Trump Breaks Ties With Elon Musk, Warns Of ‘Serious Consequences’ If He Backs Democrats

Trump-Musk fallout: Days after his public fallout with former friend and aide Elon Musk, US President Donald Trump issued an ominous warning to the Tesla CEO, stating that Musk– the world’s richest man– would have to pay “serious consequences” if he funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in support of his sweeping budget bill, which he has dubbed as the “Big, Beautiful bill”.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that, He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that.” Trump told NBC in a phone interview on Saturday, but refused to specify the said ‘consequences’.

Donald Trump said he does not wish to repair his ties with Elon Musk, and asked whether his relations with Musk were over, he said, “I would assume so, yeah.” The US President said does not plan to speak to the SpaceX CEO anytime soon, stating he was “too busy doing other things”. “I have no intention of speaking to him,” he said.
