I did not buy into the notion that President Trump and Elon Musk were feuding. And even if they were, I predicted the "feud" would be short-lived:
Trump and Musk can disavow each other all they want. They worked together to harm this country.
And they could always work together again.
Before Musk left the White House, let's remember that Trump declared "he's not really leaving" and that he will be "back and forth" to the Oval Office.
I believe Trump and Musk will kiss and make up. Perhaps even by next week.
Should this come to pass, it will be yet another blip in the second Trump presidency.
Before you know it, there will be a third Trump presidency, Constitution or no Constitution.
Well, less than a week later, Trump and Musk didn't exactly kiss and make up. Rather, Musk waved the white flag:
I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.
Presumably this would include the posts about Trump being in the Epstein files and subsequently calling for his impeachment.
Musk has tried getting back into Trump's good graces by backing his denunciation of California Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass amid the demonstrations against ICE.
Trump is open to a rapprochement with Musk, but I think Musk will have to do more groveling.
In order to be Trump's favor, Musk will need to accept that he is Trump's man servant available at his beck and call. A billionaire man servant perhaps. But a man servant just the same.
This is a consequence of aligning oneself with Trump. It doesn't matter how much money you have. If you lose your dignity, no amount of money can buy it back.
