PoliticsDonald Trump Will Turn on Elon Musk and 'Ultimately Go After His Money,' President's Former Ally Predicts
Michael Cohen predicted Donald Trump will turn on Elon Musk and 'ultimately go after his money.'
Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, predicted the president will turn on Elon Musk and come after him after they no longer work together.
Speaking on a news program, Cohen said he’s long thought Trump and Musk’s “bromance was going to come to an end" one day.
'Trump Wil Ultimately Go After Elon's Money'
Michael Cohen said Donald Trump will 'figure out' how Elon Musk 'took advantage of the United States of America.'
“I’m going to say Trump will ultimately go after Elon’s money next, because it bothers him that he is the richest man in the world,” he continued. “Yes, he used him for his money. Now he’s going to go and he’s going to figure out how Elon, with his companies, took advantage of the United States of America.”
Cohen noted he thinks Trump may end up using the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk headed up, to turn against the Tesla founder.
'They're Going to Claw It Back'
Michael Cohen predicted Donald Trump will 'do to Elon Musk... what Mohammed bin Salman did to the other members of the royal family.'
“They’re going to turn around,” Cohen stated, “use DOGE to go, ‘Right, government efficiency, fraud, waste, and abuse. How is it that he got $7,000 as a credit for every Tesla vehicle that was sold? That’s where his billions were made. Why should the United States pay for electric vehicles? Pay your own car if that’s what you want.’ So they’re going to claw it back.”
“He’s going to do to Elon Musk, my prediction, what Mohammed bin Salman did to the other members of the royal family,” Cohen added.
