The Trump-Musk War Is Gaining Momentum, the Consequences Could Be Disastrous ⚡️
Trump warned Musk on Saturday that he faces “very serious consequences” if he funds Democratic candidates following the pair’s epic public bust-up this week 🤯.
The warning, delivered in an interview with NBC News 📺 scheduled to broadcast on Sunday, follows days of feuding and threats after Musk called Republicans’ budget legislation an “abomination” 💥.
Trump told interviewer Kristen Welker that his relationship with the tech mogul was over and warned Musk against choosing to fund Democrats 💰 after spending close to $300m in support of Trump’s re-election last year.
The Trump-Musk feud shows the danger of handing the keys of power to one person 🔑.
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,”
Trump told NBC News.
“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,”
he added.
Trump was also asked whether he had any wish to repair his relationship with Musk.
“No,”
he said. Asked whether he thought their relationship was over, he said:
“I would assume so, yeah,”
and said he had no plans to speak with his erstwhile sidekick 🤔.
“I’m too busy doing other things,”
Trump said, adding:
“I have no intention of speaking to him.”
But he predicted that the spat had helped to unify the Republican party around him, saying the “party has never been united like this before. It’s never been. It’s actually more so than it was three days ago.” 💪
Musk’s opposition to the Republican budget bill, formally the “one big beautiful bill act” 💵, would not, he predicted, affect its passage through Congress.
The bill narrowly passed the House 🏛 and is now under consideration in the Senate.
However, some conservative Republicans share Musk’s concerns about the need for significant spending cuts and are considering making changes 🔄.
The bill extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and includes new spending for border security 🚧 and the military 🛡.
Republicans aimed to offset these costs with cuts to programmes such as Medicaid, food stamps 🥘 and green-energy tax credits 🌱.
Projections from the congressional budget office and independent analysts indicate that the bill would add between \$2.3tn and \$5tn to the deficit over the next 10 years 📉.
White House officials contend that the economic growth generated by tax cuts will offset the increased spending 💸.
Still, Trump told NBC he is “very confident” that the bill will pass the Senate before 4 July 🇺🇸.
“I think, actually, Elon brought out the strengths of the bill because people that weren’t as focused started focusing on it, and they see how good it is,”
Trump said.
“So in that sense, there was a big favor. But I think Elon, really, I think he’s gambling with dynamite, it’s a shame that he’s so depressed and so heartbroken.” 💥💔
