Trump Warns Of ‘Serious Consequences’ If Elon Musk Funds Democrats
President Donald Trump warned on Saturday that there would be “serious consequences” for Elon Musk if he were to fund Democratic candidates. The president made the remark during a phone interview with NBC News.
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News. However, according to the outlet, Trump did not detail what the consequences would be.
The president also told the outlet that he has no interest in repairing his relationship with the Tesla founder and CEO. When asked if he thought his relationship with Musk was over, Trump reportedly told NBC News, “I would assume so, yeah.”
Trump also apparently has “no intention” of speaking with Musk — which is what he told Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier.
Trump and Musk have been engaged in a heated feud that has rapidly escalated in a matter of days. The spat began when Musk criticized the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill” after his time with the administration ended.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk said in a Tuesday post on X. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
