Overview

• Elon Musk has vowed to form the America Party and fund primary challengers against Republican senators who support the One Big Beautiful Bill’s record $5 trillion debt increase and rollback of EV incentives.
• Donald Trump responded by accusing Musk of receiving massive federal support and warning he may revoke subsidies for Tesla, SpaceX and related ventures.
• The president signaled plans to revive the Department of Government Efficiency to investigate Musk’s companies, calling DOGE ‘the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.’
• Trump went further by suggesting he is reviewing whether to deport the South African-born CEO despite Musk’s U.S. citizenship.
• The intensifying feud highlights fractures within the Republican coalition over spending priorities, clean-energy policy and the influence of billionaire megadonors.
