July 1 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on

Tuesday suggested his efficiency department should take a look

at cutting the subsidies that Tesla CEO Elon Musk's

companies have received to save the federal government money.

"Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history,

by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close

up shop and head back home to South Africa," Trump said on Truth

Social.

"No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car

Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we

should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO

BE SAVED!!"
