On June 7, local time, U.S. President Trump said that if Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk fund Democratic candidates who oppose the Republican budget, they will face "very serious consequences."
The two recently publicly clashed on social media over a Republican-led budget, and Trump said Musk "extremely disrespectful to the presidency." Previously, Musk posted a statement on social media platform X to criticize the large-scale tax and expenditure bill promoted by the US government and attacked Trump, and even forwarded content related to Geoffrey Epstein's old news and deleted it.
Trump responded that the allegations about Epstein were "old stories" and denied that he was associated with it.
In addition, Trump has threatened his right to cancel government contracts and subsidies for Musk's companies, although no action has been taken on this. He stressed that the Republican Party has unprecedented unity and is optimistic about the successful passage of the budget.
