Trump says Elon Musk will face ‘serious consequences’ if he backs Democratic candidates

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Sure, Liester.

President Donald Trump told NBC News on Saturday that Elon Musk would see “serious consequences” if he backs Democratic candidates who challenge Republicans supporting the “big, beautiful bill.”

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News’ Kristen Welker in a phone interview.

“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he continued, without giving specifics on what that would look like.

Trump also said that he thinks his relationship with Musk is done after their public feud erupted this week.

“I gave him a lot of breaks, long before this happened, I gave him breaks in my first administration and saved his life in my first administration,” Trump said.

“I have no intention of speaking to him,” Trump added.

When asked whether he thinks his relationship with Musk is over, he said, “I would assume so.”

A private citizen has been threatened with facing "consequences" for exercising his right not to support a policy of the regime's? What consequences? What right does trump have to make such threats? Why aren't Repubs outraged by such behavior?

Cuz they are getting used to how an autocrat rules and they're okay with it.

I’m no fan of Elmo but this sets dangerous precedent

Yeah, Democrats will stab you in the back and knife you in the liver on a whim you have to be careful.

Independent Thinker, what is the OP about. Go away.

It's been amazing to watch the template being carried out, step by step. You can just point at each step and say, "yeah, look".

It's become clear to me that (a) so many Americans just don't give a shit one way or the other, and (b) our world history education has completely failed us.

When they got AP out of the White House and told the rest, if you want to stay you better behave. If you don't behave we will go after your finances or licence...

Next was the opposition... That Senator is just the logical next step...

There is no rock bottom with this crew, they will keep going... GOP moderates have complied or ostracised.

You're right, this is built on ignorance.

Musk got a lesson on dealing with a dictator. He is in charge, when you think you are in charge he will threaten you with falling out of favour... (i.e. removal of $9bn of US contracts). Musk has even got threatened if he changes his mind on his political support...
This is how it is done...
I say Musk wanted to pull back from politics but Trump has said, your money stays in OR you are out... This is why other Billionaires asked what was Musk doing last July. Did they know who he was dealing with?

One of the next steps is for MAGA is to keep control of Congress after midterms... This might mean cancelling media licences and domination of RW media, serious voter purges, buy off in certain areas,....

This will be a constant battle for a while... Trump never went away... Democrats have quite poor leadership

Yep. I'm looking at the 2026 elections as a possible turning point. Aside from the results, obviously, I'll be looking for access to voting and how many lawsuits are filed. The neofascist element has had a taste here, and they're not going to give it up. And they know they have their useful idiots to run interference.

Don't care for Musk, BUT he like every registered American voter,
Can vote for who ever they like.

 

[Kilroy2]

Elon knows where the bodies are buried so Trump should suck it up and don't piss off another rich guy who knows his secrets.

welcome to the dark side of politics, Senior Trump

You got to love it when two rich guys hate each other after being friends.

Exactly.

This shit is ******* dead.

As usual, the political LEFT never know what time it is.

 

[Kilroy2]

Trump sounds like a woman who broke up with her man
It will get nasty

grab a seat and don't forget the popcorn or the brewski

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

 

[Kilroy2]

Really Trump is going to threatened an American citizen because he is the president

Trumps' fear is driving him insane.

So what is he trying to hide and what does Musk know that he feeels threatened by.

Musk has taken Trump down

lets just hope that he doesn't run for president.

A Saber-Rattling Musk Promises a New Political Party if the G.O.P. Bill Passes​

The country’s biggest Republican donor called on Monday for the formation of a new political party and suggested he would back primary challengers against nearly every single Republican in Congress.

That was the saber-rattling declaration of Elon Musk, should Republicans on Capitol Hill pass President Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill.

While Mr. Musk’s words are often just that, he has dramatically escalated his anti-Republican rhetoric over the past few days. On Monday, he suggested that if the G.O.P. bill passed, he would swiftly form a new “America Party.”

“If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day,” he wrote in one of several Monday posts to his 220 million followers on X. “Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.”

Gee, sounds just like the prez is threatening retribution for Musk exercising his constitutional rights. I realize trump can do no wrong in your eyes, but it's wrong.

LOL. Well, did you already forget that the left were burning Teslas all over the country in retribution against Musk? Did you already forget that your own side sought retribution against Trump over the last eight years?
