I have been expecting Elon Musk to respond to Trump's threat to deport him. Surprisingly, Elon finally broke his silence with some kind words about the president:

Credit where credit is due," Musk wrote. "Donald Trump has successfully resolved several serious conflicts around the world."

Many people were surprised because they expected the world's richest man to attack the POTUS. The general view is that he is scared of being deported, so he has to play nice.

Under the United States Constitution, all citizens are protected by the 14th Amendment. No one (not even the president) has the power to easily strip a person of their US citizenship or deport them without good cause.

Meanwhile, Elon is a legal citizen of the United States (naturalized) and he is one of the most influential figures in the United States, from economics to politics. He also did not violate any US constitution, I wonder how Trump can deport Elon?

Always verify what Trump says, don't be naive and easily believe what Trump says because sometimes he doesn't know what he's talking about. Like he keeps asking to fire the Fed chairman, but he clearly doesn't have the authority to do so.

Trump has threatened to cut off government aid to Elon's companies, and Elon has not hesitated to say cut it all off immediately. I bet Trump would never dare do that.
