It's way worse than that. The playbook is simple - "it's not us, it's Elon. Trump wants to make america great, Elon went too far. Us innocent legislators didn't see it coming!" If the democrats grow a pair and shutdown the government by filibustering the budget, Trump will fire (or worse) Elon, scorched earth whatever is left and blame the democrats. They are all about the big lie -- they'll float the idea that Elon was secretly working with the democrats the whole time. If Trump is lucky, there will be an early hurricane or an earthquake in California and the devastation will be Chuck Schumer's fault. Long live the king.
