In a recent NBC News interview, President Donald Trump expressed his discontent with Elon Musk's criticism of his budget plan, invoking threats of serious consequences should Musk financially support opposing Democratic candidates. Trump claims Musk's remarks are disrespectful to the presidency, asserting their relationship is over. The altercation stems from Musk's assertion that Republican lawmakers backing Trump's budget should be removed from office. Despite disagreements, Trump believes Musk’s criticisms may have inadvertently strengthened Republican unity around the budget.
If [Musk] does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that. I think it's a very bad thing, because he's very disrespectful.
Musk's insults have backfired as Republicans are now more united than ever behind the budget bill. I think Elon brought out the strengths of the bill.
