Washington, D.C. – June 8, 2025 – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly declared the end of his relationship with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and warned him of dire consequences if he supports Democrats in upcoming elections.
In a sharp statement made during a phone interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, Trump said, “I believe my relationship with Musk is over. I’ve given him many chances—even in my first administration.” He emphasized that he is no longer interested in reconciliation, saying, “I’m too busy with other things. I won the election by a huge margin and I don’t have time for him anymore.”
Trump further escalated tensions by claiming he once “saved Musk’s life” during his first term, though he did not elaborate. He warned that if Musk helps Democrats in the 2026 midterms, he will have to “face the consequences.” Trump accused Musk of disrespecting the office of the president, stating, “You cannot show that kind of disregard for the presidency.”
The feud, which has been simmering for weeks, intensified after Musk criticized Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” proposal. In response, Trump expressed deep dissatisfaction with Musk’s performance and outlook. The two have since exchanged multiple public jabs, particularly on social media, where Musk has openly mocked and challenged Trump’s leadership.
What once seemed like a strong alliance—Musk donated over $300 million to Trump’s previous campaign—has now deteriorated into a high-stakes public standoff. Trump’s allies are also signaling discontent. A recent comment from the U.S. Vice President warned Musk that attacking Trump could be a costly mistake.
This feud comes as both figures remain influential in American politics and tech, making their rivalry a matter of national and global interest. With the 2026 midterms approaching, the clash between these two titans may reshape political allegiances and voter sentiments.
