00:00It's a beautiful bill. It's tax cuts, regulation cuts and many other things.
00:09He's losing his EV mandate and he's very upset about things, but you know, he could lose a lot more than that, I can tell you right now.
00:18As the Senate passes President Donald Trump's huge 3.3 trillion dollars, big beautiful bill, a dramatic side battle is playing out between Trump and Elon Musk.
00:41Once allies, the two are now publicly clashing and it is getting personal.
00:48After a few weeks of staying quiet, Musk came back strong, spending the last 24 hours posting non-stop on X, slamming the bill.
01:00His main issue, the bill's massive spending.
01:04Musk warned Republicans, if you support Trump's bill after talking tough on spending, he will fund your opponents in the primaries.
01:13He even said he would plaster their faces on Pinocchio posters.
01:18Then he dropped another bombshell.
01:21If the bill passes, he might start a new political party called the America Party.
01:27It is not clear if he is serious, but he kept posting about it through the night.
01:33Trump did not hold back.
01:36He fired off a post on Truth Social saying,
01:39Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history.
01:44Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.
01:51That one line, back home to South Africa, sparked a storm online.
01:56Was Trump threatening to deport Musk?
01:59What happened to Elon Musk?
02:02Nothing.
02:02He's upset that he's losing his EV mandate.
02:07He's very upset about things, but he could lose a lot more than that.
02:12I can tell you right now.
02:14Elon can lose a lot more than that.
02:17The question is, can Musk be deported?
02:20Musk became a US citizen in 2002.
02:25Deporting him would require proof that he lied during his citizenship process.
02:30And there is no sign of that.
02:33So, Trump's post is more of a jab than a real threat.
02:37On the surface, this is about the bill.
02:40Trump's proposal includes big tax cuts and spending on border security and infrastructure.
02:47But it is also projected to add $2 trillion to the national debt.
02:53That is what Musk says he is worried about.
02:56He has been talking more and more about the dangers of government spending.
03:00His idea to start a new party shows he is thinking beyond just this one fight.
03:06Maybe even trying to reshape the political landscape.
03:10But let's be honest.
03:12This also feels like a show.
03:14Trump has often used public feuds to dominate the news cycle and fire up his base.
03:21And Musk, he is no stranger to going viral.
03:24Their fight is grabbing attention.
03:27And that may be the whole point.
03:30On X, both hashtag deport Musk and hashtag Musk stays were trending.
03:36Showing just how divided the public is.
03:40If the bill passes, Trump may ease up and move on.
03:43If not, and Musk keeps up the pressure, things could get even messier.
03:50He might pour money into campaigns or even push forward with his new party idea.
03:55For now, the deportation talk is just noise.
03:59Nothing's actually happening on that front.
04:01Trump vs. Musk isn't just about a bill.
04:06It's a battle for attention, influence and control.
04:10Whether this is a serious policy fight or just political theatre, one thing is for sure.
