Trump threatened Musk with serious consequences for supporting the Democrats.

US President Donald Trump on Saturday, June 7, warned businessman Elon Musk against financing candidates from the Democratic Party, saying there could be "serious consequences."

According to the American leader, such support can be regarded as undermining the Republican initiative to adopt a new budget.

"If he does, he will have to pay for it. There will be very serious consequences," the NBC News channel quoted Trump as saying.

However, Trump refused to disclose what measures could be taken against the entrepreneur.

On June 5, Elon Musk, after Trump's announcement about the possible termination of government contracts with his companies to save the state budget, announced that his aerospace company SpaceX would decommission Dragon spacecraft, which are used by the United States to deliver people and cargo to International Space stations.

However, later that day, the American entrepreneur announced that SpaceX would not decommission the Dragon spacecraft, as previously planned.
