In an unprecedented and explosive political move,Ā former President Donald TrumpĀ has announced thatĀ Elon Muskās U.S. citizenship is being revoked and that he is being officially expelled from the countryĀ ā citing ānational security concernsā and āun-American activitiesā linked to Muskās global business ventures and alleged foreign ties.

The announcement was made during a fiery press conference held in Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump declared:
āElon Musk has benefited from America, but heās no longer acting in Americaās best interests. Heās made too many deals with foreign powers, and weāre not going to tolerate that. As of today, his citizenship is revoked ā heās done here.ā
The declaration, which legal experts are already callingĀ constitutionally questionable, sent shockwaves through Washington, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley. But it wasĀ Muskās response just moments laterĀ that trulyĀ left the world stunned.
Ā Elon Musk Responds: āThen Iāll Build a New Nation⦠in Orbit.ā

Within the hour, Musk took to X (formerly Twitter), posting a single sentence that instantly went viral:
āIf Iām no longer a citizen of Earthās greatest nation, Iāll simply build a greater one ā off this Earth.ā
He then unveiled what insiders are callingĀ Project ExodusĀ ā a bold, already-in-progress initiative involving the construction of aĀ self-governing space colonyĀ using SpaceXās Starship technology. According to Musk, the first phase will involve establishing aĀ permanent orbital stationĀ that operates underĀ its own constitution, independent of any Earth-based government.
In a follow-up livestream, Musk declared:
āIf Iām banished from America, Iāll take American ideals ā innovation, liberty, and ambition ā into space. No border can contain an idea whose time has come.ā
Ā A New Kind of Nation?

Muskās team revealed early blueprints for a floating space habitat powered by solar arrays, AI-managed life systems, and full Starlink connectivity ā a structure capable of housing up toĀ 1,000 peopleĀ in low-Earth orbit within the next five years.
Citizenship applications for the āExodus Nationā are reportedlyĀ already open, with tens of thousands flooding the servers within minutes.
Ā Political Firestorm
The Trump announcement has triggered an avalanche of legal questions and political backlash, with critics calling the moveĀ āauthoritarian and legally impossibleā. Constitutional scholars argue that a naturalized U.S. citizen like MuskĀ cannot be stripped of citizenship without due process, and certainly not by a single executive order.
Even longtime Trump allies appeared stunned by the declaration, while Musk supporters ā including major CEOs, lawmakers, and celebrities ā have come out in full force.
āYou donāt exile a genius ā you empower him,ā said Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban.
āTrump may have just launched the first true space nation⦠accidentally.ā
