He didn’t want Trump to kill EVs, but Elon is a narcissist and batshit and doesn’t know how to walk a fine line. He has to dominate and that’s what he tried to do. Probably could’ve been more successful if he just acted like a loyal supporter to Trump and ran his business.
I think Musks playbook is to be the excited investor at first who gets involved with the company. Later, he bullies the founders out and takes it over. That obviously can’t work for the presidency.
