Cheap take: no matter where you fall on the entire political spectrum, this implosion is incredibly entertaining, even if predicted for a long time now. Musk has managed to unite bitter political divisions against him. It's impressive really.
In the absence of substantive accomplishment, dramatic reality show soma has replaced leadership with a staged performance art that caters to social hierarchy and in-group approval rather than real, stable, effective, efficient benefit and happiness for the protection and thriving of most individuals' needs.
Do you have any evidence for this or is it just speculation? Their drama seem real enough given an elderly con artist and a neurto-atypical weirdo doing lots of drugs, where both seem rather megalomaniacal and used to getting their ways. They're competing for attention, approval, and power.

Two type-a jackholes bickering on the internet. Shocking.
People like them are just uranium. Put enough of them in close enough proximity, and things go boom.
