Donald Trump Threatens Elon Musk With ‘Very Serious Consequences’ If He Does One Thing
Donald Trump has warned Elon Musk of “very serious consequences” if the billionaire supports Democratic campaigns, escalating their public feud. The rift began when Musk criticized Trump’s policies, then claimed Trump’s name appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed files—alleging this as the reason they remain unpublished. Trump dismissed Musk, stating he “saved his life” during his first administration but now has “no intention of speaking to him.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the clash an “unfortunate episode,” noting Musk previously praised Trump’s policies. Billionaire Bill Ackman urged reconciliation, tweeting, “We are much stronger together,” to which Musk replied, “You’re not wrong.” The conflict highlights growing tensions between two of America’s most influential figures amid political and personal disputes.
