Donald Trump says he may have to feed Elon Musk to the “monster” the Tesla CEO helped create. The president was speaking to reporters at the White House Tuesday when he was asked about his veiled threats to deport Musk following the South African tech tycoon’s renewed attacks against his spending proposals. “We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know, DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon,” Trump replied, referring to the cost-cutting initiative headed up by Musk until two months ago. The president added “Elon is very upset” because the White House plans to abandon Joe Biden’s push for more electric cars on the road, before rambling on about how apparently, nobody wants to drive them anyway. “I want to have maybe gasoline, maybe electric, maybe a hybrid, maybe someday a hydrogen car,” he said, swiftly adding a few parting thoughts on the danger of these non-existent vehicles. “The hydrogen cars, when they blow up, it’s serious,” Trump reflected. “They find you five blocks away. It’s not good.”
