President Donald Trump has threatened to launch a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) investigation into its former chief Elon Musk after Musk tore into Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and called for the creation of a third party.

“Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate,” Trump wrote Trump (sic) in the early hours of Tuesday morning. “It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one.”

He added: “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. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!”

Trump made the post just hours after Musk attacked the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill” and threw his support behind the creation of a third party to challenge the Republicans. “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” wrote Musk. “Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.”

1. The Porky Pig Party

Such problems are getting interesting.

[eppur_se_muova]

2. "Trump wrote Trump" ... is that a typo, or is it literally true ? He seems to be his own audience rather frequently.

BTW .... WHAT THE EVER-LOVING F*CK DOES MUSK KNOW ABOUT "ACTUALLY CARING ABOUT PEOPLE" ??

[BumRushDaShow]

3. They had a link under the "Trump wrote" part and probably forgot to delete the 2nd "Trump"

once they did the link. I added a "sic" in there.

[republianmushroom]

34. About the same as trump.

[kerouac2]

4. "When Narcicists Attack" tonight on the USA Channel

This was so predictable. These 2 raging narcissists are outta the honeymoon phase and are careening thru scorched earth boulevard.

[twodogsbarking]

5. The girls are fighting again.

[Ray Bruns]

11. Nerd fight!

[liberalgunwilltravel]

15. Nerds are smart

Trump is anything but.

[orleans]

56. cat fight

[niyad]

22. Please stop with the sexist memes.

[twodogsbarking]

25. I was quoting AOC. Peace.

8. I say do both - cancel Trump deal AND stop subsidies to Musk. We might really make some

headway on the national debt.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. and stop sendingg subsides to corps

[Johnny2X2X]

9. Mandate?

Repeating that lie again, there was never an EV mandate the way they talk about it. It was always just car companies setting goals for themselves.

[travelingthrulife]

10. What is this distraction for?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

14. I don't think Musk is part of the distraction

The bill, as written will greatly hurt his bottom line. Trump, as usual, is all bluster. But we will see. It could be yet another attempt to distract from just how terrible the Bill actually is.

[Wiz Imp]

30. I have a hard time believing the bill will hurt Musk's bottom line.

It doesn't touch his government contracts which were already inflated earlier this year. The tax cut will give Musk a HUGE bundle of extra money. So he loses some tax advantages for electric vehicles. Big deal. He's already destroyed Tesla's reputation and the company is sinking even without any impact of this bill.

[Cheezoholic]

16. Theater for the MAGAt's, straight out of the Jim McMahon playbook. Pure WWF wrestling BS his base oh so loves n/t

[Bluetus]

20. OK Elon. You get up on the ropes in the corner

then jump down on me. I'll flail around on the mat for 30 seconds like I have a broken back. You try to pin me, but at the last second, I'll jump up and throw you out of the ring. Then you hit me with a folding chair. Then I stumble over to the announcer's desk and take his microphone and start cursing at you.

Got it?

[róisín_dubh]

39. Vince McMahon?

I don’t think you mean the Bears quarterback 😂

[Justice matters.]

47. The failed "90 DEALS in 90 days" promise?

Only got 2 (so far) as everything the convicted idiot touches dies again.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

12. Don't just talk about it.

Do it! TACO! But remember, Musk has already accessed a lot of private data on every American, including you. Enjoy!

[Justice matters.]

48. Like he cares. Nothing really bad happens to the idiot.

And he knows it by now.

Only 'kumbaya' will.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. More like this comes to mind....Bull elephants going at it..

TACO Don: My tusks are BIGGER than your tusks!

Elon Musk: No they aren't!

TACO Don: They are so!

Elon Musk: Says who? Besides! I have more females in my crib than you do!

The imagination is running wild here.(Pun intended here.)

[Cheezoholic]

17. We'll see a cage match challenge soon. Really, we will. Its come to that sadly n/t

[DBoon]

29. I was thinking of old male gorillas "silverbacking"

[Marcuse]

31. There can be only one!

[VTderry]

36. THIS is the correct analogy.

Two small-brained creatures that share a desperate need to aquire insanely large amounts of shit.

