Of course Trump has leverage over Musk.

He's already gotten everything he needed out of Musk -- money to get elected. At this point, Musk offers very little to Trump. On the other hand, Trump very much has something Musk wants: power. If he doesn't bend the knee, Musk could get the Laura Loomer treatment, which would make Elon very, very sad.

You underestimate the power of the red-pilled tech bro and moneyed young white male audience that Musk rules. Trump needs that money and those influencers.

If Musk turns against him and convinces his broligarchy that Trump is a false idol just in the game to enrich himself (which of course is true, but would destroy the narrative that Trump is truly red-pilled), that could cause massive economic and tech damage.

If it becomes a Musk v. Trump battle on social media, I know who I'm putting my money on. Trump isn't losing any popularity contests until he f***s the economy, and that will take some time.

Could be. But my guess is that Musk doesn’t give a shit about abiding by US laws and could potentially unleash a lot of unsavory Trump and national-level intel.

“… Trump was asked if he was “bothered” at all by Elon Musk’s public criticism of his A.I. deal, which Trump struck with industry leaders including Sam Altman, the OpenAI chief executive. Trump seemed clued into the lingering hostility (and litigation) between Musk and Altman. “He hates one of the people in the deal,” Trump says. “People in the deal are very, very smart people. But, Elon, one of the people he happens to hate. I have certain hatreds of people, too.” …”

Imagine someone saying with a straight face that they're "aspirationally Jewish" and "Jewish by association" in response to claims of antisemitism, lol. Next-level version of "lots of my friends are black!"

He’s like George Santos. He’s Jew-ish.
