I agree with @mikegalsworthy et al, Europe specifically, and the Rest of the World in General, have to move on and leave the mess on Capitol Hill behind as a Damage Limitation /Containment exercise.

Musk has "Lost the Plot" the Brakes are off and Deranged President Elect has Vacated the Driver's Seat and handed him the Keys
Not looking good for the USA but that's what they chose
The Rest of the World has to move on and isolate the "The Madness of Musk" Virus and "The Demented Donald Trump"
