Part of it is just that———an illusion——
making people think they’re watching an actual beat-down.

The two had to invent an MO to get Musk back
into the good graces of his coterie of interests.

7 Reasons Not to Trust Elon Musk over Donald Trump

Breitbart worth looking at

I had somebody tell me last week on this blog of that “blah blah blah” I was in denial when I said that DJT was was playing 44D chess, I still believe that. Over the years I’ve known quite a number of NYC’rs, 47 is just like that. No problemo. WYSIWYG.

It could indeed be kabuki theater for all we know. I don’t think it changes much, but gives certain people a lot to talk about.

I’d bet it is and if I didn’t know better I’d say it’s a Bill Watts storyline lol. Since the heel-turn, there’s been a lot of hype about Musk starting another political party to take on the Ds and Rs. Since he’s “against” Trump, that would split the Ds more than it would the Rs and potentially be the stake through the heart of the Ds they may never recover from.

I know the simplest answer is the best (two egos ate their Wheaties), but there’s just a feel to this that isn’t legit.

To me, the whole kerfuffle seems obvious -- Musk is getting killed by Democrat buyers of his Tesla cars, and he needs some way to get back into their good graces.

How better to appeal to Democrats than by picking a fight with Pres. Trump?

And Musk does have a genuine beef -- he wants Congress to restore EV tax credits for his Telsa EVs.
So that's the reason for all the fuss, imho.

Now Musk wants to make peace again, but Trump is not so willing.
For certain, Trump does not want Musk to start supporting Democrat candidates in 2026, but likely all of that will get settled in "one big beautiful deal" between Musk & Trump at the appropriate time, I'd guess.
