Trump vs Musk: President warns Tesla CEO of 'very serious consequences' if he backs Democrats
US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Elon Musk, threatening "serious consequences" if the tech billionaire chooses to support Democratic candidates in retaliation against Republicans who back the GOP's budget bill. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking to NBC News in a telephonic interview on Saturday, Trump did not clarify what those consequences might be, but said, 'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that,' adding, 'very serious consequences.' The confrontation came after a dramatic rift between the president and Musk, who was once one of Trump's most prominent financial backers. Musk contributed more than $250 million to Trump's 2024 campaign efforts and briefly served as head of the department of government efficiency during Trump's term, where he oversaw extensive cuts across federal departments. But in recent days, the relationship has unravelled in public view. The fallout began with Musk criticising the House-passed 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' on his social platform X, arguing the GOP spending plan was unsustainable and would trigger an economic downturn. Responding to Musk's criticism on Thursday he said, 'I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill. I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.' Musk retaliated with a series of posts, many of them now deleted, including one calling for Trump's impeachment and another reviving long-discussed allegations about Trump's links to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. 'That's called 'old news,'' Trump said on Saturday, dismissing the resurfaced claims. 'Even Epstein's lawyer said I had nothing to do with it.' Asked whether he planned to repair his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Trump said curtly, 'No,' and confirmed that he believed their relationship was effectively over, 'I would assume so, yeah.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Trump added that he had 'no intention' of speaking with Musk again. 'I'm too busy doing other things,' he said. He also accused Musk of being 'disrespectful to the office of the President,' stating, 'You could not disrespect the office of the President.' Despite calls from conservative allies like Steve Bannon for federal scrutiny into Musk's business dealings, Trump said he hadn't discussed any such action. 'It's not something that's on top of my mind right now,' he said. However, in a Truth Social post earlier this week, Trump did hint at possible retaliation, writing, 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.' 'I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' Despite the public feud, Trump struck an upbeat note about the GOP's budget bill, expressing confidence it would pass the Senate by July 4. 'The Republican Party has never been united like this before,' he said. 'Actually, more so than it was three days ago.'

Donald Trump Says Relationship With Elon Musk Over: 'He'll Pay The Consequences If...'
Last Updated: When asked whether he hoped to mend his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Donald Trump replied bluntly, 'No.' US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Elon Musk, saying there would be 'very serious consequences" if the tech billionaire follows through on threats to fund Democratic candidates running against Republicans who support the GOP's massive budget legislation. 'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences," Donald Trump told NBC News, without specifying what those consequences might be, adding, 'He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that." When asked whether he hoped to mend his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Donald Trump replied bluntly, 'No." Asked if the relationship was over, the US President added, 'I would assume so, yeah," while emphasizing he had 'no intention" of speaking with Musk. 'I'm too busy doing other things," he said. Donald Trump also accused Elon Musk of disrespecting the presidency, following posts by the billionaire, including one (later deleted) linking the US President to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 'You could not disrespect the office of the President," Donald Trump said, dismissing the post as 'old news" and pointing out that even Epstein's lawyer had cleared him. Elon Musk, who has expressed frustration with the GOP's $2.2 trillion 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act," ramped up his attacks, warning that the bill would worsen the national deficit and even promoting a call for Trump's impeachment.

He even suggested that the Elon Musk feud had inadvertently boosted the bill's visibility, saying, 'People that weren't as focused started focusing on it, and they see how good it is."
