It's funny, but even as spectator sport, I'm kind of underwhelmed by the Trump/Musk fight.
They both lie and make BS statements continuously, so there's no real thrill of getting any reliable "insider" story from either of them. They are both so intensely dislikeable, there's no "side" to root for. And we all know that Trump has the strongest, weirdest cult following and would be believed by a large slab of them even if said he had to push Musk out of a high window in the White House, Putin style, because it was in self defence.
One thing I can't see happening is liberals rushing back to support Musk and his companies - he's trashed his reputation beyond redemption.
I have seen one or two people on social media speculate that they will resolve their dispute in a week or two, and this will be put aside. But can Musk possibly grovel that low, and retract all of his objections that everyone has seen? I mean, lots and lots of Republican politicians have, but for Musk to turn on a dime and say "we both said harsh things but now we can work together again"? I doubt it.
So, it's all a terrible sideshow, and Musk's objections to the Republican spending is unlikely to get any significant congressional support - they sold all principles and soul a long time ago.
Something else needs to happen with clearer prospect of hurting Trump than this....

They are similar to each other. I have said I see no business future for Musk as he has destroyed the Tela brand by his politics.
We should remember we have yet to see any corruption or waste by his DOFE crew.
At this stage he has increased public sector costs!
On the political level the MAGA crew are not going to let go of trump
It’s part of the problem of nobody really minding the store. How are we going back home? Are we running deficits?
One must realise that the US is finished. The first two weeks it looked like something could be done. But now we see it’s over. The experiment in Republican government, a bad idea from the start, is finally doomed.
Really once you sell a Republican government on the idea of running deficits it’s all over. Even if it takes a century or two for the red ink to completely destroy anything you have built.
