Donald Trump warned Elon Musk he’ll pay “very serious consequences” should he decide to fund Democratic candidates to run against Republicans backing the US President’s tax legislation. Speaking to NBC News, President Trump declined to share what those consequences would look like, yet gave a firm “no” when asked if he had any desire to repair his relationship with Mr Musk.
Mr Trump added that he has “ no intention of speaking to him”, accusing the billionaire of being “disrespectful to the office of the President.” He told the news channel: “I think it’s a very bad thing, because he’s very disrespectful. You could not disrespect the office of the President.”
