President Trump slammed Elon Musk's subsidies and Republican senators struck down a plan to shield artificial intelligence from state regulations, two middle-of-the-night developments Tuesday that reinforced a growing schism between Trump and Silicon Valley supporters over his "big, beautiful bill."

The first development came at 12:44 a.m. ET, when Trump responded to Tesla (TSLA) CEO Musk's ongoing critiques of the package with a focus on the government grants that Musk's companies receive.

"Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa," wrote the president in a Truth Social post, adding, "perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this?" It was a reference to the government efficiency group that Musk ran until recently.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to deport Musk.

1. Musk should have known better than to hitch his wagon to this asshole. Ultimate FO moment coming.

Anyone with any sense knows Rump ALWAYS eventually fucks over everyone who aligns with him.

I hope he tries to destroy Rump... would love to see them rip each other apart.

2. "Elon, go back to Africa"

That phrase has a whole new meaning.

3. Nothing better than the falling out of thieves.

4. Deporting him now would only be for spite,

The damage is already done with DOGE.

5. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to deport Musk.

Yeah, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Couldn't come up with a criticism if he did.

6. Is Trump going to end the white Afrikaner refugee program?

Maybe he'll stick it to Elon and stop bringing those folks into the US. Plenty of white liberal Afrikaners have said the claims of oppression are pure BS.

He can really stick it to Elon by ending his government contracts.
