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.

    The democrats are absolutely not good enough. Elon Musk is absolutely NOT GOOD ENOUGH. What an insane thing to say about a Nazi. THIS is why your country is where it is right now, not because of the people who refuse to side with nazis. It’s because of the enablers like you.

      It’s because of your purity tests that we got Trump in the first place.

        Voting for the lesser of two evils eventually gets you the greater evil due to apathy. Your vote feels lesser when your options are always shit vs shittier. We literally saw that happen yet democrats learned nothing. Especially when they constantly go after the shittier voting demographic

          Listen I’m not saying it shouldn’t be better. But I’d rather vote for a Musk funded Democrat than a Trumper. I would love to live in a reality where Citizens United never happened and money is banned from politics, but the way it stands I would vote for a literal steaming pile of horse shit if it was running against Trump and I’m not sorry about that.

        No, you guys got Trump by American liberals not doing anything of value to steer their country away from fascism for decades and then blaming literally everybody but themselves. Your do nothingness and trying to pretend it’s activism is just so tiring. Every time your democrats were in power you increased defence spending, increased US caused civilian deaths around the world, increased the US’s stranglehold on world politics, and then you try to shame people in countries that are affected by this for not liking you. It’s not a purity test from where the rest of the world stands, it’s just the fucking reality.

            Dude, America casts a huge shadow. We’ve spent the last seventy years fucking the rest of the world up, and now we’ve just got done ripping a meth pipe and telling ourselves how reasonable we’ve actually been this whole time. Other people are going to have opinions about our politics because we’re a loaded gun.

            Nah, when your country stops threatening to invade my country maybe that dumbass American bullshit of “YOURE NOT AMERICAN YOUR OPINION ON OUR ELECTIONS DOESNT MATTER” will fly, but until your countries politics stop strongly negatively effecting the rest of the world at such significant levels as they are currently then you can shut the fuck up with that rhetoric son, the rest of the world ain’t buying it.
