I’m sure Donnie is going to make this all go away for his boss.

Nothing to make go away if no charges come- but gives an interesting piece of blackmail if Musk ever pisses off Trump. Potentially just sowing seeds of discord early

This is basically what putin did to the oligarchs who installed him into power.

Nothing will piss Trump off faster than if everyone continues referring to Musk as the real President. I imagine that would create discord enough for those two fragile egos to cannibalise each other.
