He's a useful idiot at the moment. Once he is no longer useful, he's collected a very long rope. I suspect the end game will be Tesla's collapse when his hype train hits a wall and other manufacturers perfect low cost vehicles, Twitter/X is already dying and SpaceX will get involved in an ITAR violation or conflict of interest and suddenly end up in the hands of Lockheed Martin or someone similar and him in front of the SEC for one last time. The US gov would not want to look like they're intervening. They don't need to.
