The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has received more US government subsidies \u201cthan any human being in history,\u201d the president claimed<\/strong><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has suggested that Elon Musk should be investigated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which the tech billionaire formerly headed, for allegedly benefiting excessively from government subsidies.<\/p>\n

Musk, a former ally of Trump, stepped down as the head of DOGE last month amid disagreements with the president over his so-called \u201cbig, beautiful\u201d<\/em> budget bill, which includes a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has repeatedly criticized the legislation, saying it undermined his work with DOGE to cut federal spending.<\/p>\n

The tech billionaire attacked the bill and its supporters again on Tuesday as the US Senate began voting on the amendments to Trump\u2019s 940-page proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame,\u201d<\/em> Musk wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,\u201d<\/em> he warned.<\/p>\n

The entrepreneur also reiterated his call for a new \u201cAmerica Party\u201d<\/em> to be formed to serve as \u201can alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump, who claims that the actual reason for Musk\u2019s anger was not the \u201cbig, beautiful bill,\u201d<\/em> but his plans to roll back the government\u2019s electric vehicle (EV) subsidies, fired back at the Tesla and SpaceX CEO shortly afterwards in a post on his Truth Social platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cElon 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,\u201d<\/em> he wrote.<\/p>\n

Without the assistance from the government to Musk\u2019s companies, there would be \u201cno 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!!!\u201d<\/em> Trump insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cElon 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.
