Is he ruins other Republicans. Think of the people in the 2016 primary - Republican rising stars, Christy, Scott Walker, Jeb Bush. Christy is still vocal, but pretty much out of power. The other two? Haven't heard much from them.

He ruined Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr. He destroyed Rudy Giulani, America's mayor. How many of his lawyers have had to get other lawyers to defend them? Devin Nunes is gone. There are others I can't think of now.

I don't know if he can ruin Musk, but he can sure throw him under the bus. I predict he may eliminate Matt Gaetz from politics if Gaetz displeases him. Looking forward to it.

He will have Putin level kompromat on the felon.

Hell Putin may give Elmo ammo to make more chaos so that he can reclaim a lot of Soviet territory while the US burns itself down.

Why would T throw him under the bus? There are plenty of people he hasn't thrown under the bus.

And even if he did, why would Musk necessarily turn on T? Even lots of the people that T has turned on, have continued to support him. Or at least remained neutral.

I also don't see that when things get worse, that the majority of this country will turn on him. Many of them are loyal cult followers. And others gladly voted for him, and are rooting for his success. They're invested.
