The billionaire and former close ally of Trump also threatened to form a new party, called The America Party, should the act pass. The “Big Beautiful Bill”, as Trump dubbed his proposed legislation, would notably see tax cuts made, axe environmental programs, and further finance his crackdown on immigration.

Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, on Tuesday, Trump warned that he would unleash a DOGE investigation into government subsidies for Elon Musk’s companies, among which is Tesla.

Without subsidies, “Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa”, the president claimed.
