Trump: Musk Faces 'Serious Consequences' If He Backs Dems Over Budget Bill

Donald Trump and Elon Musk

US President Donald Trump said billionaire Elon Musk would face “serious consequences” if he threw his support behind Democrats running against Republican backers of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.

Trump issued the threat in a phone interview with NBC on Saturday, where he also noted he has no intention of speaking to Musk after their public falling out. The president said he “would assume” the relationship between the two is over.

“I’m too busy doing other things,” he told NBC.
