🚨 Cohen Says Trump Might Come After Elon Musk’s Billions

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, just dropped a bold claim on MSNBC: Trump could soon target Elon Musk’s money. Why? Because it bugs Trump that Musk is the richest guy on Earth.

Cohen says Trump used Musk before but now might try to claw back what Musk “got from the U.S.,” especially through EV tax breaks like Tesla’s $7,500 credit.

💥 What Trump Could Actually Do

Threatens to axe $22B in Tesla and SpaceX federal deals

Jokes that his agency, DOGE (yes, real), might “eat Elon” to save cashHints at IRS audits or canceling Musk’s subsidies

Even told Musk to “go back to South Africa” (Musk is a U.S. citizen)

⚖️ Is This Real or Just Trump Being Trump?

Trump could push agencies like the IRS or DOE to audit Tesla

Cutting active contracts isn’t easy—he’d needlegal grounds

But public shots at Musk show a shift from ally to target

👀 What to Watch

Any Tesla/SpaceX audits or delayed contracts

DOGE reports or new executive orders on “government waste”

Trump speeches with digs like “Elon must pay it back”

✅ Bottom Line

Cohen thinks Trump’s jealousy might turn into a full-on financial attack. Whether it’s real or just more political theater depends on what Trump does with DOGE, audits, and contracts. Either way, Elon should probably watch his back.
