Trump has thrown down the gauntlet to Musk!
Former President Trump has publicly issued a stern statement, directly threatening Elon Musk: If you dare to spend money supporting Democratic candidates in future elections, the consequences will be 'very, very serious'!
These two are at each other's throats
The situation escalated because Trump feels that Musk has stabbed him in the back: Musk not only called a significant bill promoted by the Republican Party a 'disgusting atrocity', but even hinted that Trump should be impeached!
As soon as Musk made this statement, Trump instantly exploded, directly firing back with insults.
The most severe part is that Trump clearly stated: 'I'm not interested in reconciling with you right now!' And he laid out the harsh words upfront: As long as Musk dares to fund the Democrats, he can just wait and see!
Musk's fortune hangs in the balance
Why is this threat so weighty? Because Musk's wealth and businesses—Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink—are all relying on maintaining good relations with the U.S. government! Huge federal contracts, substantial government subsidies, various tax breaks... these are all areas where Trump could potentially take action!
It's frightening to think: Musk was originally a major donor for Trump's 2024 campaign, reportedly investing nearly $300 million! Now, this goodwill has evaporated, just because he recently came out against the Republican Party, putting himself in a precarious position.
What's next?
Currently, it appears that Musk is a bit intimidated. He has deleted some of his most extreme posts, suggesting that he may have some regrets—indicating that he may not want to completely burn bridges? Perhaps it can calm down for a while?
But Trump may not necessarily back down. He truly has the ability to take serious action: cutting contracts, reducing subsidies, directly shaking the foundation of Musk's entire business empire!
Now everyone is watching Musk: Will he respond publicly next? Or will he choose to stay silent and play dead? More importantly, how will this public showdown between these titans affect the 2026 midterm elections? There is more drama to come.
