Trump says Elon Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democratic candidates

  • President Donald Trump warned Elon Musk would face very serious consequences if he funded Democratic candidates running against Republicans supporting a GOP spending bill.
  • The warning followed a public feud earlier this week sparked by Musk’s criticism of the Republican-led “big, beautiful” $980 billion spending bill.
  • Trump accused Musk of disrespecting the presidency and said he has no plans to reconcile, stating, "I'm too busy doing other things."
  • Musk launched posts on X attacking Trump, including a now-deleted claim linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, while Trump responded on Truth Social and in an Oval Office statement.
  • Trump confirmed in a Saturday NBC interview he had not considered canceling Musk’s federal contracts despite Musk’s opposition to the bill and affirmed the broken relationship remains unrepaired.
