Trump Takes Aim at Musk, Threatening "Hefty Repercussions" over Tax Bill Fuss

Trump issues Musk a warning of potential severe repercussions in their ongoing disagreement regarding tax legislation. - Trump issues warning to Musk about potential severe repercussions in ongoing tax law disagreement

Here's the lowdown:

• The self-proclaimed "Dude'" Trump has honeydipped Musk as being "unwarranted" and "disrespectful," but failed to expound on the precise reprecussions he alluded to. This hefty whopper came out in a tete-a-tete with NBC News, who reported Trump's astonishing declaration that he's neither yearning nor intending to have another chinwag with the tech titan.
• Musk, the brains behind SpaceX, Tesla, X and the wealthiest dick on the planet, jumped aboard Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) train in the sweltering summer of '24, lending his hefty wallet to the tune of a whopping $280 mill (that's about 245 million euros to you Euro-dwellers).
• In return, ol' Donny-boy made Musk his special advisor after his victory, with the task to trim down the government like a barber on steroids. However, Musk's resignation came late in May, following which he's been a vocal critic of Trump's tax plans, referring to them as a fast-track ticket to *"Yankeeville"-go-bankrupt and a one-way path to an ever-expanding national debt.
• The cherry on top of this popsicle came during a sit-down with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) in Washington, when Trump accused Musk, his erstwhile ally, of having "lost his marbles" after the Big Kahuna said that without him, Trump would've lost the presidential elections come November.
• Trump, with his proposed "Big Beautiful Bill," is giving the Senate a good seeing-to and is dead set on passing the law by early July, despite bipartisan jitters.
• This bill, dear reader, plans to extend the colossal tax cuts of Trump's first term, slated to sunset at year's end, by implementing harsh cuts to the Medicaid healthcare program, which mainly caters to low-income and elderly folks. Analysts warn that this contentious legislation could bloat the federal budget deficit by a staggering $3 trillion (that's almost 2.64 billion euros if you're counting in Euros) over the next decade.
