wouldn’t do that, I couldn’t do that. I campaigned for those things for two years. I never understand why he did what he did, but he will not get his mandate, and it is better that he be careful, because he could not get anything else. You know what that means, right?” said.
