The feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk is still on the front-burner — with Trump saying he will “take a look” at whether the U.S. will deport the South African-born tech billionaire.

US President Donald Trump threatened to look into deporting Elon Musk and cut off the billions of dollars in subsidies that Musk's companies receive from the federal government while talking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
