Here's a fun thought. Elon pisses off Trump like so many previous advisors, Trump drops him in a social media storm, does Elons lost base come back, or is he now outcast from both sides... that would be interesting.
I think separation is inevitable but won’t be done in a loud messy divorce. Maga does not care for Elon, he will be disposed of by maga just as Vivek was. His liberal base isn’t coming back and the geopolitical meddling really pisses people off. Hitler posts, Canada isn’t a real country posts, Ukraine dictator posts , etc.
Lucid and rivian aren’t bad names to be holding because he’s done irreversible damage to the brand which will have delivery number consequences
However , Tesla isn’t a car company anymore so it doesn’t matter. It’s all about automation now and Tesla remains the world leader in this space
