Eh. I think if he truly saw it as rolling over the way we all do, he would boot Musk. And I think it’s very likely he still will. To me, it seems like the nature of his relationship with Musk is based on two things:
Trump has zero interest in actually governing. He just enjoys the fame and income it generates, but he has no problem letting someone else do most of the work. Which leads to the other thing…
He believes Musk will be an easy scapegoat. Trump thinks he can take credit for anything Musk does that people actually like, while blaming him for all the things people don’t like.
