Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.

Trump also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.

    Taking Musk’s money and influence to make the world a better place isn’t a problem.

    Letting him pick a direction for the party or make policies would be my red line.

      People don’t give money without expecting something in return. And these spineless democrats will 100% let him run circles around them if he promised to keep them in office.

      Those who side with nazis are no better than the nazis themselves.

        There’s so much wrong with your little thought terminating sentence there.

        Taking Musk’s money to get power isn’t siding with Nazis.

          The level of naivety you have to have to think people give campaign donations while expecting absolutely nothing in return is just crazy man. I don’t even know where this logic line could even be coming from.

            Start a party where you only accept donations from ideologically pure sources and see how far it gets you.

              You’re justifying taking donations from nazis right now, just so we’re clear. What would it take for you to actually draw a line?

                Just like I said a couple comments ago.

                  Yes but you disproved that almost immediately. So what I asked was what would it take for you to actually draw a line. It was more rhetorical than an actual question because we know now that you have no line that’s meaningful in any way bud.

                    Considering he hasn’t made policies for the DNC or picked a direction for them it seems you’re just arguing things you’re making up.
