I think this might be right but I truly don't know. As I said to myself the other day in an imaginary shower argument: "trump is more of a musk loyalist than musk is a trump loyalist". Or so it seems to me.

Trump is a trump loyalist and nothing else. He doesn't want the job so he's happy to let Elon and whoever else do the work for him. He's even more disconnected from what's going on in the WH than he was last time around.
Elon on the other hand is happy to suck up to Trump because he thinks he's playing him. As soon as any of this backfires in a public and messy way that looks bad for Trump, he'll get dumped
My working theory is that Elon has been bankrolling Trump since last spring, when a huge chunk of Trump’s liquid assets got tied up in bonds while he appealed the civil judgments against him from E. Jean Carroll and the state of New York. The timeline matches up.
Yeah that's what I thought too. Trump is a very wealthy asshole, but most of his money has been tied up legally. Elon musk has an endless ocean of cash at his disposal. That is, so long as he doesn't sieg heil tesla stocks down to nothing.

Kind of like how he seems to believe Putin stole the 2016 election from him
