Is Elon Musk's multi-billion dollar empire crumbling?
Elon Musk 's renewed heckling of President Donald Trump 's big tax breaks and spending cuts bill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday, threatens to put billions of dollars of his government contracts in jeopardy if Trump retaliates. The rupture of their tenuous peace has resulted in a wobbling of the stock price of a market-moving company and led the president to muse about deporting Musk to his native South Africa. Elon Musk to be Deported? In a Frankenstein-style twist, as Musk volleyed fresh critiques about the cost of Trump's signature legislation, Trump mused on Tuesday about turning Musk's Department of Government Efficiency back on its creator. "DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon," Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a tour of a new immigration detention center in Florida, AP reported. Trump also suggested in an early morning social media post that if Musk lost his government contracts, he "would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa." Asked by a reporter later if he would deport Musk, Trump paused and said, "I don't know. We'll have to take a look." President Trump has said Musk is actually irritated by the legislation's dramatic rollback of the Biden-era green energy tax breaks for electric vehicles and related technologies. Musk has denied this, but the rollback could hurt Tesla's finances. Live Events '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,' Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social media network. Musk became a U.S. citizen in 2002, according to a biography of him by Walter Isaacson. It's unclear if Trump would take the extraordinary step of having the government explore the rare process of removing his citizenship, known as denaturalization, as per AP report. Worrying Times for Elon Musk The irony is that Musk's social media spat with Trump threatens his businesses from both sides. People won't buy his cars because of the memories of his friendship with Trump, and now that and his other businesses could get hurt because that friendship has soured. Musk's rocket and satellite company, SpaceX, is also in Trump's crosshairs. 'No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE,' Trump said in his post. 'BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!' SpaceX has received billions of federal dollars to help to send astronauts into space and other work for NASA, including a contract to send a team from the space agency to the moon next year. But the most immediate fallout of their feud was the tumbling stock in Tesla down 5 per cent in early afternoon trading Tuesday. Tesla stock's performance can have an outsize impact on the stock market index funds in which millions of Americans 401(k)s have invested their retirement savings. The electric vehicle maker is one of the Magnificent Seven, the group of companies that includes Apple and Google parent Alphabet and that account for about a third of the value of the S&P 500, as per AP report. FAQs Q1. Who is CEO of Tesla? A1. CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk. Q2. What are key indexes of US stock market? A2. Key indexes of US stock market are S&P 500, Dow Jones, Nasdaq.

US job openings unexpectedly rise in May, hiring falls
AP A "Help Wanted" sign is displayed at Illinois Air Team Test Station Saturday, June 21, 2025, in Lincolnshire, Ill. U.S. job openings unexpectedly increased in May, but a decline in hiring added to signs that the labor market had shifted into lower gear amid uncertainty over the Trump administration's tariffs on imports, with a 90-day pause on higher reciprocal duties drawing to an end. Job openings, a measure of labor demand, were up 374,000 to 7.769 million by the last day of May, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report, on Tuesday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 7.30 million vacancies. Hiring decreased by 112,000 to 5.503 million in May. Layoffs dropped 188,000 to 1.601 million. Economists say the lack of clarity on what happens after July 9, when the 90-day pause on President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs expires, had left businesses unable to make long-term plans. A 90-day temporary reduction in tariffs between the U.S. and China is due to end in mid-August. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday that trade partners could still face sharply higher tariffs next Wednesday, adding that any potential negotiating extensions will be up to Trump, who hinted that Japan may soon be notified of higher import duties. Data last week showed a surge in the number of people collecting unemployment checks to more than a 3-1/2-year high in mid-June. A survey from the Conference Board showed the share of consumers who viewed jobs as being "plentiful" dropped to the lowest level in more than four years in June. Economists polled by Reuters expect the government's closely watched employment report on Thursday to show the jobless rate increased to 4.3% in June from 4.2% in May. Nonfarm payrolls are forecast to rise by 110,000 jobs after advancing by 139,000 in May. The employment report is being published a day early because of the Independence Day holiday on Friday.
