The feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump seems to have gone from boiling over the weekend, but does not rule out the possibility that the heat will reappear. In a Conversation with NBC NewsTrump said he now has no interest in doing -well with Musk, but made it clear that if the billionaire decides to change the parties and return the Democratic candidates, “he will have to pay for consequences.”
Trump, Trump, did not explain what potential retaliation actions could be, he only told NBC that they will be “very serious consequences”. Of course, it is not difficult to imagine the levers that Trump could throw. Has already done threatened To cancel the billions of dollars of government contracts that Musk companies currently have, and their close ally and former advisor, Steve Bannon, lively Trump to investigate Musk as an “illegal alien”, deporting him and take control of their companies By virtue of the Defense Production Law. Therefore, it has some ideas to work.
Trump’s threat of action against Musk is definitely a line drawn to the sand, but the president has not really increased the beef since Musk launched the kitchen sink. In a series of now-labeled publications, Musk stated that Trump appears in Epstein files and has been retaining information to protect and support the idea of provoking the president to whom he is spent about $ 300 million trying to enter the post. Musk demolished these places, but has remained critical of Trump.
Trump rebuilt the attacks in his conversation with NBC, calling “Old News” of the Epstein angle and had “nothing to do with” Epstein. “It is called” Old News “, which has been an old news, which has been spoken for years,” he said.
In addition, Trump has basically decided to wash -at least for the moment. When asked if his relationship with Spacex and Tesla’s CEO is over, Trump told nbc“I would assume yes, yes.” He also reiterated that he has no intention of talking directly with Musk and said, “I’m too busy doing other things” and “I have no intention of talking to him.”
This is still quite soft for a guy who is certainly able to be a bomb pitcher, but Trump may have the feeling that he will get better at the eviction -after Musk left the handle. A Yougov Survey He found that among the Republicans, 71% would stand in comparison with 6% who said they would launch their support behind Musk. Even if you expand the survey sample to include Democrats and independents, Trump presents 28% of support compared to only 8% for Musk (although, above all, 52% said “either”, so that the demographic “a varicel in both houses” is strong).
Politico reported On Sunday that the assistants representing both parties have spoken and there is something of mutual truce at the moment to stop the launch of the bomb, although he said that neither Musk nor Trump wanted to stop. It seems that at this time they are blocked in a retaining battle, which is not exactly a skill that either of them is known to have. We will see who first breaks the truce.
