Once the conflict spaceship lands, Musk gets to reset and go back to playing the role he loves best: neutral visionary. A quirky futurist who backs nobody, insults everybody, and keeps his eyes glued on Mars. He can throw jabs at Trump, dunk on journalists, and still wear the “anti-elite” badge like a spacesuit patch. He’s out of the blast radius, but still circling the control room.
Meanwhile, the spat also advantages Trump: it diverts the news cycle for a few precious days from what’s actually happening — the quiet but permanent restructuring of federal IT systems, communications architecture, immigration surveillance, the DEI demolition crew, and his new emergency tariff protocols that will bring foreign markets to heel.
Here’s the thing: it doesn’t matter whether the feud is real or rehearsed. Whether this is just cosplay or an actual volcanic ego eruption, the outcome is the same: Either way, everyone wins at the end. Trump doesn’t need Elon anymore. He’s in his final term — he can burn every bridge he wants. Musk, meanwhile, already got everything he came for: access, contracts, power, and narrative redemption.
This isn’t a falling out so much as a scheduled exit.
Stand back beyond minimum safe distance and let them fight. Let the Democrats and corporate media fantasize that Trump can’t govern without Elon standing behind him. Every minute they waste on that hopeless dream is a minute we gain.

Musk is interesting, but he's not someone you'd like to spend considerable time with.

Elon and Trump have agreed to an amicable return of each others' torn bras.
Eventually, nuking Mars with ice rocks from the Oort cloud will be needed for water and oxygen.
Is this Elon having a Cow and using the old "Rich guys sharing a ride to WBI" doc that was already released, or is it new stuff?
