i think you assume elon has more power than he does. trump's way more powerful as president, and his ego is way too big to allow elon to steal the show. one of the reasons elon jumped on the trump train is that he's pissed off the liberals and needed political protection. even though trump was pretty critical of him, he threw his support behind trump and mended fences. musk's companies are heavily reliant on government subsidies and contracts, and he needs political cover.
