'Mutual destruction': Analyst claims Trump now realizes dumping Musk would doom himself
Raw StoryPresident-elect Donald Trump and his billionaire sidekick Elon Musk have locked themselves into a partnership that would be almost impossible to break without mutual destruction, a CNN columnist wrote Monday. Stephen Collinson shared his conclusion while focusing on the MAGA “civil war” triggered by Trump’s siding with Musk in recent days over support of visas for foreign tech workers — which many in his MAGA base say goes against his America First agenda. How long will Trump tolerate Musk’s capacity to dominate political debate in a way that only he can match?” Collinson wrote. “There’s no modern precedent for a faction of a president’s power base being led by someone as rich, mercurial and powerful as Musk with immediate access to a mighty social media network,” he wrote.
