I think Musk realizes this and plays nice with Trump well he is useful to him aka what is supposed to be a 4 year term...
In the meantime, Musk works to find Trump's successor who is easier to handle & control.

Tesla stock has already priced in future performance, and in my mind has overpriced those in, so I don't see a lot of up side, unless you really think Trump is going to stick with Musk over any period of time. The second Trump turns, that stock is tanking. So it's got more downside potential than up, since it made it's huge gain with Musk and Trump winning. But Musk doesn't have a guaranteed 4 years of power, Trump pretty much does. That's a huge risk.

"A lot of action on the J6 hostages" Trump says. WTF is a J6 hostage?

This seems like a staggeringly obvious negotiating bluff and always was.

He got Canada to promise additional security spending to its borders without any promises on tariffs in return. It's clearly a complete win for him no matter if he goes through with tariffs or not.

If someone pulled these stunts on me? Theres the door.
Who buys these shenanigans?

I’d put the chances of a falling out extremely high.

Every time I see him meddle in another country I get more excited. Hes getting way up on the #### around axis.

The narrative from the left that Musk vs. Trump is going to blow up to me feels like that side hoping and coping.

Depends. I think if the message continues to be Musk is president then Trump gets angry

Mossed in the side show today is Biden pardons of basically his whole family. Dems must be furious as this will surly be copied by Trump.
What to think when the fear 4 years ago has been realized because of Biden. Treating the pardon process to protect family.
As dumb as some make Trump out to be, the guy sure (sadly) gets what he wants. Trump can now point to crooked Joe and say told you so. Guy seems to know how to make career politicians squirm that is for sure.

The problem comes when you are a one client business who your client knows you are a one client business, and have little outside options. Nobody told Darth Vader in his face to shove it.
Zuckenberg is kissing his butt for a reason.

It's amazing you can look at how this played out, and find a way to blame Biden for it. You'd protect your own family too, if you saw what was going on. I sure as #### would.

No. I think that is actually a very good point.

There's very little doubt at this point that the Biden family was running an influence peddling (and other) criminal enterprise.
