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.
Elon will not be able to survive for long in opposition to Trump. All his businesses can turn negative in an instant. Moreover, he may also be subject to any legal complications. Trump usually takes his decisions as he says. What I understand is that if both of them do not come forward to solve this problem, then it is not possible for anyone to solve it. In such a conflict, both are likely to lose. According to the law, Trump will be able to stay in power for the next few years. During this time, he can implement any decision he wants. At the stage the situation has reached, it is hard to establish a good relationship between the two of them as before?
