Elon Musk and Donald Trump seem besotted. Where is their bromance headed?

Live Mint  

During his victory speech on election night, Donald Trump touched on most of the standard topics for such occasions. Mr Musk, for his part, has stated that his dream and SpaceX’s explicit corporate goal of colonising Mars will be possible only with doge’s help: “The Department of Government Efficiency is the only path to extending life beyond Earth." He specified, when announcing the department’s creation, that Mr Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, a businessman-turned-politician who will be its joint boss, would provide ideas about reforming the bureaucracy “from outside of government". Mr Trump displayed a hint of fickleness at a recent gathering at Mar-a-Lago, when he joked about Mr Musk, “I can’t get him out of here." Mr Musk’s closeness to Mr Trump could be seen as a liability for his companies outside America.
