US President Donald Trump is considering the possible deportation of entrepreneur Elon Musk following another heated exchange, according to Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent for the Daily Mail.
"I asked President Trump if he'd deport Elon Musk and he said he'd have to take a look at it," Goodin wrote.
Trump-Musk feud
The conflict between Trump and Musk escalated after the entrepreneur criticized the Republican tax and spending bill, calling it "debt slavery."
In response, Trump labeled the billionaire "crazy," while Musk accused the president of ingratitude, reminding him of his financial support during Trump's campaign. Eventually, the US president threatened to cut off federal funding to Musk's ventures, prompting the businessman to soften his tone and admit he had been too emotional.
The latest clash occurred today, July 1, when Musk once again criticized the bill. Trump responded by saying the billionaire receives "more subsidies than any human being in history" and would have to shut down his business and go "back home to South Africa" without them.
