Trump Threatens Elon Musk: 'Serious Consequences' Loom Over Democratic Funding

Trump Threatens Elon Musk with 'Serious Consequences' Over Democratic Funding On Saturday, former President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to tech mogul Elon Musk. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump stated that Musk would face "serious consequences" if he continued to financially support Democratic candidates running against Republicans. The threat underscores the escalating tension between the two high-profile figures. Trump's statement comes after a week of public disagreements between him and Musk. The exact nature of the "serious consequences" remains unclear, as Trump declined to elaborate during the interview. However, his strong words indicate a significant rift in their relationship. "If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that," Trump told NBC News. This statement demonstrates Trump's resolve to hold Musk accountable for his political actions. The video also highlights Musk's recent actions, including posts on X (formerly Twitter) that Trump viewed as disrespectful to the presidency. The ongoing conflict between these two powerful figures is likely to continue to dominate headlines in the coming days and weeks. The situation raises questions about the intersection of politics and technology, and the potential consequences of political endorsements in the digital age.
