'Big money to be saved!!!' Trump threatens Musk's businesses in overnight tirade

The latest iteration of the war between Donald Trump and Elon Musk boiled over again during the early hours of Tuesday when the president threatened to sic Musk creation DOGE on the billionaire's own government contracts.

With Musk attempting to undercut Trump's megabill — which has stalled out in the Senate — with a series of posts on his X account, the president returned fire on his X alternative, Truth Social.

Just after midnight, Trump put Musk on notice that he could be on the verge of taking a financial hit.

In his warning shot, he wrote, "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. 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 added, "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!!!"
