Musk is going to outlive Trump. He will still be around when Trump’s term ends, or when he dies, whichever comes first. Even if Republicans remain in control after Trump is gone, they most likely aren’t going to keep taking Musk along for the ride.
The man is the richest man in the world. There is absolutely nothing tying him to US soil. He could move anywhere in the world on a whim tomorrow. What will Musk do if a country like China or Saudi Arabia offered him residency, tax-free for life? Or just offered him like $100 billion to buy Twitter? $200 billion? That kind of money would barely qualify as a rounding error to countries like Saudi Arabia or China to pay for the information he has. Even if it’s a couple of years out of date, it wouldn’t matter. He could literally sell out this country any time he wants and there wouldn’t be a damn thing we could do about it.
I strongly suspect they will both be in Russia if they can’t hold onto power in the US. I also suspect Musk is data mining government systems to give to the Putin government.
You know what scares me about all of this?

When Trump dies, Musk will run for president, and the Republicans will endorse him.
While it probably won’t stop him, it should be noted that Musk is constitutionally ineligible to be President.
And Trump is constitutionally ineligible to be president currently as well as for a 3rd term. But it doesn’t seem to affect him at all.
