✅ ❌ No, we couldn't find enough information regarding this on authoritative news outlets. However, here's what we found:
1. https://time.com/7300082/trump-denaturalization-deportation-musk-mamdani-us-citizenship-history-legal-explainer/ – (Trust Score 9/10)
According to TIME, President Trump did say, when asked, that he would "take a look" at deporting Elon Musk in response to Musk's criticisms of policy. However, legal experts cited in the article state that deporting U.S. citizens is unconstitutional, and the discussion is framed as a hypothetical, legal, and political controversy, not an actual policy action. The article explores the history and legal limits of denaturalization and deportation of citizens, clarifying that such actions are not supported by current law.
2. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pGFsKZOzjrs – (Trust Score 8/10)
This YouTube video (from the official YouTube Shorts channel) briefly reports Trump's statement about potentially looking into deporting Elon Musk, highlighting the public exchange but offering no deeper analysis or evidence of serious legal or political action.

The Economic Times, an Indian business newspaper, reports a similar exchange, quoting Trump as responding to a question on the possibility of deporting Musk with vague, provocative language ("take a look"). Again, there is no indication of any formal process, legal pathway, or credible plan to deport Elon Musk.
Summary:
No authoritative U.S. news outlet reports any real-world process, executive order, or legal action to deport Elon Musk. The exchanges are framed by TIME and others as hypothetical, politically charged statements by Trump, not as actionable policy. Legal experts and constitutional scholars unambiguously state that deporting U.S. citizens is unconstitutional, and there is no recent precedent or credible legal mechanism for such an action. The Economic Times and YouTube report the provocative rhetoric, but do not suggest any actual steps toward deportation. There is no evidence from major Western news outlets that this is anything more than political posturing.
