US President Donald Trump made headlines after he threatened to deport billionaire Elon Musk, the former head of the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), during a visit to a Florida immigration detention center. Trump cited Musk’s opposition to a tax cut bill that would end support for electric vehicles as the reason for the potential deportation. The tense relationship between the two figures has been exacerbated by this latest development, with Trump warning that Musk could ‘lose a lot more’ than just his government position. As the world’s richest person and the founder of Tesla, Musk had previously been a major donor to Trump’s 2024 campaign, but the recent tax dispute has driven a wedge between the two. With Musk hinting at the creation of a new ‘America Party’ if the tax bill passes, the ongoing clash between the business mogul and the president has captured widespread attention.
