Trump admin live updates: Trump says Musk will 'pay the consequences' if he funds Democrats

President Donald Trump told NBC News that he does not plan to talk to Elon Musk in the near future, adding that he has "no reason to" nor any desire to repair the relationship.

But Trump did issue a threat to Musk, saying that "he'll have to pay the consequences" if he chooses to fund Democratic candidates.

"I'm not going to say, but he'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that," Trump said.

The president added that he "doesn't have to" talk to Musk or try to repair the relationship.

"I'm too busy doing other things. You know, I won an election in a landslide. I gave him a lot of breaks, long before this happened. I gave him breaks in my first administration and saved his life in my first administration," Trump said. " I have no intention of speaking to him."

Trump noted that he has not had any discussions about investigating Musk for his business dealings or immigration record when asked.

Speaking to reporters during a flight on Air Force One, President Donald Trump criticized Democrats for defending Kilmar Abrego Garcia, saying the federal charges unveiled Friday show "this was not the man from Maryland."

Trump said, "For the Democrats who backed him, this was not the man from Maryland, this wonderful father from Maryland. This is a pretty, pretty bad guy."

Trump declined to say whether he personally spoke to the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from the CECOT prison.

Asked how serious he was about cancelling government contracts with Elon Musk in light of their feud, President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One he was going to "take a look at everything."

Trump added, "Only if it’s fair for him and the country, I would certainly think about it."

But he also said he wasn’t thinking about Musk because he was busy running the country.

"Honestly, I've been so busy working on China, working on Russia, working on Iran, working on so many things, I'm not thinking about Elon Musk. I just wish him well," Trump said.

On the Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk previously led, Trump said that the White House would be taking over much of its work and commended what it had done so far.

"Many of those people remain with us, and they're going to remain with us," Trump said.

In a virtual press conference, one of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorneys said that “what happened today is an abuse of power,” referring to the charges in federal court in Tennessee against Abrego Garcia.

“They'll stop at nothing at all,” said Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg. “Even some of the most preposterous charges imaginable just to avoid admitting that they made a mistake which is what everyone knows happened in this case.”

“Mr. Garcia is going to be vigorously defending the charges against him,” he added.

Sandoval-Moshenberg also said he will be travelling to Tennessee to hopefully meet with Abrego Garcia.

“He is one of the first, if not the first person to leave the CECOT prison,” Moshenberg said. “So it's going to be very interesting to hear what he has to say about the way in which he was treated in that prison by the Salvadoran authorities.”

Ama Frimpong, the legal director of CASA, the advocacy group representing Abrego Garcia’s wife, said the government is “still delaying family reunification.”

“They are continuing to play games with the lives of Jennifer and with the lives of these three children,” Frimpong said. “Let him talk to his wife. Let him talk to his children. This family has suffered enough.”
