U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with NBC News on Saturday, said there would be “serious consequences” if billionaire Elon Musk funds Democratic Party candidates to run against Republicans who vote for Trump’s sweeping tax-cut bill.

Trump declined to say what those consequences would be in the phone interview, and went on to add that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk.

Asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, “I would assume so, yeah.”

        If they’re taking money and orders from Elon Musk yes. That’s what I’m saying. I said it a number of times even.

              And you’re worth talking to? You’re fine with handing a vote to a Republican based on nothing other than where the funding for the Democrat’s campaign came from.

              As I pointed out above, the US is a two-party system. You pick one or you pick the other. You’re picking the Republicans. Good luck with that.

                There is and will never be any clean way to take money from Nazis. We call those people who do Nazis. If you don’t have any morals about saying no to Nazis that’s your choice some of us do. There’s no political election where you should choose between two Nazis. Never. There is no political calculation that makes it okay ever. Cuz again they are Nazis. That’s what you’re endorsing. You’re saying choose the lesser of two Nazis (hint no such thing). There’s the line of the sand enjoy being on the wrong side.

                  And so Musk can instantly and trivially get you to drop your support for any Democrat he wants to. He decides who you vote for.

                  You’re saying choose the lesser of two Nazis.

                  When you have only two choices, then yes choose the lesser Nazi. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here. You think it’s appropriate to chose the greater Nazi?

                    We already talked about this before but I guess you missed it so I’ll say it again. They choose to take the money. If they’re not Nazis they would say no I’m not taking Elon Musk money he’s a Nazi. If they take it then they’re Nazis so no he’s not making the choice they are. I’m believing them when they tell me they’re a Nazi.

                    Also since you cut it out of your quote there I’ll say again, there’s no such thing as the Lesser Nazi. There’s just Nazis. You’re arguing for voting for Nazis. Literally you’ve done it multiple times now. I won’t do that. I don’t care that you think there are good Nazis out there I don’t fucking believe that. The only good Nazi is a Dead Nazi.
