U.S. President Donald Trump warned tech magnate Elon Musk this Saturday, with whom he had a complete falling out on Thursday, that he will face “very serious consequences” if he decides to support Democratic candidates who oppose Republicans who vote in favor of his mega-fiscal project.

“If he does, he will have to pay the consequences (…) He will have to pay very serious consequences if he does,” Trump declared in a telephone interview with the American network NBC without elaborating on the matter.

That bill, described by Musk as “a terrible abomination,” was approved by a narrow margin and is now in process in the Senate before being submitted to a vote again in the House of Representatives.

In this sense, he added that he believes that Elon Musk’s opposition to the bill, baptized by Trump himself as “great and beautiful” – which pursues significant tax cuts – has “highlighted his strengths”: “People who were not so focused on him began to pay attention to him and saw how good he is,” Trump continued.

Likewise, the American president responded “I suppose so” when asked if his relationship with the co-founder of Tesla had ended and added that he “no” has no intention of reconciling with the richest man in the world.

“I consider (what has happened) to be a very bad thing, because it is very disrespectful. You cannot disrespect the presidency,” he added.

Regarding Musk’s accusations against him claiming that the American president appeared on the famous list of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Trump indicated: “That’s called ‘old news’, that’s been talked about for years. Even Epstein’s lawyer said I had nothing to do with it. It’s a thing of the past.”
