Trump warns Elon Musk of 'serious consequences' for funding Democrats, escalating their feud over a controversial spending bill.
President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Elon Musk on Saturday, hinting at "serious consequences" should the billionaire entrepreneur financially back Democratic candidates. The remarks, made during a phone interview with NBC News, underscore a dramatic rift between the two high-profile figures.
Trump, without elaborating on the nature of these consequences, expressed disinterest in mending ties with the Tesla CEO. When pressed about the state of their relationship, he bluntly told NBC, "I would assume so, yeah," signaling an apparent end to their once-cordial alliance.
The feud ignited when Musk publicly lambasted a Trump-supported spending bill, dubbing it a "disgusting abomination" on X. His criticism didn’t stop there—Musk’s now-deleted posts escalated tensions, including one accusing Trump of ties to Jeffrey Epstein and another endorsing calls for Trump’s impeachment, with Vice President JD Vance suggested as a replacement.
Trump, in response, has doubled down. Speaking to Fox News’ Bret Baier, he declared Musk had "totally lost it" and insisted he has no plans to engage further. On Truth Social, Trump championed the controversial bill as "one of the Greatest Bills ever presented," claiming it sets America on a path to greatness.
This fallout marks a sharp turn from their earlier camaraderie, forged after Musk endorsed Trump following an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Musk’s role in leading the Trump administration’s DOGE initiative once seemed a symbol of their alignment, but recent events have unraveled that bond.

Looks like Trump and Musk’s bromance crashed faster than a Tesla on autopilot! Musk’s X posts went from spicy to scorched earth, but accusing Trump of Epstein ties? That’s like throwing a Molotov cocktail at a fireworks stand. Meanwhile, Trump’s waving his ‘Greatest Bill’ like a matador’s cape, daring Musk to charge. Wonder if JD Vance is polishing his VP crown, just in case.
