The beginning of the end

Now that the media is referring to Musk as President Musk and Trump as Vice President Trump this could be the beginning of the big clash between the two. Trumps ego will not be able to handle it.

Musk still owns X, so guessing he is still safe.

You could be right but I still think the presidency is not big enough for two giant egos.

One is light years ahead in the intelligent department. Able to play the other more skillfully and with plenty of helping hands willing to inflate Trumps ego. So he will be around for awhile longer.

It is not, but Musk does not need Trump and Trump needs Musk. If Musk delivers Lara Trump's the Senate appointment, Trump will be putty in Musk's hands.

Remains to be seen how much sway Musk has over DeSantis who will need him in 2028 and Musk will play the long games while corralling the Tech Moguls to his side.

Lets not forget, Trump is now a one term president unless he attains a Putinesque stature.

That would make for a great 'X'Mas greeting card picture.
Trump it seems is sporting a new hairpiece (his Boris Johnson look?) and already wears makeup, so who can tell?

Yes, we will get through this but at what cost? The world is laughing at us as Trump destroys the country.
