Ego? It seems most of what he does boils down to his own vanity at the moment. You don't get the mindless hero-worship to the same extent on the other side of the fence.
He can cosplay kingmaker with his ownership and control of the tw@tter algorithms. So he gets his influence/power without any accountability. He can also 'buy' favours with the GOP in a way he can't with the Democrats because they have, and Trump in particular has, a far more transactional MO - e.g. (and this is probably the tip of the iceberg) he gets promised tariffs on Chinese EVs which are set to boost Tesla.
Plus (and I think this is a big reason) their current narrative plays more to his own personal prejudices...
Just my thoughts viewing from the outside, not any definitive reasons. It's probably complete guff.
