Idk why people think they are going to fall out. Elon paid to get Trump elected and so he's getting his return. Trump was never the show runner. It was the people behind project 2025 backing him.

I assume musk will do something stupidly, flagrantly illegal to the point where the republicans can't bail him out or belay it in court

Will he actually suffer repercussions beyond being told "alright doge is done, get out"? No.

There is absolutely nothing that is too low or illegal for a republican.

They've been known to back down when confronted. The question is what'll it be that actually gets them called out

My bet is on Musk actually cutting entitlements (will it be reinstated or the money found? No. But at that point he has no further use in the government dismantling scheme and is a convenient scapegoat for "look! He fucked it all up! Not us!...but we aren't going to actually do anything about it lol")

narcissists tend to dislike autistic people.

There will be a fallout, which will result if elon retaliating by banning trump from twitter.

This could be what is keeping trump in line since he doesn't want to lose his springboard for hate again.

They'll fall out when one of them realises that the other has just been using them.

Trump doesn't pay his bills, and cares for precisely zero people aside from himself. Is it possible they'll be buddies for a long time? Sure. But it won't be because Trump feels like he owes him, because that's just not how people like Trump view the world.

Trump just did an ad for Tesla as well as calling it illegal to boycott Tesla. The time where it was plausible Trump would kick Elon to curb is long past.

Narissists don't play well with others. If, at any point, Trump feels overshadowed he'll turn on Musk.

It's mostly coming from both of them being attention whores.

Can't have 2 attention whores wanting the spotlight. That being said, those 2 haven't stepped on each others toes yet.

You can tell that Trump really doesn't like it when Leon steals all the attention at those cabinet meetings and shit. He looks downright miserable in those photos.

I feel like if the Trusk alliance is going to fall through, it won't be because they turned on each other. Neither one seems to like the other, but they need each other to achieve their own greedy-ass goals. Trump isn't going to do a thing as long as he gets paid, and Musk isn't going to give up his political puppet.

The most likely reason, if it's going to fall through at all, is simply that Musk realizes (or rather, his advisors realize) the reason he's bleeding money so hard is because his political scheme is backfiring and the most profitable course of action is to get out of politics.

My prediction:

-Musk oversteps just a little too far, maybe leans too much into the "real president" thing.

-Trump, being Trump, attempts to sever all ties and publicly denounce Musk.

-No longer able to use his tool for plausible deniability, Musk just seizes control of the government outright. Possibly has Trump executed to demonstrate just how much control he actually has.

Now the real show would be how MAGA reacts to all that.

Yep. The power struggle over who is working for who is over. Elon won.

Eventually Leon will either embarrass Trump or overstep in some silly way and he'll be out of there. Given Trump's track record there is zero chance he keeps him around the full 4 years

I don't think it will fall through because of Trump. I think it will fall through because his inner circle tell him he needs to stop. Like you're already seeing backlash against Musk, I think in the weeks and months that will follow that he will do more and more things that piss off more and more people until in general a majority of the populace hates him and the Republican buddies will talk Trump into kicking him out.
