Trump Threatens to Launch DOGE Investigation Into Elon Musk, Send Billionaire 'Back Home to South Africa' [View all]

President Donald Trump has threatened to launch a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) investigation into its former chief Elon Musk after Musk tore into Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and called for the creation of a third party.

“Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate,” Trump wrote Trump (sic) in the early hours of Tuesday morning. “It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one.”

He added: “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. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!”

Trump made the post just hours after Musk attacked the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill” and threw his support behind the creation of a third party to challenge the Republicans. “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” wrote Musk. “Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.”
