    Narcissists hate being ignored or called unimportant. Trump flippantly dismissing him as “nuts” and moving on is the ultimate insult.

    I’m sure Musk has an army reining him in, but that’s legitimately hard for Musk to ignore.

      Musk may be the richest man on earth, but there’s several things he craves that none of that money can ever buy. Like respect. Love. Being able to hold your pee. A working dick.

      You know, the simple quiet enjoyments the majority of working class people don’t have nearly as much issues with.

          Money, baby. He still (alas) has enough right now he could afford to primary every single Republican that is hard-core Maga, and potentially make Trump a lame duck for two years(depending on how the cult views all this). Which would mean that Trump would no longer be newsworthy, and would drive him up a fucking wall. Of course, then we would have to deal with a new political power and cult of musk

      I don’t think Trump needs Musk anymore at this point. With all his crypto grifts, market manipulation and other schemes he made quite a penny for himself.

      I’m also bet Trump would like for Musk to be knocked down a few pegs, so he could point at him and show the other oligarchs what happens when they don’t play along.
