Musk, Trump, and the Deportation Debate: What's Actually at Stake?
The Business Guardian
|July 03, 2025
The already turbulent relationship between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk appears to have escalated to new heights.
-
In a recent media interaction, Trump made veiled threats toward Musk, suggesting that the billionaire tech mogul might "lose a lot more" than just federal subsidies if he continues to challenge the administration's stance. The remarks have sparked widespread speculation and concern, with some wondering: could Donald Trump actually deport Elon Musk?
THE FEUD EXPLAINED
This latest chapter in the Trump-Musk saga began after Trump was questioned about Musk's role in receiving substantial government subsidies for his companies, particularly Tesla and SpaceX. In response, Trump said, "I don't know, we'll have to take a look," when asked directly if Musk could be deported. He followed it up with another provocative statement: "Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far. And without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa."
