Elon Musk aired a piece of praise for Donald Trump despite the president threatening to arrest and deport him amid their ongoing feud.
Musk paused his criticism of the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’, which is Trump’s signature domestic policy plan, to hail him on his work on another matter.
The tech billionaire shared Trump’s Truth Social post from Tuesday evening stating that Israel agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, and remarked, ‘Credit where credit is due’.
Musk continued: ‘@realDonaldTrump has successfully resolved several serious conflicts around the world.’
Trump’s former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief commended him just hours after the president issued a stark warning to Musk for opposing his bill as it was up for approval in the Senate.
The president reiterated that Musk is upset about losing benefits for electric vehicles and that ‘he could lose a lot more than that’.
Asked if he would consider deporting Musk, who is a US citizen and South Africa native, Trump said, ‘We’ll have to take a look’.
‘We might have to put DOGE on Elon,’ Trump said.
‘You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies. Elon’s very upset that the EV mandate is going to be terminated.’
