Musk is acting like a spoiled brat. He has lived the elitist life to the fullest and is picking the wrong fight.
IMO he is acting scared. He may have just realized that by being a patriot and working with the people's choice, he has alienated every leftist in the U.S. if not the entire world.
But Musk is relatively new to politics and is learning some hard facts. No one can run a government the way they can run a private company. And as much as I would like to see the budget slashed and the work of DOGE to become law, it's not possible with this Congress.
In my view both Musk and Trump love America and both have made great sacrifices to make America better. But they disagree on how it can be accomplished. But Trump is the one who won the job, and has earned the right to do it his way.
