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.
Intimidation much. But it’s fine.
I would have a very difficult time voting for someone who received funding from musk.
Any Dem funded by a Nazi won’t get my vote for sure.
You got a lot of angsty democrats responding here with basically “c’mon bro, please, bro, you don’t understand, if we don’t take the money to do the Hitler, then the Republicans will do it completely for free, please, bro, be reasonable!”
Fuck that. I’m normally a pretty practical person, but if the dude who’s directly financing neo-nazism parties around the world like a one man CIA starts dumping cash into the democrats, it’s because he means to turn them into the neo neo Nazis, and they will not be getting my vote. Will the country burn? Yeah, but it’s going to do that because the democrats think fundraising is more important than having literally any principles or strong policy positions at all, regardless of whether I vote for them or not.
Exactly. American liberals have lost their fucking minds already sticking up for this guy after what he’s been doing.
I would rather vote for someone who got spite funding by a nazi than to vote for an anti-America, nazi/terrorist. And that’s anyone supporting the current regime.
I would too, but I’d rather vote for people willing to tell them both to go fuck themselves
Vote for that person in the primary and hope he musk money person loses there.
But if they don’t, little choice after that.
Exactly, primaries are when you vote your conscience. General elections don’t benefit from anything but strategic voting.
And this is exactly why Trump won. Twice.
Do you have no principles? Like look what Musk has done. And you want democratic candidates in debt and aligned with him? He’s just going to continue what he started, he’s not going to do an about face.
We should be incriminating millionaires putting money into campaigns, not accepting them
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
Don’t accept money from Nazis.
Liberals will never admit that their lack of principals is a large part of why the USA is what it is right now.
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.
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.
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.
So it was fine when he did it for Republicans?
When is one of these fucking dipshits going to have the other killed?
My fantasy is that Trump tries to have Elon killed/arrested but fails because he’s rich and has very good guards. So then Elon sends someone to kill Trump, which is successful. Then Elon dies from some drug complications right after. If we’re lucky, they both die after shitting their pants.
There’s a lot of quick and seemingly painless deaths here!! Unacceptable.
Ok, here goes:
The overbloated satsuma sends in the gravy seals to kill him, however they only maim him leaving muskrat in excruciating pain…but alive.
For now.He escapes and goes in to exile somewhere (Moscow? Somewhere embarrassing.) but it doesn’t matter as he can’t leave his bed due to the searing pain etc etc.
muskrat realises he’s going to die a slow painful death so in turn takes a leaf out of putlers’ book and smuggles some polonium in to Fatboys big mac. Mr Chunky CheesePaint eats said poisoned big mac and starts to deteriorate nice and slowly, but painfully.
Now there are both slowly dying. They both have weeks or a few months at best to live. And even with pain meds they’ll both experience the horror of the agony, AND the knowledge that death is coming for them.
Not my finest work but the essence is that they both get taken out and endure the pain they so rightfully deserve.
Bit of a FYI:
We all shit our pants when we die. The sphincter muscles relax and well, shit happens.
We also fart…a lot.
Yes, I too saw that episode of South Park.
Can they shit their pants very publicly and in the most embarrassing way possible?
In this scenario, I would like Thiel, Yarvin, Marjorly, and the rest of the fascist gang to die in a freak aeroplane crash.
I think the democrats will face terrible consequences if Elon funds them.
They’ll happily take his money. That’s all they care about.
To any democrats paying attention: if you serve Elon, you don’t get my vote.
I’m sorry, I will not vote for any Democrat that takes money from a fucking Nazi.
Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn’t like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.
At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?
We got here because Harris cared more about continuing the genocide than beating Trump. It’s Democrats’ fault for choosing to lose. He only got 49.9% of the vote, after all.
So you’d better make sure Musk doesnt make Liz Cheney the next Democratic nominee or I’ll vote PSL again, because I’ll choose to die before I vote for fascism.
I’m in Australia so I don’t need to make sure of anything over there, but I wish you all the best.
Why are you even here?
America can’t be world police for 60 years and then be surprised when other countries have opinions
Well, yeah, the US did coup Australia’s government that one time.
What I mean is, why are you commenting on voting? You know basically nothing about it. For instance, did you know Trump only won 49.9% of the vote this time? And the Republicans are calling it a mandate!
Not voting for the Dems WAS voting for fascism in 2024.
Harris’s stance on Israel.was bad. You know who is much, much worse? The person assholes like you empowered by throwing away your vote. And yo7 do this all the fucking time.
If 1% of the Green Party voters in Florida in 2000 had voted for Gore, Bush would never have been President, and all the bullshit that’s resulted from that nightmare wouldn’t have happened, and the country wouldn’t have shifted to the right.
It’s never Democrats fault that they lose, it’s only the voters fault for not being loyal enough.
Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed.
How incredibly short sighted. Parroting the dumb shit the algorithms plastered everywhere. Don’t misunderstand, it was a choice between eating a turd sandwich and accepting fascism but you decided you’re too noble to eat shit so now we’ll all live in it.
If you would stop eating shit for even one election cycle the Uncommitted Movement would have been able to force the Democrats to break with Israel. Democrats love Israel, and genocide, but if they knew for sure that they could never win any elections by supporting Israel they’d stop doing it.
Presuming they actually want to win, of course.
But because voters keep eating shit the Democrats were assured they could ignore the Uncommitted Movement and still beat Trump. And then they lost. And now elections are probably over forever and we’ll have to do something else now, so this argument is pointless.
If it were a normal opposition candidate I’d agree, I’m completely fed up with Dem leadership and think they should all be removed. I’ll gladly vote for third party and am planning to vote for Working Families candidates wherever possible going forward. But this was the one time it really mattered more to just have anybody but the opposition in office. This wasn’t some theoretical would be dictator, he’d already showed his true colors on Jan 6th. The time to fight Dem leadership isn’t at such a high stakes election.
