'Head back home to South Africa': Trump to Musk

Washington, July 1 (UNI) Following criticism by Tesla chief over sweeping tax-cut and spending bill, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that without government subsidies, US entrepreneur Elon Musk would be forced to "close up shop and head back home to South Africa".
"Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. 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," Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump further suggested that ending support for rocket launches, satellites and electric car production would save the United States "a fortune." He further suggested that the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), previously headed by Musk, "take a good, hard, look at this?"
