President Trump threatened to cut off Elon Musk’s federal contracts, showing that he looks at the government as his own means of penalizing those who cross him.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he has little appetite for reconciling with Elon Musk any time soon, signaling he’s eager to move on to other topics following their extraordinary public blow-up.

"They've been under incredible stress for five months, give them a break," Errol Musk said while attending a forum by Putin's ultranationalist ally in Moscow.
