Trump-Musk Battle Restarts After Billionaire Bashes Tax Bill

Donald Trump threatened to withdraw government subsidies from Elon Musk’s companies and examine the billionaire’s immigration status after the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer ratcheted up his criticism of the president’s tax and spending bill.

President Trump said he could use the cost-cutting effort that Musk pitched during Trump’s campaign and led for months against the leader of Tesla and SpaceX, telling reporters on Tuesday the Department of Government Efficiency may review US funding for rocket launches, satellites and EVs, and that “not everyone wants an electric car.”
