In an interview with NBC News, the president also said he assumes his relationship with the tech billionaire is over following their recent falling out.

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.

    Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn’t like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.

    At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?

      We got here because Harris cared more about continuing the genocide than beating Trump. It’s Democrats’ fault for choosing to lose. He only got 49.9% of the vote, after all.

      So you’d better make sure Musk doesnt make Liz Cheney the next Democratic nominee or I’ll vote PSL again, because I’ll choose to die before I vote for fascism.
