President Donald Trump has hinted at deporting Elon Musk back to South Africa, where the billionaire was born, after the pair fell out.
The 79-year-old's comments came as he was departing the White House to attend the opening of 'Alligator Alcatraz,' which will become the largest migrant detention facility in the US.
While answering reporters questions about the Florida Everglades facility, the Republican was asked about his relationship with Musk, and whether he would consider deporting him as the world's richest man ramped up criticism of his 'big, beautiful bill'.
"We'll have to take a look," the POTUS replied.

"We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies."
As the 'big, beautiful bill' is debated in the US Capitol building, Musk took to Twitter to threaten those that voted in favor of his former pal's bill rue having done so.
"Anyone who campaigned on the PROMISE of REDUCING SPENDING, but continues to vote on the BIGGEST DEBT ceiling increase in HISTORY will see their face on this poster in the primary next year," he posted.
