Trump says DOGE ‘might have to go back and eat' Elon Musk. Tesla CEO replies
US President Donald Trump escalated his feud with Elon Musk on Tuesday, warning that the government watchdog agency the world's richest man once led — the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — 'might have to go back and eat Elon.' The threat, issued both on Truth Social and in remarks at the White House, came after Musk ramped up his attacks on Trump's signature spending bill and vowed to unseat GOP lawmakers who voted for it. Trump, while departing the White House on Tuesday morning that Musk was 'very upset' because 'he's losing his EV mandate. Not everybody wants an electric car. I don't want an electric car.' Trump bought a Tesla in March. 🚨 President Trump on Elon Musk today: 'He is upset he is losing the EV mandate. He can lose a lot more than that.' — DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) July 1, 2025 'We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible?,' Trump said, adding, 'I don't think he should be playing that game with me.' When a reporter asked if Trump is considering deporting Musk, he responded that he didn't know but would 'take a look'. Earlier on Monday, Trump had made similar comment, saying Musk was attacking the bill because he was annoyed that it had dropped measures to support the electric vehicles (EV) industry. 'Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social handle. Trump also signalled that he could take aim at the huge contracts that Musk's SpaceX rocket and Starlink satellite internet businesses receive from the US government. Musk on Tuesday, once again weighed in on his growing feud with Trump. 'So tempting to escalate this. So, so tempting. But I will refrain for now,' Musk posted on X, responding to a video of Trump making the remarks. REPORTER: 'Are you going to deport Elon Musk?' TRUMP: 'We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.' — DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) July 1, 2025 Musk, once Trump's biggest political backer in the 2024 election, has dramatically shifted gears. After months as a close ally and head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has turned increasingly critical since stepping down from the role in May. Now, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO is threatening to use his immense wealth to oppose Trump, even floating the idea of launching a new political party aimed at challenging Republican lawmakers who support the president's marquee spending bill.

Feud restarted: Musk vs Trump full story in 5 points as Trump tells Musk to go back to South Africa
US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are no longer allies, and that is now very clear. A political clash over a tax-and-spending bill in the US has increasingly turned personal, and it's all playing out in public. Musk and Trump have been exchanging jabs over social media, with Trump asking Musk to 'go back to South Africa' in his latest remark as Musk has been fuming over Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill". Here's a breakdown of the feud in five key mocks Musk, tells DOGE to look at subsidiesOn June 30, Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on Elon Musk via his Truth Social platform, suggesting Musk owes his business success to government handouts. Trump wrote that Musk "may get more subsidy than any human being in history," and that without those subsidies, Musk would have to "head back home to South Africa."Trump even called for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk briefly headed, to 'take a good, hard look at this'. The jab was both a policy swipe and a personal insult. -Musk claps back: "CUT IT ALL. Now." Musk, who has supported Trump in the past, and had even donated over $250 million to his 2024 campaign, did not hold back. In response to the post, he wrote: 'I am literally saying CUT IT ALL. Now'. advertisementMusk has continued to blast the bill, calling it 'insane', 'destructive', and a 'disgusting abomination', and a 'debt slavery bill' that would worsen the national deficit by trillions. Musk also warned that the legislation would harm ordinary Americans and declared, 'Time for a new political party'. -The America Party threatElon Musk's reaction to the bill was not just about EV incentives. He threatened to form a new political movement if the bill passes. 'If this insane spending bill passes, the America Part will be formed the next day,' he posted. Criticising both major parties, Musk accused them of creating a 'one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!' and argued that Americans deserve a new political voice. -What's in Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill"At the heart of the clash between the two billionaires is Donald Trump's proposed economic package, which aims to boost defence, expand the US-Mexico border wall, and fund mass deportations. The bill also rolls black green-energy tax credits and EV subsidies, which are key to Tesla's business argues that the bill would increase the national debt by as much as $5 trillion over ten years. Trump, however, maintains that it is the largest spending cut in the history of the US, and will not affect Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. -The falloutMusk had previously led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory body meant to identify spending cuts. He resigned from the role in late May, just before launching his online then, Trump and Musk have drifted apart rapidly. Musk's public criticism appears to have struck a nerve, and the White House has responded by doubling down. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "This is one big, beautiful bill, and [Trump] is sticking to it."With the Senate aiming to pass the bill before July 4, and Musk pushing for an anti-establishment party of his own, the political landscape might just see a dramatic shift.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Paramount settles with Trump for $16 mn over 60 Minutes interview edits
Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by US President Donald Trump over the editing of a 2024 60 Minutes interview with then–Vice President Kamala Harris, in a case that has stirred debate over press freedom and editorial discretion. According to a report by the Associated Press, the settlement, reached through moderation, will not compensate Trump personally. Instead, the funds will go toward the development of his planned presidential library. The media company added that the agreement does not include any admission of liability or formal apology. Trump's sues CBS over Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview edits The lawsuit was filed by Trump last year, in which the US President claimed CBS News edited Harris' interview responses to make her appear more articulate, misrepresenting the exchange and distorting public perception in the run-up to the 2024 election. Trump's legal team also claimed the edits caused "mental anguish" for the president and unfairly diverted media attention from his campaign and his social platform, Truth Social. At the centre of the dispute was a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. CBS aired 21 seconds of Harris' answer on Face the Nation, and a different seven-second portion on 60 Minutes, leading to accusations of deceptive presentation. CBS News says edit was for time, not bias CBS News said the answers aired were taken from a longer response but said they were edited for time, not political bias. As part of the settlement, Paramount has agreed to release full transcripts of future interviews with presidential candidates, barring necessary redactions for legal or national security reasons. The timing of the deal comes as Paramount navigates a potential merger with Skydance Media, a transaction that is pending regulatory approval. Execs exit CBS over lawsuit settlement The agreement has also caused an upheaval inside CBS News. Two senior executives — CBS News President and CEO Wendy McMahon, and 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens — have stepped down, reportedly over their objections to the settlement terms. The Freedom of the Press Foundation has also condemned the settlement and indicated plans to legally challenge it. The group argues that the deal could set a dangerous precedent by eroding press freedom. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Trump's legal team called the settlement 'another win for the American people,' adding that CBS and Paramount 'had no choice but to settle', according to a report by the New York Times.
