Trump vs. Musk

Much hoo-haw about the Trump-Musk spat, a battle of titans pitting the wealthiest man in the world against the world's most powerful man. Here is the wisest comment I’ve seen, courtesy of Instapundit Reynolds.

Both have a tendency to talk a lot of smack and then cut a deal. That’s what will likely happen here, because neither one of them is stupid.
And I also like this more nuanced comment by Dinesh D’Souza.
Who’s right?
Trump or Elon?
They both are.
Elon is emphasizing the way things ought to be.
Trump, the way things are, given the current makeup of Congress.
If Musk wants to fix things, don’t start a new party.
Help the GOP win a strong majority of fiscal conservatives.
