Trump Warns Elon Musk: “There Will Be Consequences” If He Supports Democrats
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sent a strong message to tech billionaire Elon Musk, warning him not to support Democratic candidates in the upcoming elections. In a recent TV interview, Trump said Musk could face “serious consequences” if he decides to help Democrats.
This warning shows how much the relationship between Trump and Musk has changed. They were once friendly, but now things have turned bitter. Trump said he has no plans to fix the relationship and that he’s done with Musk.
The conflict started when Musk criticized a new government spending plan supported by Trump. The bill includes large amounts of money for defense and other areas, but it also increases the national debt by over $2 trillion. Musk called the bill “disgusting” and said it was a big mistake.
Musk also posted a few angry messages online, including one where he said Trump should be impeached. He later deleted those posts, but the damage to their relationship was already done.
Trump’s warning didn’t give specific details, but experts believe he might try to block government contracts or funding for Musk’s companies like Tesla, SpaceX, or Starlink if Musk backs the Democratic party.
Musk’s businesses work closely with the U.S. government, especially on space missions and internet services, so losing that support could hurt his companies.
As this public fight grows, people on both sides are paying attention. Trump’s supporters are standing with him, while some Democrats may now try to bring Musk to their side. However, many still see Musk as unpredictable when it comes to politics.
In the end, this fight is about more than just two powerful men. It’s a sign of how politics and big business are deeply connected—and how quickly alliances can fall apart when money and power are on the line.
