00:00Do you think he fears Musk?

00:01Is he strong enough ever to turn on Musk?

00:05Well, I think that that will fizzle.

00:07I don't think it will be a Pyrrhic end like so many of us

00:10with Donald Trump.

00:11I think the thing that relationship with fizzle,

00:12I think he does fear Musk.

00:13I think Trump is a politically astute person.

00:16He's a formidable politician.

00:18He's just experienced the greatest political comeback

00:20in US history that was aided by the richest man in the world,

00:24somebody that dumped over a quarter billion dollars

00:27of US dollars into the race and organized

00:30a strategy in Pennsylvania to help him win Pennsylvania.

00:33And he has a $44 billion megaphone

00:36that Trump has used successfully to win two out of three

00:40presidential elections.

00:46that Elon will get bored and this thing will fizzle out.

00:50Just give it a little bit of time.
