In a recent interview with NBC News, President Donald Trump issued a warning about billionaire Elon Musk potentially providing financial support to Democratic candidates opposing Republicans who support Trump's tax-cut legislation. Trump emphasized there would be 'serious consequences,' but did not specify what actions might follow.

Without elaborating on these potential consequences, Trump responded to inquiries about his personal rapport with Musk, saying, 'I would assume so, yeah,' when asked if their relationship was essentially finished.
