President Donald Trump told NBC News that he believes his relationship with Elon Musk is irreparable after their clash this week. "I would assume so," Trump said when asked if the pair's relationship is over.

US President Donald Trump threatened his former advisor Elon Musk with "serious consequences" Saturday if the tech billionaire seeks to punish Republicans who vote for a controversial spending bill. Some lawmakers who were against the bill had called on Musk -- one of the Republican Party's biggest financial backers in last year's presidential election -- to fund primary challenges against Republicans who voted for the legislation.

US President Donald Trump said in an NBC interview his relationship with Musk is likely over and warned of "serious consequences" if Musk funds Democrats opposing the GOP's tax-cut and spending bill.
