Trump threatening to take away Musk’s government contracts is pretty serious for a smokescreen. Even the threat of doing this could destroy the companies, even if he never intended to follow through.
Unless Tesla gets bailed out I don’t expect it to survive much longer, consumers already don’t want his badly built and overpriced swastikars anymore, and this is yet another blow to the company. Musk leaving the government won’t save Tesla from itself.
You’re forgetting how often Rump says all sorts of things he never follows up on. This is why I keep saying we need a better news media. One that can recognize when something is genuinely news worthy. None of the details of this feud matter. Only maybe a single story about them having a feud would be needed. And if it were TV news it would be the last story. A funny fluff piece that doesn’t actually matter.
I’m not forgetting that he’s a shit talker, but you aren’t getting it - simply by saying this shit he has already harmed the companies by undermining investor confidence.
Trump directly attacked Musk’s companies and their investors, whether he follows through on the threat or not.
The elon and trump feud is a smokescreen for the media, to cover up other things. The fallout between the two is a laser, and we’re all cats.

It may have destroyed a normal company. But musks empire is so out of normal market rules that the thread won’t do much harm I would think

It needs government money or it’s done.
Elon has recieved about 38 Billion from government funding so far so he probably knows how to keep milking the cow

Which is why the news needs to ignore his shit talking rather than broadcasting it.
No, actually, I quite like that the media circus might cause Musk’s companies to fail. It’s good when his investors are hurt.
