the trump-musk marriage is unstable for a simple reason that has nothing to do with politics and MAGA culture wars.
musk's pending tesla pay package is ~10X trump's net worth.
musk's net worth is already ~100X trump's.
who thinks trump can tolerate this gap increasing for 4 more years? because this is almost certain given just the tsunami of taxpayer money musk will take via spaceX.
once don senses any of musk's theatrics are for personal benefit AND there is not a significant cut for trump friends&family, divorce via pretext of a disagreement over some issue-of-the-day is a forgone conclusion.
although unlikely, i would not rule-out that some covert payoff (e.g., campaign laundered funds) from musk could or has been done.

Maybe. Maybe not. I believe we're stuck with Elonald Trusk.
Trump has always been a mediocre businessman who never had respect in the world. Now that he has the worlds richest people firmly in his orbit, he feels the 'importantest.'
Musk needs the complicity of the US military and taxpayer subsidies to get even richer and more powerful, so he'll continue to give Trump hand jobs.
Trump will do whatever he has to to not lose the support of the richest man ion the planet. Trump feels he is , at long last, respected.

we all know the size of the egos involved, but there is no way trump will be happy with scamming on the level of sneaker\bible\crypto hucksterism while musk is scheming on the scale of tens of billions in transactions.
trump must, or has, been paid bigly.
