In an interview with NBC News, the president also said he assumes his relationship with the tech billionaire is over following their recent falling out.

Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.

Trump also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.

      My fantasy is that Trump tries to have Elon killed/arrested but fails because he’s rich and has very good guards. So then Elon sends someone to kill Trump, which is successful. Then Elon dies from some drug complications right after. If we’re lucky, they both die after shitting their pants.

        In this scenario, I would like Thiel, Yarvin, Marjorly, and the rest of the fascist gang to die in a freak aeroplane crash.

        Bit of a FYI:

        We all shit our pants when we die. The sphincter muscles relax and well, shit happens.

        We also fart…a lot.

          I have discovered bodies in various stages of post mortem, from recent to rigor. Shitting of pants is not a given. And I was an EMT, not just a crazy person.

            Years ago, I read In Cold Blood, and the thing that scared one of the killers the most, was that when he was hanged, he’d shit his pants. He insisted on using the toilet before his execution.

            Not me. If they’re going to execute me, I’m going to hold it for a few days, and make my executioner’s deal with the ahftermath.

          But they said AFTER shitting their pants, so really we’re just hoping two drug-addled fuckheads very reasonably shit themselves before dying so there’s insult added to injury.
