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. Timeline: Inside The Evolving Relationship Between Trump And Musk From First Term To This Week's Fallout 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. Read On The Fox News App "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." Jd Vance Says It Was A 'Huge Mistake' For Musk To Go After Trump With Epstein Accusation Musk later had two explosive posts on X, both of which are now deleted. In one, Musk accused Trump of being in files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Then, he agreed with a post calling for Trump's impeachment and suggested that Vice President JD Vance take charge. In one of his posts criticizing the bill, Musk argued that the bill "more than defeats all the cost savings achieved by the DOGE team at great personal cost and risk." On Friday, Trump spoke with Baier and told him that "Elon's totally lost it." That same day Trump posted on Truth Social that Musk should have turned on him "months ago." "I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. "This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Musk endorsed Trump after the then-candidate was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pa., during a campaign rally. The two seemed to become fast friends, with Musk eventually agreeing to join the Trump administration and lead article source: Trump warns of 'serious consequences' if Elon Musk funds Democrats

Trump says Elon Musk will face 'serious consequences' if he backs Democratic candidates
President Donald Trump told NBC News on Saturday that Elon Musk would see "serious consequences" if he backs Democratic candidates who challenge Republicans supporting the "big, beautiful bill." "If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that," Trump told NBC News' Kristen Welker in a phone interview. "He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that," he continued, without giving specifics on what that would look like. Trump also said that he thinks his relationship with Musk is done after their public feud erupted this week. "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," Trump said. "I have no intention of speaking to him," Trump added. When asked whether he thinks his relationship with Musk is over, he said, "I would assume so." Trump also accused Musk of being "disrespectful to the office of the president." Trump's remarks are among his most extensive public comments yet on his feud with Musk, and the latest sign that the president is not interested in mending his relationship with the onetime ally. Musk has been a vocal critic of the Trump-backed spending bill that moved through the House last month. Earlier this week, Musk called the spending bill a "disgusting abomination" that will lead to exploding federal budget deficits. "In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people," he wrote in a separate X post. Musk's criticism of the spending package — which is now being considered in the Senate — is in part what spurred the clash between the two men. Trump told NBC News that he is still "very confident" that the bill will be passed by July 4, and that he doesn't think Musk could derail the bill. "If you look at the Republicans, we've never been more unified," Trump told NBC News. "The bill is fantastic."

Sellers Beware: New Data Suggests Home Prices Have Hit a Brick Wall
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Home prices set records again in March, but the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller's U.S. National Home Price Index and other recent data suggest buyers are putting on the brakes in key regions, with early signs of a housing downturn. Meanwhile, Bankrate reported Florida Gold Coast is getting hit especially hard, while the post-pandemic pullback from Austin, Texas is picking up steam. Signs are growing other regions will follow but who knows how low prices can go before attracting today's young buyers. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Invest Where It Hurts — And Help Millions Heal: Case-Shiller reported that annual home-price growth nationwide rose by 3.4% in March, lower than February's 3.9% and January's 4.8%. Just-released Redfin data offers several reasons why the bullish housing tide may be turning. According to Redfin, nearly $700 billion worth of unsold housing inventory is sitting on U.S. real estate listings, 20.3% higher than a year earlier, and an all-time high. It stood at $309 billion in January 2022. Homes listed for 60 or more days comprise nearly half of this backlog. It's also taking longer for sellers to find buyers, up five days year-over-year to 40 days in April. At the same time, housing supply has reached a five-year high. Not surprisingly, Redfin agents report that, in much of the country, "would-be buyers are backing off due to record-high monthly housing costs and widespread economic instability." Monthly housing payments rose to a record $2,882 during the four weeks ended May 18. Sellers will be forced to lower their asking prices if this stalemate continues, potentially recharging the rapidly slowing pace of home sales. However, this may have a snowball effect, further lowering property values across vulnerable regions, and potentially nationwide. It can also have a major impact on the national economy, as homeowners recalculate personal wealth, perhaps negatively impacting consumer consumption. Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to . "Stale inventory" refers to unsold homes listed for 60 days or more. This category hit an all-time high at $372 billion in November and dropped to $331 billion in April. Sounds like improvement but May was the natural peak of the selling season and stale inventory may be ticking higher once again. Redfin has taken note and, along with other data points, now forecasts a 1% drop in home prices by year's end. Of course, regional variations may be much wider. Summing up, home prices are still rising but red flags are growing, with nearly 500,000 more home sellers than buyers in the June housing market. "A huge pop of listings hit the market at the start of spring, and there weren't enough buyers to go around," says Redfin agent Matt Purdy. "House hunters are only buying if they absolutely have to, and even serious buyers are backing out of contracts more than they used to." More importantly for those considering home ownership, the slowly turning tide could soon accelerate into a full-blown buyer's market, according to Purdy. "Buyers have a window to get a deal; there's still a surplus of inventory on the market, with sellers facing reality and willing to negotiate prices down", he said.
