Tech billionaire Elon Musk appeared to kiss the ring of President Donald Trump on Wednesday after he renewed his criticism against the president’s “big, beautiful bill” this week.

Elon Musk’s feud with President Donald Trump has reignited, with the tech billionaire threatening to launch a new political party and Trump suggesting Musk could be punished for his opposition.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump took aim at Musk for the subsidies his companies have received, particularly for electric vehicles. Trump said without them, Musk would "probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa." Trump had also said "we'll have to look" when asked if he would consider deporting Musk.
