    This was an inevitability. The real surprise here is the concept of Trump parting ways with someone amicably. I still expect him to scapegoat Musk when the economy goes south and the peasants are out with pitchforks over their missing Social Security checks.

    Musk is a special employee. By law he has to work a maximum of 130 days per year, otherwise he needs to be confirmed by congress. This isn’t some surprise.

      They’d just “fire” him and “rehire” him (or hire "Mlon Eusk) to get around that, and then stall any resulting (if there are any resulting) cases in court until it doesn’t matter.
