I think Trump will continue to use Elon as a chaos agent, floating balloons to see how much further right they can shift the Overton window, and administering the occasional slap down, all while bleeding him financially. He’s following the Putin model, and he only started defenestrating Billionaires when they crossed him politically (see Khordokovsky et al.)
No doubt he is ruthless enough to jettison Musk, but he won’t do it until he has solidified his grip on power and extracted a lot more dough from him. ETTD….

It seems inevitable that he's going to have a big falling out with Trump at some point and he might not be in a good position when that happens.
He's burnt so many bridges to get into MAGA, once he's out he'll maybe be a bit stranded, especially risky given his companies apprently rely on subsidies so much.
