Donald Trump has said that he will “take a look” at deporting Elon Musk after the billionaire reignited their ongoing feud over the US president’s tax and spending megabill. Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Tuesday (1 July), the US president was asked whether he would kick Mr Musk out of the country and back to South Africa.

Trump said the billionaire could lose a lot more than the electrical vehicle subsidies that would be eliminated if the measure becomes law.
