    I think this is hilarious. I wonder if they have some kind of agreement that trump can’t just back out of. Maybe it was a handshake deal and he’s just now getting annoying enough?

      It isn’t really an ‘agreement’, it is power. Money is power, and that makes Musk extremely powerful. He has shown that he can literally buy congress - either directly, or by threatening to back challengers. And while trump has the title of President, he doesn’t have the power: it has been shown that trump backing a person just isn’t enough to get them elected any more, unlike Musk’s money backing a person.

        But people actually stormed Capitol Hill and went to jail for Trump, not Musk. I don’t see any backwater dispossessed citizen taking part in a coup for Temu Tony Stark.
