Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.

Trump also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.

    So much this. So tired of hearing how the Democrats are not perfect. They are a human institution, so of course they are not perfect. Whole lot of people letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Do I think Democrats can be pushed to do better? Like virtually every other Democratic voter, hell yes, I think so.

    Do I think pretending both parties are virtually the same is some truly deep truth or even the least bit helpful? Not even a little bit. But I sure know that lots of people think “both sides” is a great shorthand to showing how insightful they think they are…sigh.
