Spite about what? Elon hasn't done a single thing to harm the administration. The bill he claimed to dislike passed easily, he stopped talking about Epstein as soon as it seemed like it might cause actual problems for the president, and in the past couple days he's expressed very vocal support for the Texas gerrymandering effort and domestic deployment of the military in DC. He continues to be the administration's most powerful and influential supporter in the world.

Literally reïgnited the Epstein drama.

They've made up since, with a plan to use the drama and outrage to disparage and prosecute political opponents of the President. Congress and Trump-appointed judges seem to be acting in support of that approach so far.

That may be true. But it’s definitely a hot take.

Musk and Trump have agreed a detente. We have no signs of them helping each other. Where Musk has made up is with the GOP machine, particularly in the House. That looks less like alliance than positioning.

I consider stuff like this to be helping Trump: https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1952836498971344926, https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1954857646420369890, https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1955036144909029873

That’s a detente. None of those tweets actually do anything.
