A feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk exploded into public view again, as the US president took to Truth Social to attack the billionaire entrepreneur, telling him to “head back home to South Africa” and accusing him of surviving on government handouts.
The outburst followed a string of fiery posts by Musk on X (formerly Twitter), in which he condemned Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill, known among critics as the "big beautiful bill." Musk, who has clashed with Trump in recent weeks, accused politicians who backed the legislation of hypocrisy and pledged to help unseat them.
“Those who campaigned on cutting spending but voted for this should hang their heads in shame,” Musk wrote. “And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.”
He also threatened to launch a poster campaign featuring the faces of lawmakers who supported the bill, labelling them “liars” who voted to increase America’s debt by $5 trillion.
Trump fired back within hours in a pointed Truth Social post, stating: "Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate… 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.”

Gawd... STFU already!
Wowwwwww. So much for good cop, bad cop.
I’m not happy with this feud between two men I considered heroes.
Needless bickering. Stop already, Trump and Elon.
All ingrates who attack Elon now, after he did and personally sacrificed more than anyone to advance MAGA, should plan to NOT COMPLAIN in a few years at the size of the exponentially growing national debt. Just sayin’, folks.
So are leftist going to stop keying Teslas in parking lots, and instead line-up to buy new ones?
This conduct by Trump will turn away my support faster than you can imagine..... and I have been strong continuous supporter since 2016.
Those two mega-egos are a sight to behold.
What we do for attention.
still think its elon and trump playing chess while the idiots are playing checkers
There is quite a bit of evidence that Elon lied on his original residency papers and perhaps on his citizenship application as well.
He should have been deported decades ago.
But the laws don’t apply when you are the richest man in the world.
Why should he? Musk started it publicly, and has kept it going publicly. I voted for Donald Trump because he doesn't sit in a corner like a scolded puppy when someone attacks him or his policies. I wouldn't have voted for him three times if was a wuss.
Part of me thinks this is all fake to help Elons business since it took a hit.
Maybe we need a “replacement Trump”? … Barron???
Elon started criticizing President Trump again and Trump is a counter puncher every single time.
Both are right. The BBB should reduce spending in all agencies that DOGE found fraud. And the BBB should also get rid of EV and solar and wind credits / mandates.
Is Musk an ingrate when he initiates an attack against Trump?
Is Musk above criticism?
Just asking.
Oh, bullschiff
This is awesome.
Elon distances himself to build his businesses.
Trump distaaces to assume untainted power.
Simple. Easy.
