NEW YORK, June 8 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that he has no intention of restoring relations with billionaire Elon Musk and their interaction is over, following their mutual attacks on social media.
In a phone interview with NBC News, the American president noted that he does not plan to talk to I. Musk anytime soon. “I’m too busy with other things,” he said.
Asked if he thought his relationship with the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX was over, Trump said, “I would assume so, yes,” accusing Musk of being “disrespectful.”
In the interview, D. Trump also threatened I. Musk with “serious consequences” if he decides to finance Democratic candidates who oppose the budget bill proposed by the Republicans /“big beautiful law”/.
“If he does this, he will have to pay for it,” the US president said, without revealing what the consequences would be.
The feud between Trump and Musk began with the “big, beautiful law.” In the days leading up to their public spat, Musk criticized the spending bill passed by the House of Representatives last month.
D. Trump said he does not believe that I. Musk’s opposition to the “big beautiful law” jeopardizes the bill’s chances of success. He noted that he is “very confident” that the bill will pass the Senate before July 4. -0-
