The Tesla CEO is making a ‘huge mistake’ going after the US president, VP J.D. Vance says
US President Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC News on Saturday, said there would be “serious consequences” if billionaire Elon Musk funds Democratic Party candidates to run against Republicans who vote for Trump’s sweeping tax-cut bill.
Trump declined to say what those consequences would be in the phone interview and went on to add that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk.
Asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, “I would assume so, yeah.”
US Vice-President J.D. Vance had earlier said that Musk was making a “huge mistake” going after Trump in a storm of bitter and inflammatory social media posts after a falling-out between the two men.