[Marthe48]

40. Welcome to DU

[hamsterjill]

44. Highlander!!!!!

(I'm just a huge fan of the television series!!!)

[VTderry]

37. Don't drag the poor elephants into this!

Bad enough that a horrifying group of humans made them into a mascot. A single elephant probably has more intelligence and compassion than the entire GOP.

[DENVERPOPS]

45. In reality, and to be fair........

you should have also shown a photo of a whole group of donkeys kicking at each other.......This is getting insane........

[AllaN01Bear]

18. he only wanted musks money now he throws musk under the bus. when is your wivfe going to be deported , eh.

[chouchou]

21. Every single day. Every single day. Every single day, we at DU, hear..

... some exciting, irreplaceable knowledge comes out of a 79 year man with a 3 year old personality.
Strange enough, I'm actually starting to look forward to it.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

24. If fighting over control of the tree house with Eloon

diverts his attention from evil schemes against we citizens, I agree with you- bring on the drama!

[DENVERPOPS]

46. That is precisely what they want you to do

He has been a daily diversion for nearly a decade.......It is a smokescreen to hide all the covert shit they are doing with all the people distracted.
And They Know It, and use it extremely well......With the full support of the entire Republican Owned/Operated Media......

[chouchou]

51. What you say is very true.

I'm looking at hope with a reality that inside of me, I won't explode with all the disgusting psychological nightmares
that the Republicans, both rich and poor, will give up one day. Silly, innocent me.

[Hieronymus Phact]

23. It's a pity both sides can't lose.

-Kissinger

[no_hypocrisy]

26. FAFO on steroids!

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

[mitch96]

57. "Send the Billionaire 'Back Home to South Africa'"...I was waiting for this to happen. His "trump" card if you will..nt

[Wiz Imp]

27. Ridiculous. DOGE has no investigative authority.

Technically, they have no legal authority whatsoever but Republicans have acquiesced their authority to them.

[DavidDvorkin]

28. Musk would probably have to pay more in taxes in South Africa

The highest marginal tax rate in SA in 45%, although the wealthy use various tactics to pay far less, just as they do everywhere else. Still, I suspect he'd pay more there than he does here.

[xuplate]

32. Also deport Peter Thiel and Rupert Murdoch while you're at it.

[ShazzieB]

49. No point in deporting Rupert at this late date.

Lachlan doesn't need Rupert's help to make sure Fox News keeps sucking just as much as ever. He can do that without any help from dear old dad.

[-misanthroptimist]

33. Uh-huh

[MayReasonRule]

35. "Threaten" Us With A Good Time!!!

[Buddyzbuddy]

38. Oh Leon, money just doesn't buy what it used to, huh.

I'm so conflicted here, I hate you both, so much. I wish you both a horrible end. But, I think the one who currently controls the world is worse than the one that wants to control the world. It's so close but yeah, that's my final answer.

[Marthe48]

41. Someone deport felon!

skum, all the rwnj. Launch them into a black hole so the human race can get back to trying.

[Buddyzbuddy]

42. Hey, Leon, wanna get even really quickly?

Offer 3 or 4 Republican Reps. in blue states in weak districts a lucrative job that pays a million per.
Change the make up of Congress.

Just a thought.

[DENVERPOPS]

43. Hey BRDS

Off subject, but you are my authority on all these different political matters etc.

Where can I read about the path of a bill, etc. It goes from House. Senate, President who ever and then I need to understand the course, etc.
If a bill doesn't pass, if it does pass, if it is vetoed etc.

Thanks, I keep trying to get more and more educated even at my old age.....

[COL Mustard]

50. I'm in a somewhat awkward position

I really don’t care which one of them loses worst.

[Lovie777]

52. Do it.................

hopefully musk will release how the 2024 election was stolen.

[pwb]

53. The Working Family Party

already exists. Elon could promote that? It is already in place.

[LudwigPastorius]

54. "Here, look at this fight over here while we rob you blind and fuck your future."

I ain't falling' for it.

[liberaltrucker]

55. Musk should've been denaturalized and deported years ago
