[Global Times Reporter: Jiang Ailing] The "verbal battle" between US President Trump and US entrepreneur Musk over the tax reform bill continues to escalate. Reuters reported that on July 1 local time, Trump again spoke out, saying that Musk's dissatisfaction stems from the fact that he lost support for electric vehicle policies in the "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill. Trump also warned the CEO of Tesla, "What is lost may be more than this."

As the conflict continues to escalate, when asked if it was possible to expel Musk, Trump responded on the same day, "I don't know, we need to observe further."
Previously, Musk frequently criticized this so-called "Big and Beautiful" bill on social media, calling it "disgusting." On June 30 local time, Musk again posted on the social platform, criticizing the Republican Party's "Big and Beautiful" bill, and even criticized the Republicans, implying that the Republicans were the "PORKY PIG PARTY." He also said it was time to establish a new party that truly cared about the people. On July 1 local time, Trump responded on the social platform, hinting that the Department of Government Efficiency might investigate the subsidies given to Musk's company to save federal government spending.
Trump wrote, "Elon may have received subsidies far more than any person in history. Without subsidies, Elon might have had to close down and return to South Africa. No rocket launches, satellites, or electric car production... Perhaps we should let the Department of Government Efficiency do a thorough investigation? This could save a lot of money!" Musk responded to this by saying, "I would say, cut it all. Do it now."
