According to reports from EFE, President Donald Trump issued a stern warning on Saturday to tech billionaire Elon Musk.
He cautioned that he could face “very serious consequences” should he support Democratic candidates.
The tension between the two moguls escalated swiftly after a public breakup on Thursday ended what was once a powerful political alliance.
Musk had previously been one of Trump’s strongest allies, even donating $250 million toward his re-election efforts.
Fiscal Megaproject Sparks the Rift Between Trump and Musk

The rift was triggered by Musk’s rejection of a new Republican fiscal megaproject championed by Trump.
Musk described the proposal as a “terrible abomination.”
The bill, which narrowly passed, is now making its way through the Senate before returning to the House of Representatives.
Trump, on the other hand, hailed it as “big and beautiful,” and claimed that Musk’s opposition had ironically boosted his popularity among supporters.
The Trump-Musk Relationship Unravels

“People who weren’t really focused on it started paying attention and saw how great it is,” said Trump in reference to the bill.
However, he did not hide his disappointment in the Tesla and SpaceX founder.
When asked whether his friendship with Musk was over, Trump replied: “I suppose so.”
He added: “I have no intention of making peace.”
Accusations Involving the Epstein List

For Trump, the businessman’s behavior is “very disrespectful” and “you can’t disrespect the presidency.”
Tensions reached a boiling point after Musk made explosive statements.
He suggested that Trump appears in the contact files of the late Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump dismissed the claim, calling it “old news,” and argued that Epstein’s own lawyers had cleared him of any involvement in the scandal.
Trump Hints at Retaliation
Trump also addressed the billion-dollar contracts that SpaceX holds with the federal government.
He hinted at the possibility of revoking them.
“I could do that, but I haven’t thought about it yet,” he said.
The threat carries weight, as SpaceX is currently leading critical space missions for NASA.
Final Blow: From Allies to Enemies
Trump even questioned Musk’s emotional state, saying:
“It’s a shame that Elon is so down and so heartbroken.”
Just days ago, the two men shared a seemingly close, even brotherly relationship.
They exchanged public praise and worked together on government projects, including the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency.
