Donald Trump Threatens Elon Musk With

Donald Trump has warned Elon Musk of “serious consequences” if he supports Democratic campaigns, as tensions between the two escalate publicly. The fallout began after Musk criticized Trump’s signature legislation and accused the former president of being named in the unreleased Epstein files, claiming that’s why the files remain hidden. Musk posted on X suggesting Trump’s involvement with Epstein, stating, “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” and hinted more revelations will come.

Trump responded by saying he believes his relationship with Musk is over, noting he had previously helped Musk during his first administration. He also expressed no desire to reconnect. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the dispute “unfortunate,” saying Musk was simply upset the bill didn’t reflect his preferences. She noted Trump’s continued focus on passing significant legislation. Meanwhile, investor Bill Ackman urged both figures to reconcile for the country’s benefit, to which Musk agreed, saying, “You’re not wrong.”
