Trump says Musk could face ‘serious consequences' if he backs Democrats
U.S. President Donald Trump is not backing off his battle with Elon Musk, saying Saturday that he has no desire to repair their relationship and warning that his former ally and campaign benefactor could face 'serious consequences' if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections. Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker in a phone interview that he has no plans to make up with Musk. Asked specifically if he thought his relationship with the mega-billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX is over, Trump responded, 'I would assume so, yeah.' 'I'm too busy doing other things,' Trump continued. 'You know, I won an election in a landslide. 'I gave him a lot of breaks, long before this happened, I gave him breaks in my first administration, and saved his life in my first administration, I have no intention of speaking to him.'

'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that,' Trump told NBC, though he declined to share what those consequences would be. Musk's businesses have many lucrative federal contracts. The president's latest comments suggest Musk is moving from close ally to a potential new target for Trump, who has aggressively wielded the powers of his office to crack down on critics and punish perceived enemies. As a major government contractor, Musk's businesses could be particularly vulnerable to retribution. Trump has already threatened to cut Musk's contracts, calling it an easy way to save money.

Musk appeared by Saturday morning to have deleted his posts about Epstein. Vice-President JD Vance in an interview tried to downplay the feud. He said Musk was making a 'huge mistake' going after Trump, but called him an 'emotional guy' getting frustrated. 'I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that's not possible now because he's gone so nuclear,' Vance said. Vance called Musk an 'incredible entrepreneur,' and said that Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to cut government spending and laid off or pushed out thousands of workers, was 'really good.'

During the interview, Von showed the vice president Musk's claim that Trump's administration hasn't released all the records related to Epstein because Trump is mentioned in them. Vance responded to that, saying, 'Absolutely not. Donald Trump didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein.' 'This stuff is just not helpful,' Vance said in response to another post shared by Musk calling for Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vance. 'It's totally insane. The president is doing a good job.' Vance also defended the bill that has drawn Musk's ire, and said its central goal was not to cut spending but to extend the 2017 tax cuts approved in Trump's first term. The bill would slash spending and taxes but also leave some 10.9 million more people without health insurance and spike deficits by $2.4 trillion over the decade, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. Story continues below advertisement 'It's a good bill,' Vance said. 'It's not a perfect bill.' The interview was taped in Nashville at a restaurant owned by musician Kid Rock, a Trump ally.

Why an Investment in This Index Can Be the Best Gift You Give New Grads This Year
May and June are graduation season, and if you haven't decided what to get for the new grad in your life, you may want to consider gifting them an investment. It may not be as flashy as a car or trip abroad, but that investment is likely to grow over time. In the process, it can not only underscore just how valuable investing can be but also how simple it can be as well. Beginners often believe successfully investing in the stock market must be a complex undertaking that requires years of experience and countless hours of research. But picking a good investment can be much easier than that. Tracking a broad market index such as the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is arguably the simplest way for anyone to get started, and your gift can put the new grad you know on the right path. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Why an investment in the S&P 500 makes sense for new grads The biggest advantage young investors have is time. The problem is that many students and young professional aren't thinking about saving for retirement. Even if they are, they're often financially unable to do so as they grapple with student debt, rent payments, and other adult responsibilities. Or worse, they're most interested in finding the next big growth stock or chasing meme stocks. Investing in the safe and dependable S&P 500 probably doesn't rank too highly in any of these scenarios. But with decades ahead of them, new grads will benefit immensely from the effects of compounding. The S&P 500 has grown an average of 10% per year in its history, enough to mint a sizable nest egg for patient investors (more on this below). And beyond this attractive rate of return, the index is made up of 500 of the largest U.S. companies with exposure to all of the major sectors, industries, and geographic markets. Here's how much your gift could grow over time Though I've been talking about the benefits of investing in the S&P 500, you can't just buy a piece of the index. Instead, you can invest in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks it and offers very similar returns. A popular option is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: SPY). This low-cost fund has an expense ratio of just 0.0945%, so for every $1,000 you have invested in the ETF, you lose less than $1 per year to management fees. When investing over the long term, high expense ratios can add up to hundreds and thousands of dollars. Over the past decade, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF has grown more than 180%. Including dividends, its total return climbs above 230%. Data by YCharts. That works out to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7% over the past 10 years, which is higher than the S&P 500's historical average. But taking a slightly more conservative approach and assuming the index and ETF will deliver a 10% annual return long term, here's how different sized gifts -- all invested in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF -- could grow for a new grad: Gift Amount 20 Years 30 Years 40 Years 50 Years $100 $673 $1,745 $4,526 $11,739 $200 $1,345 $3,490 $9,052 $23,478 $500 $3,364 $8,725 $22,630 $58,695 $1,000 $6,727 $17,449 $45,259 $117,391 $2,000 $13,455 $34,899 $90,519 $234,782 $3,000 $20,182 $52,348 $135,778 $352,173 Table and calculations by author. Your gift could become a five or even six-figure sum if its recipient is patient enough to let compounding do its magic. Though inflation will diminish the purchasing power of the estimates above, this is still a great example of how a simple investment in the stock market can become a major windfall for young grads, even if retirement planning is the last thing on their minds. Should you invest $1,000 in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust right now? Before you buy stock in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust wasn't one of them.
