Well, until two malignant narcissists come to loggerheads over some particular issue, and Trump decides to persecute Musk for the offense of no longer being [an adequately service lickspittle](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-it-possible-that-teslas-recent-complications-stem-from-elon-musks-toxicity/983290/45), and Musk responds by galvanizing his adoring legions of Muskholes to insult Trump on ‘X’, and the love that once burned so brightly between them becomes a firestorm of invective and escalating retaliation. I await the coming shitshow with popcorn in hand.
