The gloves are fully off now...
"Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. 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," he continued.
"No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!" Trump added.
The outburst came after Musk slammed Trump's bill as the "biggest debt increase in history" and vowed to help defeat anyone who votes for it even if it's the "last thing" he does. He also threatened to form a new political party if the bill is signed into law.
All of Musk's attacks were about the cost of the legislation but Trump is trying to characterize the feud as being solely about electric vehicle subsidies. He doesn't want to admit that the disastrous bill will skyrocket the debt because Republicans always pretend to care about "fiscal responsibility."
When Trump was asked outside the White House if he's going to deport Musk, a strategy that Steve Bannon has suggested, he said: "We'll have to take a look."
"We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know... You know what DOGE is?" said Trump. "DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies."
"But Elon's very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated and you know what, when you look at it, who wants— Not everybody wants an electric car," he continued.
"You know, he's upset that he's losing his EV mandate and except..." he went on. "You know he's very upset about things but he, you know, he could lose a lot more than that. I can tell you right now. Hey, Elon could lose a lot more than that."
In truth, there is no national electric vehicle mandate to be cut in the first place. As usual, Trump is either lying about the facts or simply ignorant of them.
While the bloated, ugly bill would dramatically raise the debt and slash tax credits for electrical vehicles, those are the least of our worries. More importantly, it guts Medicaid, needlessly balloons the Pentagon budget, cruelly targets migrants, solidifies tax cuts for the super rich, and cuts access to food stamps. And those disastrous elements are just the tip of the iceberg.
If this bill passes, the American people will be paying for it with their wallets and, in many cases, with their lives.
