Independent: Trump says he will ‘take a look’ at deporting Musk as feud reaches new height

The world’s richest person has been criticizing Trump’s signature legislation as costing far too much

Donald Trump said he would “take a look” at deporting Elon Musk after his former ally renewed criticism of the tax and spending megabill on which the president has bet his legislative agenda.

As he departed the White House on Tuesday to visit an immigration detention facility in Florida, the president was asked if the Tesla billionaire – a naturalized American citizen originally from South Africa – could be forced out in retaliation for his attacks on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act under debate in the Senate.

“I don’t know,” he replied. “We’ll have to take a look.”

Trump also hinted he might turn the quasi-agency once run by Musk, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), on his former friend.

“We might have to put Doge on Elon,” he said. “You know what Doge is? Doge is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.”

Instead of governing equitably and fairly as a president should, King Donald is a small-minded coward who turns everything into a personal vendetta.

The US President’s fiery post came as Elon Musk renewed his criticism of Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful bill’ and promised to launch a new political outfit if it was passed.

Cat fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US President Donald Trump claimed that Elon Musk received “more subsidies than any human being in history” and without it, he might have to close shop and head back home to South Africa as the feud between the duo escalated over the tax bill.

Trump also suggested that DOGE, the cost-cutting department that the Tesla CEO headed, should have a look at Musk’s government subsidies and contracts. The US President’s fiery post came as Musk renewed his criticism of Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful bill’ and promised to launch a new political outfit if it was passed.

lt’s a dog-eat-dog (or perhaps DOGE-eat-DOGE) world!

Elon Musk on Wednesday suggested that President Donald Trump’s criticism of subsidies received by his companies was wrong, as he continued to mock supporters of the president’s signature spending bill, a day after the president said he’ll look into potentially deporting the Tesla CEO and threatened probes into his companies amid a reignited feud between the two.

I love a good cat fight, and when it’s two corrupt kleptocrats clawing at one another, that’s all the better!

Mediaite: Stephen Miller’s Wife Demanded Government Agency Lie to Cover Up a Bogus Elon Musk Fraud Claim: NY Times

Katie Miller — a top Trump administration aide who is married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller — ordered a government agency to lie in an effort to cover up a bogus claim by Elon Musk, according to a blockbuster New York Times report.

According to a piece Monday co-authored by Times reporters Alexandra Berzon, Nicholas Nehamas and Tara Siegel Bernard, employees at the Social Security Administration (SSA) were told to confirm Musk’s claim — made at a rally in March — that 40 percent of all calls to the agency’s service lines were scams.

“The number is 40 percent,” Katie Miller reportedly told the acting Social Security Administrator Leland Dudek in an April 1 call. “Do not contradict the president.”

Tariffs Claim First Major Victim as American Auto Giant Files for Bankruptcy

A major shock has hit the American auto industry. One of the country’s largest and most influential auto giants has filed for bankruptcy, catching workers, suppliers, and experts off guard. This comes after a series of steep new tariffs that have disrupted the cost and flow of car manufacturing and parts supply, putting even top companies at risk.

…

The company in question is Marelli, a global auto parts supplier to Stellantis, Nissan, and Tesla. Its bankruptcy is one of the first major losses under the new tariffs.

Marelli has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. and aims to restructure over $700 million in debt. To stay afloat during this difficult time, it relies on $1.1 billion in emergency funding to maintain its operations.

If Tesla is one of Marelli’s major customers, perhaps this should not be much of a surprise. As Tesla declines, Marelli should follow to some extent. It’s not just the tariffs.

Irish Star: ‘Repugnant’ Eric Trump slammed for using vile slur to describe LA protestors

Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, recently appeared on the Benny Show podcast. During the episode, he commented on the protesters from the “No Kings Day” demonstrations, which took place over the weekend alongside his father’s military birthday parade. He shamelessly described the Americans who took to the streets in protest of the Trump regime as “mongoloids.”

Jr. has no class and no clue, just like Daddy.

  • Elon Musk on Wednesday said he regretted some of the social media posts he made about U.S. President Donald Trump last week.
  • Musk and Trump had engaged in an explosive public feud over social media.
  • It was largely triggered by Musk’s opposition to the Trump-backed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” tax and spending bill.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday said he regretted some of the social media posts he made about U.S. President Donald Trump last week during an explosive public dispute with his former close ally.

…

A post in which Musk replied “yes” to a social media user calling for Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance also appeared to have been deleted.

In turn, Trump on Monday said he was planning to retain the Starlink technology, a satellite internet service that is part of Musk’s SpaceX, at the White House.

Are the cry babies getting along again?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Democrat from Massachusetts, on Tuesday released a report chronicling over 100 examples of “unethical or potentially corrupt actions” that either benefit billionaire Elon Musk or one of his companies and which took place while Musk played a key role in the Trump administration.

According to the report, the past few months have been very profitable for Musk, who officially departed the White House last week. “Since Election Day, Musk’s staggering net worth has increased by over $100 billion,” the report states.

Techdirt: Trump Administration Tells Supreme Court DOGE Can’t Be FOIAed

Posted on by

The destructive force that is DOGE still somehow manages to exist, despite it not being (depending on which claim is made and when) an official federal agency and/or overseen by anyone specifically identifiable as the head of DOGE.

Until recently, everyone — including Donald Trump — knew (and said as much in public) that DOGE was both a government agency and headed by Elon Musk. When the lawsuits started flying, the backtracking began by the administration, which apparently thought it could cover its tracks by walking backwards in its golf-cleated clown shows.

Trump’s love for DOGE has managed to undercut the protections DOGE hoped it would be able to avail itself of when the FOIA requests began pouring in and the discovery demands started hitting federal dockets.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk slammed the “legacy media” over the weekend, alleging hypocrisy in how news outlets covered Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.) recent arm gesture after he faced criticism for a similar gesture earlier this year.

Booker, while speaking at the California Democratic Convention on Saturday, placed his hand on his heart before extending his arm toward the crowd.

We know a Nazi salute when we see one. You thought you’d get away with it. You didn’t.

Suck it up, Bubba!
