Given their rampant disregard for the law as-is, what's stopping Trump from kicking Musk out and just taking his money/assets? Is that somehow too flagrant?
I imagine he would have no mechanism for doing that as Musk's wealth is mostly tied up in investments and shit, and what isn't, is probably in off shore accounts.
Trump is unhinged and completely self-absorbed. He probably means to keep Elon at his side for the next 4 [plus] years but he does speak off the cuff nearly all the time. Get him really annoyed and pissed off and I bet Trump will "forget his place" and either talk down to Elon or fire him outright. Make a crack and watch it grow.

Need more of this. Get Trump so butt-hurt that he kicks Elon to the curb. Then Elon can throw a tantrum and they can split their base.

Unfortunately this won't work, unlike the other people who he kicked, Phony Stark has money.
You now see muskov next to resolution desk almost all the time.

Could Elmo be prosecuted for being an illegal immigrant.
This is the kind of DOJ weaponization I can get behind

If he starts touching rich people's assets he's gonna piss off every powerful person in the country, ideology be damned.

This is outrageous, I have no desire to see this gigantic phallus in a place of law and order! Disgraceful!

Need to keep this up. Not that, in itself, it accomplished anything, but staying silent legitimizes this bullshit.

Was good until the last a minor part. That kind of undercut the whole thing.

Was quite a stretch for that one.
