my opinion
until someone actually gets the calculator out to truly work out if trumps 'one big bill' will be net profit or loss. all we are doing at the moment is just hearing media's calculations on if it is profit or loss come september.. where different sides have different results

seems musk went with the media side that said it will add to the deficit..
...
as for the removing the EV subsidy. well elon knew about that months ago so i wouldnt say that was a trigger recently
i dont see a excess/surplus/profit this year. but not a addition to the debt. id say it would roughly break even..
..
as for the space force and nasa stuff.. well that could have been a trigger, because elon was hoping to win new contracts to get US stuff into space
..
as for the epstein files. well those were available to the white house ages ago, so im sure elon took a look, we also all know that epstein partied with trump, the internet is full of pictures of them together so not new news.. but elon seemed to want to throw a rock this week in trumps direction, by mentioning the files inclusion of trump

i cant see elon and trump going back to buddy-buddy any time soon, nor elon going back once a month to check/update the doge teams on new efficiency idea's

i also dont see trump giving elon the contract for the 'spaceforce'/golden dome projects
