    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.
