It’s because Trump is washed.
He doesn’t have the energy to burn it all down so he has to outsource it. No way younger Trump lets Elon babysit him for interviews and generally cuck him all over the place.

I think we need to consider that maybe the Musk-Trump breakup we’d all presumed is not as imminent or inevitable as we’d thought.

Eric Adams has been indicted for bribery. And he denies it while being openly bribed by the President of the United States.
Trump could have pardoned him; instead he's ensuring that Adams does his will by dangling this case—which can be reinstated—over his head.

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵
