My prediction: by August Trump will separate from Elon Musk. He will assert with confidence that he does not know the man, and indeed, has never heard of Elon Musk.
By October, he will also state that he has never heard of RFK or Melania.

To everyone that voted for Trump because they wanted peace and safety and a strong economy --
I'm sorry that the bad man lied to you.
But now you have to step up, and make sure that he doesn't hurt anyone else, ever again.
