US President Donald Trump said that the issue of the possible deportation of Elon Musk, born in South Africa, requires consideration. His words are quoted by the Bloomberg agency.

"I don't know. We need to look at it," said the head of the White House, responding to a related question.

Earlier, on June 28, Musk again sharply criticized the White House bill to cut government spending, speaking out against it before it was put to a procedural vote in the Senate.

Trump's statement came amid escalating disagreements between the president and the entrepreneur, which have recently become increasingly public.
