Would you ever trust someone who called you a p*do at the first sign of trouble? Elon is never getting into that circle again, it's over. He can try to do some damage control but it's over.

I think the real problem with Elon is that he lacks class. He is tacky. He got a lot of money but doesn't know how to behave. 
People can break up quietly, they can be enemies without making a public spectacle. People used to know this.
Some old world values are just lost on the nouveau riche.

Theory:

Him and Trump aren't that stupid and were advised to make this a public spectacle. The issue with people is they have Gell-Mann amnesia and forget political people lie all the time especially when it comes to goals. We just had 20 years of this with the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

My thought is with Tesla sales dropping in the EU, they needed a public breakup so Musk could gain trust back in that market. Also it seems likely a backdoor deal with China is being worked out, and I imagine a component where some amount of EVs will be open to US markets, dropping Tesla's market share. They really need to boost sales in Europe and this seems like a viable strategy.

These guys have economic advisors on payroll so if even I could come up with "pretend you guys fight and make more money later on" I'm sure they did.

Defi. Ethereum. Physics.

Everything about this fight truly benefits both parties, and they needed to publicly manufacture a divorce so Musk can get market share in Europe again since he's just too attached to US politics.

On top of that, I don't believe him calling Trump out in the Epstein files is even remotely true since the D's could have ran with that during the election. They could have led with that and didn't so that leads me to believe that is just made up spectacle.

You and I don't, but remember political calculus. We are presented the public image. In truth there are backdoor closed room negotiations.

The cards are pretty much on the table that Trump and Musk had a partnership and we have no idea what was actually arranged. You'll read it in a memoir in 50 years because that's how government works.

I'm of the belief the entire DOGE thing was staged and the actual initial goal of Musks involvement was:

- Musk gets information on government procurement contracts for software and space tech. That's the only thing of value for him and his business. Cutting government spending was never feasible but this might have been a kickback for support during the election.

- Trump and Rs learn where the slush fund was. Read any book on especially on foreign involvement in government, and there's always a global slush fund necessary to funnel money out. That random office that had major D senators on a Saturday protesting. That's the one.

You don't call someone a pedo in a fake fight
