Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Donald Trump on Saturday said his relationship with his tech Elon Musk is over, warning that there would be serious consequences if Musk funds US Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the president\u2019s sweeping tax and spending bill.<\/p>\n

Trump, in a telephone interview with NBC News, however, declined to say what those consequences would be, adding that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk.<\/p>\n

When asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, \u201cI would assume so, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republican also said he had no desire to repair his relationship with Musk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no intention of speaking to him,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The second term US President, however, said he had not thought about terminating US government contracts with Musk\u2019s StarLink satellite internet or SpaceX rocket launch companies.<\/p>\n

Musk and Trump began exchanging insults last week, as Musk denounced Trump\u2019s bill as a \u201cdisgusting abomination\u201d.<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s opposition to the measure reportedly complicated efforts to pass the legislation in Congress, where Republicans hold only slim majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate.<\/p>\n

The bill was said to have narrowly passed the House last month and is now before the Senate, where Trump\u2019s fellow Republicans are considering making changes.<\/p>\n
