Donald Trump News / 'Shut up your shop and go back to South Africa', Trump threatens Musk

Donald Trump News: A heated argument has once again started between US President Donald Trump and billionaire businessman Elon Musk. This time the center of the controversy is Trump's proposed One Big, Beautiful Bill, against which Musk had made a sharp statement. In response, Trump has given a stern warning to Musk, which has further increased the tension between the two. This controversy has emerged at a time when voting is going on in the Senate regarding this bill.

Trump threatened Musk

Donald Trump targeted Musk and said, "Musk knew very well that I am against policies promoting electric vehicles. Not everyone can be forced to buy electric cars. Musk has probably received more subsidies than anyone in human history, but if these subsidies stop, he may have to close his shop and return to South Africa. Neither so many rockets will be launched, nor satellites will be made, nor will electric cars be produced. We will save a lot of money with this." Trump's statement came in response to Musk's statement in which he criticized One Big, Beautiful Bill.

Musk's counterattack

Opposing Trump's bill, Elon Musk posted on the social media platform X that if the bill is passed in the House, he would consider forming a new political party. Musk described the bill as harmful to the US economy and innovation. His remarks infuriated Trump, after which he targeted Musk.

Who is Elon Musk?

Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa. At the age of 17, in 1989, he moved from South Africa to Canada and later settled in the US. In the US, he founded companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company and expanded his business. Musk is one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the world today, credited with revolutionizing the field of electric vehicles and space research.

The ups and downs of Trump and Musk's relationship

Until some time ago, Elon Musk was considered a strong supporter of Donald Trump. After Trump became president again, he assigned Musk an important role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a department formed to cut government spending. However, due to differences, Musk left this position. Since then, the relationship between the two has soured. Musk even claimed that Trump could not have won the presidential election without his help. However, Musk later regretted his statement.

Background and future of the controversy

This latest controversy is about One Big, Beautiful Bill, which Trump is presenting as a major achievement of his government. Musk believes that this bill could be harmful to innovation and entrepreneurship, especially for his companies like Tesla and SpaceX, which are heavily dependent on government subsidies and contracts. On the other hand, Trump says that his policies are in the interest of American taxpayers and will reduce unnecessary expenses.
