Trump and Musk clash, and the final outcome is likely to be one of these five:
First, Musk may be forced back to South Africa, and he will no longer be able to set foot on American soil. Trump might do this for his own interests.
Second, a government efficiency department established by Musk may investigate Musk himself. Although it is ironic, this is how capitalists, in pursuit of profit, could pressure Musk's companies to sell them cheaply to Trump.
Third, Musk may establish a "United States Party," gain public support, become the largest party in the United States, push aside the Democratic and Republican parties, and run for president himself.
Fourth, Musk's company may completely exit U.S. government contracts, ending cooperation. Without Musk's support, U.S. space technology will stagnate, and astronauts in space will not be able to return. Meanwhile, Musk himself will focus on the planet challenge.
Fifth, both Musk and Trump are just showing off; they have already agreed to fight each other to divert the attention of Americans, achieving their goals. Both are just talking big but taking no action, and it is highly likely that this is just a show.
