Get the popcorn ready, this is going to be a rollercoaster over the next few weeks. The Tesla share price has already taken a 15% hit today and Elon has threatened to decommission Dragon 1 & 2, America's only working space craft for shuttling astronauts. How do you think this is going to play out next?
Nobody will back down, and no third party can make them reconcile. These two are full of pride and want their way, so I expect the quarrel to escalate further and harm each other's reputations.
It's Elon who is on the unfair side here, as he is against the leader of the powerful country in the world. Each one wants to protect their interests.
If one is going to give in, it's likely to be Elon, as Trump has all the power in the world to make Elon's business in trouble, so let's see how it goes, there will be harsher words that are going to be said, and no one can stop both.
