IMHO Trump is self convinced that he has the capacity to manipulate geopolitics with naive threats of financial wand waving utilizing Musk as some sort of Sword of Damocles,.
Destroying and destabilizing the US federal infrastructure and therefore State infrastructure in an ad hoc blitz to the severe detriment of the citizens is no recipe for reestablishing a rapidly diminishing significance on all fronts.
At th end of the day it is the real oligarchs that control the money who dictate outcomes even as they may be entertained by Musk who is acclaimed by virtue of shareholdings that currently are shedding value like wilting roses.
In that context Trump and his loyal beagle Musk are simply being granted enough rope to be saved to hang themselves.
And may Paula White create much more gibberish to see them off at their political funeral before racing home to count the stash derived from illegitimate religious conflict in US politics.
