Trump Hits Back at Elon Musk with Deportation Threat as Feud Escalates

Elon Musk intensified his verbal clash with Republican legislators on Monday, threatening to fund primary opponents of those endorsing President Donald Trump’s expansive spending legislation.“Any Congressional member who campaigned on cuts to government expenditure and then voted for the largest debt increase in history should be deeply embarrassed,” Musk wrote on X. “They will likely lose their primaries next year if I have anything to do with it.”This statement came just before the Senate’s vote on the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill,” which aims to elevate the federal debt ceiling by $5 trillion, potentially jeopardizing Medicare for millions. A previous iteration passed the House in May but requires another vote there prior to reaching Trump.Once a strong Trump supporter, Musk has shifted focus, targeting Republican lawmakers like Chip Roy and Andy Harris who backed this bill. He has criticized the bipartisan agreement, suggesting it damages both future industries and the economy at large.
