Trump and Musk owe their success to a few things:
1. the ability to fascinate audiences in this information age in which information is unlimited and attention is not and the reward for fascinating people is massive. (TSLA has been a good company but its price has been inflated because it is a meme stock.)
2. shamelessly willing to try anything that feeds into 1.
3. measuring success without regard for any social norms or quaint sense of morality.
The fight between them that will spill over the next while seems as likely to destroy Musk's wealth and Trump's power as it is to result in Musk ending up with Trump's power or Trump ending up with Musk's wealth.
What happens when two win-lose guys go to war? My bet is on a lose-lose outcome.
