Their public spat began in June when the former allies clashed on social media, leading to Musk threatening to fund opposition campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump has retaliated by targeting electric vehicle subsidies benefiting Tesla and hinting at cutting all government ties with Musk\u2019s companies. The latest threat emerged when Trump told Fox News, \u201cWe\u2019ll have to take a look,\u201d regarding potential deportation, joking about \u201cputting DOGE on Elon\u201d \u2013 a cryptic reference to reducing subsidies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk responded cryptically on X: \u201cSo tempting to escalate this\u2026 But I will refrain for now.\u201d Investors urged caution, fearing market repercussions if the conflict intensifies. The billionaire\u2019s companies, including SpaceX\u2019s NASA contracts, could face significant disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legally, deporting Musk appears unlikely. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2002 after entering on a student visa. Experts note citizenship can only be revoked for fraud \u2013 something never alleged against Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Trump\u2019s administration has shown willingness to push legal boundaries. A former White House official even suggested seizing Musk\u2019s companies alongside deportation. The president\u2019s \u201cDOGE\u201d comments imply plans to slash Tesla\u2019s government benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standoff highlights Musk\u2019s precarious position despite his wealth and influence. While immediate deportation seems improbable, Trump\u2019s threats could still damage Musk\u2019s business interests and political aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As tensions simmer, the tech mogul faces difficult choices \u2013 either escalate the conflict or seek reconciliation. The outcome could reshape both the electric vehicle industry and U.S. tech policy for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has escalated dramatically, with the president now floating the idea of deporting the Tesla CEO.
