Washington – President Donald Trump threatened with SIC the government efficiency department in Elon Musk’s business, saying in a social publication of truth shortly after midnight that there was a “great money to save.”
“Elon can get more subsidy than any human being in history, with much, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close the store and return to South Africa,” Trump said in the position. “No more rocket launches, satellites or electric cars production, and our country would save a fortune.”
“Maybe we should make Dege take a good, hard, look at this?” The president added.
Neither Musk nor a spokesman for the Super Pac that created, América Pac, immediately responded to a request for comments. In the hours after Trump’s post, Musk published several graphics in X that represent a national climbing debt, which is currently in more than $ 36 billion, according to government data.
Trump’s publication marks the last explosion in the dispute between the president and the technology tycoon, who headed the government’s cost reduction efforts in Doge before leaving his special position of government employees in May. Public division is a strong fall in its previously linked relationship, which saw Musk spend at least one estimated of $ 250 million to help choose Trump.
Trump said when leaving the White House on Tuesday morning that Musk “can lose much more than” electric vehicle incentives.
“We could have to put Dog to Elon,” Trump said. He added that “Doge is the monster that could have to return and eat to Elon, wouldn’t it be terrible?”
In the days prior to Trump’s post, Musk repeatedly criticized the so -called “Big and beautiful bill”, which finally suggests that a new political party will be launched if the legislation is approved.
“If this crazy spending bill is approved, the America party will be formed the next day,” Musk wrote in a publication to X. “Our country needs an alternative to the Uniparty Democrat-Republican so that people really have a voice.”
In another publication, Musk said that legislators who vote for the bill “will lose their primaries next year if it is the last thing I do on this land.” In another publication, Musk shared a graph that represents Pinocchio in flames, with the word “liar” stamped on the image along with a message on the vote to increase the debt of the United States.
“Anyone who has campaigned in the promise to reduce spending, but continues to vote on the greatest increase in debt roof in history will see his face in this poster in primary school next year,” Musk said in the position.
Two of Musk, Spacex and Tesla companies have contracts from the United States government or benefit from subsidies, although it is not clear exactly how much benefits are worth. The Washington Post has reported that Musk’s businesses have received at least $ 38 billion in several benefits, credits and government contracts.
The market reaction to the last dispute was rapid since the merchants eliminated a 6% discount on Tesla’s actions before the opening bell on Tuesday. To date, the action has dropped by 21%, although it has been significantly recovered, together with the broader market, its spring minimums.
The secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, seemed to ignore Musk’s comments when he was asked on Tuesday in Fox News his reaction to the criticism of the technological tycoon to the bill and his threat of forming a new political party.
“I admire Elon’s leadership in the rockets. I will take care of finance,” Besent said.
Days after leaving its position from the White House, Musk was publicly downloaded to criticize the so -called “Big and beautiful bill”, criticizing it as a “draft law of expenses of the massive congress, outrageous and full of pork” which was an “unpleasant abomination”. Hatalized the projected impact of the bill on the federal deficit, arguing that “it would charge US citizens with an unsustainable unsustainable debt.”
Musk and Trump exchanged scathing letters on social networks in early June. Trump previously threatened to put an end to government contracts with Musk companies, saying during its June consequences that “the easiest way to save money” would be “to finish Elon’s subsidies and government contracts.”
Musk renewed the attacks against the bill backed by Trump last week, which arrived at a vulnerable moment for the Republicans of the Congress who try to send the bill to the president’s desktop by means of a self -imposed deadline on July 4. Republicans have thin margins in the Chamber and the Senate, and a handful of legislators have expressed discomfort with the impact of the bill on the deficit and medical.
The Senate continued to vote on the amendments to the bill overnight. The Chamber must approve the bill before going to Trump for its signature.
An analysis of the non -partisan Congress Budget office indicated that the Senate bill, if approved in its current form, would increase the national debt by $ 3.3 billion in the next 10 years. The CBO also estimated that during the same period, almost 12 million people would lose their health insurance in large part due to the medical cuts of the invoice.
