Their interests align, take govt money and put it in rich people's pockets. There might be some disagreement on whose pocket and how much but Trump and Musk are on the same side.

If enough publications call him President Musk enough, Trump might kick him out.

Early last year, there were reports that the RNC was nearly broke. Gathering the money to have a convention was going to be difficult.

Musk and his Silicon Valley friends jumped in. They are expecting a return on that investment. Trump couldn't stop them if he wanted to. It's to the point that whatever blackmail Putin has on Trump is secondary.

There's only one lie that Trump cares about protecting and it isn't pee tapes. Its net worth.

he's in too deep. he'll double down, then double down again. no way is donald j. trump, president of the united states of america, stopping this implosion. trump hasn't got the balls to, nor the power left to do it. he's literally not man enough to stop the manchild dipshit.
