Elon Musk’s escalating feud with US President Donald Trump now threatens billions in federal contracts and intensifies regulatory scrutiny across Musk’s sprawling business empire — including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and X.

President Donald Trump said he will 'have to take a look' at deporting Elon Musk to his native South Africa as their fight reached new heights.

Sales at Elon Musk’s Tesla have fallen to a three-year low amid the billionaire’s public spat with Donald Trump. The electric carmaker said customer deliveries fell by 13.5pc in the second quarter of the year, a period in which Mr Musk left his role in the White House and publicly fell out with the US president over his tax and spending bill.
