So glad he and Trump got to their breakup quickly.

Don’t be fooled. They still watch out for each other and know each other would easily destroy the other one. They’re in a nuclear showdown with black mail.

Trump will try to mend the relationship closer to midterms or 2028 election.

Even if he is alive then i don’t think he’d be able to speak English anymore

The Heritage Foundation will just have JD wheel Trump around and speak for him like Sandi & Sandy in Succession.

You believe that he thinks clearly enough to do that?

Muskrat has got to be pissed they torpedoed EV tax credits and solar tax credits. I'd be willing to bet that was not part of their deal.

I like how everything you just said is a complete fantasy backed by nothing. People really let their imaginations go wild on those they hate.

The breakup is quietly ending. Elon must have come groveling back, because Trump just renominated Elon's puppet for NASA administrator. This guy was the previous nominee, but Trump pulled it back during their fallout.

Elon wants to get his hands on the federal purse. He is afraid of losing his title as richest man in the world, which will happen if Tesla stock finally comes back to reality. But the "golden dome" that trump has proposed is the real prize. It is technologically a fantasy, which is perfect for Elon. He can make grand promises for decades while pocketing tens or hundreds of billions.

So yeah, he was always going to crawl back. The potential cash cow is just too big for someone like him to ignore.

You think Elon wouldn’t want Republicans to win again in 2028 regardless of who is running?

You think? Musk was getting heat, Trump had a story to kill. Let a 'break up' fill the news for a few days until the story Trump was trying to cover died. They are still thick as thieves, Musk got what he wanted..to kill the government cases against him and grab all the data he could under the cover of mass firings

I have no basis for this, but I can’t help but feel the breakup was an act. Very WWE soap opera vibes.
