Trump Drops a Cosmic Bombshell: What Elon Musk Dare Not Do or Face ‘Very Serious Consequences’—Is This Feud Written in the Stars?

Added on June 8, 2025 inPolitics Cards

What do you get when you toss a former U.S. president and a tech billionaire into the same ring — under the cosmic glare of Mercury in retrograde, no less? A full-blown public shakedown, apparently. Donald Trump isn’t exactly keeping his cards close to his chest about Elon Musk these days. Once thick as thieves, these two have taken a sharp detour down a thorny road paved with political drama and tax bill spats. Musk’s outspoken criticism of Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” has set off fireworks that don’t seem like they’ll fizzle anytime soon. And honestly, with Trump threatening “serious consequences” if Musk so much as thinks about tipping his hat to the Democrats, it’s a spectacle you can’t help but watch unfold. It’s like watching two heavyweight champs slug it out — but the gloves are off, and the moon’s in a mischievous mood. Ready to dive into one of the juiciest feuds reshaping the tech and political worlds? LEARN MORE.

President Donald Trump is making his feelings towards Elon Musk very clear.

The duo, who were once close allies, are now at loggerheads following tech billionaire Musk‘s departure from the Trump administration.

Their fallout stems from Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ that includes more tax cuts for American citizens. Musk has since heavily criticised the legislation, which is currently on its way to the Senate having passed through the House of Republicans in recent days.

And it doesn’t look like the pair will be making up anytime soon. Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker in a phone interview that he has no plans to make up with Musk.

Asked specifically if he thought his relationship with the mega-billionaire chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX was over, Trump responded: “I would assume so, yeah.”

“I’m too busy doing other things,” Trump continued. “You know, I won an election in a landslide. I gave him [Musk] a lot of breaks, long before this happened, I gave him breaks in my first administration, and saved his life in my first administration, I have no intention of speaking to him.”

Now, Trump has threatened ‘serious consequences’ for Musk if he does this one thing: help fund future Democratic campaigns.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC, though he declined to share what those consequences would be. Musk’s businesses have many lucrative federal contracts.

The US President’s latest comments suggest Musk is moving from close ally to a potential new target for Trump, who has aggressively wielded the powers of his office to crack down on critics and punish perceived enemies.

As a major government contractor, Musk’s businesses could be particularly vulnerable to retribution. Trump has already threatened to cut Musk’s contracts, calling it an easy way to save money.

While Trump has been slating Musk, his vice president JD Vance has only had nice things to say about the tech mogul.

In an interview, Vance tried to downplay the feud. He said Musk was making a ‘huge mistake’ going after Trump, but called him an ’emotional guy’ who was becoming frustrated.

“I hope that eventually Elon comes back into the fold. Maybe that’s not possible now because he’s gone so nuclear,” Vance added.

Vance went on to call Musk an ‘incredible entrepreneur’ and said that Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which sought to cut US government spending and laid off or pushed out thousands of workers, was ‘really good’.
