The public fight between former co-president Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump has escalated. While Elon is out there threatening to primary any Republican who voted for the GOP’s big, hideous bill, Trump has his sights on Rep. Thomas Massie for not supporting the bill. Elon said he’s donating to Massie’s reelection campaign. Massie easily won the 2024 GOP primary with 76% of the vote, but now Trump is targeting him with a vengeance because he dared to criticize his bill.
“Are you going to deport Elon Musk?” a reporter asked Trump.
“I don’t know,” Donald said. “I think we’ll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon, you know? You know what DOGE is?”
“DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon,” he continued. “Wouldn’t that be terrible?”
“He gets a lot of subsidies, Peter,” he said. “But Elon is 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.”
“I don’t want an electric car,” said the man who turned the White House lawn into a Tesla dealership. “I want to have maybe gasoline, maybe electric, maybe a hybrid, maybe someday a hydrogen.”
“If you have a hydrogen car, it has one problem,” he said. “It blows up, you know?”
This morning on Truth Social, Trump targeted Musk again.
