The US president has also suggested getting DOGE to investigate the billionaire, noting that he has received a lot of subsidies
US President Donald Trump has said that he might entertain the idea of deporting Elon Musk and could consider getting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to look into the billionaire's government contracts.
The president's comments come amid a very public falling out between him and Musk, who was until recently one of Trump's staunchest supporters. Last month, Musk stepped down as the head of DOGE after heavily criticizing Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill, which includes a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump was asked if he would look at deporting Elon Musk - a naturalized US citizen - to his native South Africa, to which the president replied: "I don't know, we'll have to take a look."
"We might have to put DOGE on Elon," the president added, noting that "DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon." Trump further pointed out that Musk had been getting a "lot of subsidies."
