[Global Times report, reporter: Jiang Ailing] The "verbal battle" between US President Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk over the tax reform bill continues to escalate. Reuters reported that on July 1 local time, Trump again made statements, saying that Musk's dissatisfaction is because he lost support for electric vehicle policies in the "Big and Beautiful" tax and spending bill. Trump also warned the Tesla CEO, "He may lose more than that."

As the conflict escalates, when asked if it might be possible to expel Musk, Trump responded on the same day, "I don't know, we need to see more."
Previously, Musk repeatedly 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 "Big and Beautiful" bill, and also criticized the Republicans, subtly referring to them as "the PORKY PIG PARTY." He also said it's time to establish a new party that truly cares about the people. On July 1 local time, Trump responded on the social platform, hinting that the Department of Government Efficiency might investigate subsidies for Musk's company to save federal government spending.
Trump wrote, "Elon has 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 vehicle 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 say, cut it all. Do it now."
