Elon Musk is playing the part of “heel”, and articles and reporting like this is engineered to “take you in” to the moment, where something can be simplified and reduced to a “good” versus “evil” paradigm. It creates an escape clause for those doing the truly villainous where the heel can be pointed to as “worse”.
100%. Also a hatchet man. He’s brought in, wrecks shit on purpose, gets “kicked out”, profits immensely. Now admin can roll things back 5-10% to placate the plebes and blame Musk who everyone already hates for their life being worse.
That said, a lot of people would nonperformatively tell him to go fuck himself. Just don’t mistake it as anyone being on your side
My thoughts exactly. Distancing him from MAGA so people won’t hate him. People have very short attention spans and memories Elon could be seen as good again.
Theater.

The old Vince McMahon strategy.

Not true it’s mostly all Tesla stock. I guess he couldn’t go broke but he could loose more money then anyone ever in history.
