    Trumps going to dump him within six months. If not sooner. Possibly three months at the rate Leons going. Musk seems to be trying a speedrun towards failure.

    Historians will debate how many moochies he lasted.

      Trump seems to be easily dominated by other strongmen. It’s possible Trump is afraid of Elon Musk and won’t have the confidence to stand up to him, nor the financial means.

            Sure, and that meaning means something to the people that use it unironically. At best you’re calling Musk a legitimate strongman for “dominating” the POTUS.

              Elon Musk wouldn’t be a literal strongman, if only because he doesn’t officially run a country. Though he does behave similarly in running his companies. Strongman might be the wrong word. Narcissist might be better. I think with those types, Trump can find himself needing to defer to bigger narcissists than himself.
