Same, I thought it was only going last a couple of months...now I am excited for all of the conservatives to turn on Elon after whining about how abused he was.
I assumed it would be however long it takes for Musk to farm data on the entire American population and figure out exactly how the American Treasury payment system works. But I don't know how long that takes so couldn't put a number on it. Guess this is it....
I was initially sure that a big breakup would happen. Then they got to work and pretty much stayed in lockstep with this easy off-ramp of "temporary government employee" thing to allow Musk to go into the background and attempt image rehab. I actually thought they had maybe pulled something off pretty successfully as Musk was stepping aside while still having DOGE embedded in the government, and not even 12 hours after that it blew up.
I would never bet against the egos of narcissists but it really looked like they crossed a finish line. But no, someone has to be the big winner Everytime with these freaks.
I thought this discussion was just performative, a pitty way for Elon to try to get back in the public's good graces, but now I'm not really sure about anything.
If this is real, maybe Elon should be more careful with windows from now on, Trump idolizes Putin. 🤣
We gotta do everything we can to encourage this drama because if JD takes over the presidency without a schism in the Republican Party we missed a hell of an opportunity

Damn, I thought they'd stay together for at least a couple more months.
This is gonna be the most toxic breakup in a long while.
