The relationship between the US president and the richest man in the world seems to be broken. Now Trump Musk warns of help for the Democrats.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tech billionaire Elon Musk about “very serious consequences” after her public dusting if he was to support Democrats in the future. “If he does this, he has to pay the price for it,” the Republican Trump told the broadcaster NBC News in an interview that is to be broadcast on Sunday.

Trump threatened Musk with consequences that had not been explained in more detail if he supported democratic candidates to harm the Republicans who voted for the President’s tax and budgetary law.

The president had given up any reluctance to Musk’s criticism on Thursday and wrote that he “went crazy”. Musk then spread further posts on his platform X with violent attacks on Trump.

Among other things, Musk proposed on the X platform to found a new party in the middle. He also claimed that Trump had never won the presidential election without his support. Trump, on the other hand, also spoke of deleting orders and subsidies for Musks such as Tesla and SpaceX on his Truth platform in order to save billions of dollars. NBC News told Trump that he had the right to do that, but he hadn’t dealt with it.

Musk had financed Trump’s election campaign with more than $ 250 million and had become a confidante of the Republican. For Trump, he runs the Doge cost reduction committee by the end of May, with which he enforced massive cuts and job cancellations.
