And that might work, but I wonder if Musk is now tired of politics? He got his ass whooped trying to buy a judge, and yes, he got a President (who is now attacking him left and right), so maybe it’s a game he doesn’t really want to drop a lot more coin in? He does lose interest in things, after all. Does he really care that much about “the deficit?”

What's the point of being the richest man on earth if you can't get your own way?

I mean, none of us know what Musk is going to do - and he might indeed decide to quit the field rather than take the pain of more involvement in politics. But then again, he has to have a massive ego, and we know he's a risk-lover who really will go to great lengths if he wants to make an impact. If he genuinely thinks that defeating the OBBB is important, he'll be very motivated to do what it takes to kill it. It's not like it would cost him too much to do that.

That said, again, both of these guys can really hurt each other if they really fight it out - so the obvious "right" solution is for them to find a way to just let this go.
