True, but Trump always takes the bait, but Musk responded instead of descalating the situation, and now it’s turning into a mess, just like the media hoped
I’d like to think this was a mutually agreed upon ploy to help Musk’s negotiating position with Twitter. Putting distance between himself and Trump might to Twitter less in intransigent. However, that’s falling into 7-D Trumpian chess Q-like thinking. The likelier explanation is it is what it is. Exactly what we see, Trump’s ego running over top of his reasoning.
