The following is a post made by President Trump on Truth Social on July 1, 2025 local time: 'Elon Musk knew I was strongly against promoting EVs long before he endorsed me for president. Opposition to EVs was a major part of my campaign,' 'Elon is the most heavily subsidized person in history. Without the subsidies, Elon would close shop and go back to South Africa,' '(Without subsidies) there would be no rocket launches, no satellites, no EV production, and our country would save a lot of money. I'd like to ask DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to look into this. We could save a lot of money!!!' He suggested that subsidies for Musk's related businesses would be terminated.



After posting the above, in response to a question from Fox News and other outlets asking 'Are you planning to deport Musk?', President Trump

replied , 'It's something to consider. We may need to throw DOGE at Elon. Do you know what DOGE is? It's a monster that's going to eat Elon up.' He indicated his intention to apply an investigation by DOGE, which Musk once led, to Musk himself.



In response to President Trump's series of remarks, Musk said, 'I'm tempted to escalate this, but I'm going to hold back for now.'




Musk has supported President Trump since before the 2024 presidential election, and during the election period he ran a large-scale campaign to support him, including a plan to donate $1 million to anyone who voted for him . President Trump also recognized Musk's contributions, and the two maintained a good relationship, introducing Musk as a 'new star' during his victory speech and placing him at the center of the government.

Musk then announced his withdrawal from the administration at the end of May 2025. At the time of the withdrawal announcement, he showed an attitude of defending the administration, such as expressing gratitude to President Trump, but in June 2025, he suddenly changed his stance and began to harshly criticize President Trump's policies. In response to Musk's criticism, President Trump posted on social media, 'He's gone crazy,' and the fierce exchange continues. It is believed that President Trump's recent remarks are also influenced by this conflict with Musk.

In addition, the platform 'Kalshi', which predicts real-world events and bets money, has a question: ' Will Elon Musk form a new party in 2025? ' The percentage of people who predicted 'a new party will be formed in 2025' had been in the single digits since mid-June 2025, but it rose sharply to around 40% immediately after President Trump's remarks.
