President Donald Trump warned on Saturday that there would be "serious consequences" for Elon Musk if he were to fund Democratic candidates. The president made the remark during a phone interview with NBC News.

"If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that," Trump told NBC News. However, according to the outlet, Trump did not detail what the consequences would be.

The president also told the outlet that he has no interest in repairing his relationship with the Tesla founder and CEO. When asked if he thought his relationship with Musk was over, Trump reportedly told NBC News, "I would assume so, yeah."

Trump also apparently has "no intention" of speaking with Musk — which is what he told Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier.

Trump and Musk have been engaged in a heated feud that has rapidly escalated in a matter of days. The spat began when Musk criticized the Trump-backed "Big Beautiful Bill" after his time with the istration ended.

"I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk said in a Tuesday post on X. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."

This is not Africa where leaders can do anyhow.There are strong institutions to checkmate.

Musk contributes alot to America,

It's funny that Trump is on the defense!
Elon sure knows how to stir the hornet’s nest.
The world is watching as the movie series is playing out.

I have zero pity for Elon.. He's the one who pressured Trump to sanction South Africa.

I still don't understand why musk is in a hurry to pull down the same person he ed with everything a few months ago.

Could it be for personal gains?

Lol buh dem tell us there's freedom of association in Saner Clime and always telling us not like this shithoole..


When people they say last US election there was vote buying Dem change the English to donation...

A grim reminder that business men should not be in the forefront of politics like Elon was. Its better to pull strings from the shadows.

They both had big egos and it was a matter of when the bromance would end but nobody thought it would end this early

Tinubu and Wike one day.

This guy thrives on issuing treats anyhow

u think this is Nigeria where the so called big men and billionaires eat from the govt.
Elon is not Dangote or Otedola
he sponsored Trump(an opposition) openly and Biden and the democrat that were in power did nothing to him
let Dangote or any of the big men here openly or openly sponsor any candidate

STAGED

Deport the SA guy

2 clowns 🤡

One thing Elon companies have enjoyed over the years are tax subsidies from the government. A lots of tax exemption and those are the things or privileges Trump would take from him.
Tesla lost 150 billion dollars because of this war between them.

Kaa koolu for the both of una

Forget about whether or not this is Africa, Musk is fighting a president who is in his second term and does not need re-election...Trump did not get to his level in business by being a Mr nice guy.

If push comes to shove he will bend all the rules and mess Musk up real bad!

Two idiots

You are just deluded

Do you know how much in government contracts and subsidy Elon Musk enjoy? It's part of what Trump is threatening him with.

In Nigeria what Business men usually get is government contracts and patronization, how many times have we subsidize the business of a billionaire? And there's no country in the world that the government doesn't the businesses of their industrialists because they are the one that usually create development ,create Jobs and improve the economy even in China, Russia or anywherem

It's only in Nigeria you don't want government to help billionaires because they are not from your tribe and you are just jealous of them, you know how much Dangote pay in taxes every year ? Dangote is still the biggest employer in Nigeria and even west Africa.

He will sponsor any political parties that favours his interests/business.

Freedom of association and free speech in America is only when it aligns with their interests.
Russia has less censorship than America and we are freer on Nairaland than CNN, FOX, BBC which all closed down their comments sections, even YouTube deletes and hides comments that goes against official narratives.
Trump waa even banned on Facebook and Twitter at some points but they will accuse China of lack of Press freedom

Trump -Elon feud is not my business. Both of them should gatat.

Alright
