Musk knows how the 2024 election was compromised through computer coding in the swing states. Trump knows that is more fatal than Epstein to him, but fatal to both, and so they will try to de-escalate.

Difficult situation for the narcissists.

I do believe it takes an act of Congress to nationalize a company. There might be a few Republican libertarians who will not go along with it. Trump is loosing power. There are cracks on his base. Not gonna happen. Nice whatif though.
