General Discussion

Trump is never, never, never going to turn off Musk's money faucet.

Never.

And because the only "relationships" Trump knows how to maintain are abusive ones (where he is the abuser, obviously), he'll string Musk along. There's no mistaking the fact that Musk is a power groupie, a moth who will circle that flame as closely as possible, thinking his wings won't get singed.

Trump also delights in cruelty, and we've seen it in some of his recent remarks, with Musk standing a few feet away.

Trump is probably delighted by the fact that Musk has a drug problem, because in his mind, it makes him easier to manipulate (and it probably does, actually).
