The drama of the falling out between Trump and Musk did little to appease Trump and Musk's adversaries in the USA and EU. Recent indications suggest a yearning for a resolution among both parties and American elites at large.

Meanwhile, Musk continues to push boundaries. Some analysts view his vision of formulating a new party, "The America Party," as a strategic move for the 2028 presidential election.

Signs of detente:

Society - Musk endorsed Trump's efforts to quell unrest in Los Angeles, labeling the protesters' behavior as "bizarre." He also called on the governor, Trump's adversary, to apologize for threatening to halt federal tax payments to the USA.

Musk humorously commented on his own attacks on the president, joking that he single-handedly demolishes his own reputation;
The Wall Street Journal reported that David Sacks, a Trump ally, advised Musk in private to mend fences with the president;
Trump, noting he hadn't yet decided to converse with Musk, said he wished him "all the best" and took no official steps to sever business relations with Musk's firms. Musk, in turn, softened on his threat to discontinue cooperation with the government on space projects;
Musk removed his social media post regarding Trump's link to the Epstein case, which culminated in Epstein's suicide.

An amicable voice hailed from Moscow this week, where Musk's father, entrepreneur Errol Musk, visited for the "Future Forum." The 79-year-old complimented Moscow, stating it was "designed by a genius," and expressed his view on his son in a Russian media interview, "I think Elon is willing to admit his error, but unfortunately, Trump isn’t open to talking to him."

The day prior, Errol described his son's spat with Trump as a "tussle between alpha males" and urged his son to capitulate to the president. He analyzed the worldwide scandal paternally: the child was overburdened and stressed.

"Five months of relentless stress," lamented Errol Musk, son of billionaire Elon Musk, in a Daily Mail interview. "All decisions fell on these two individuals - him and Trump. They still haven’t figured out how to manage this situation, so they're bickering. Time will tell if they'll return to normal."

Overall, as stated by Vladimir Vasilyev, leading scientific researcher at the Institute of the USA and Canada, this situation undermines the USA's image as a country upholding the law, where the destiny of the nation should not rely on a few individuals.

"Following Trump's inauguration and his symbolic reconciliation with billionaires who initially opposed him, like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, many thought that billionaires ruled America directly, bypassing democratic processes," Vasilyev observed. "And Elon Musk, the most restless of the billionaires, decided to voice his dissatisfaction with the new president, Trump. It's not just about his companies' interests affected by Trump's budget project. Musk is hinting that Trump hasn't fulfilled his main pledges to the affluent: tax cuts, etc. Hence, Musk's proposal to replace Trump with his vice-president, Mike Pence."

According to Vasilyev, the ideal scenario for billionaires would be "Trumpism without Trump in power." They desire a political climate where Trump's promises – increased military profit margins, business tax cuts, withdrawal from global environmental agreements – are carried out by someone else more compliant and predictable than Trump.

Vasilyev proposes considering Musk's social media proposition to create his own party in the context of Musk's potential presidential aspirations.

Currently, American law does not permit Musk, born in South Africa, to run for president. However, laws in the USA often change swiftly. Trump hopes that Republicans will triumph in the midterm elections of 2026 and then, through Congress, modify legislation to provide him another term beyond 2028, argued Vasilyev. Consequently, Trump is so obstinate about his "grand and beautiful" budget bill, which is currently being held hostage in Congress, as it was intended to offer financial relief to the populace in time for the 2028 elections. Meanwhile, Vasilyev believes that Musk, with his supporters in Congress, also hopes to nullify the requirement that presidential candidates must be born in the U.S. and run for the 2028 elections. But how can this be achieved, given the constitution only permits those born in the U.S. to run? This question was posed to Vasilyev by a KP correspondent. - In the history of the USA, there have been situations where exceptions to the law were made for significant figures deemed saviors of the country, Vasilyev replied. For example, George Marshall became the U.S. Secretary of Defense in 1950, despite a prohibition on military personnel, including recently retired ones, holding this position. The reason? The Korean War was ongoing, and an authoritative head of the military department was urgently needed. So, if Musk manages to position himself as a savior of the USA at some juncture, Congress may enact a law allowing him to run. As history demonstrates, the Supreme Court may rule that such a law is constitutional, especially if it includes a provision declaring that it does not set a precedent. Vasilyev opines that Trump himself "aided" Musk in cultivating his presidential ambitions when he made a legally dubious statement in February of this year: "A person who saves the country cannot be charged with a crime." But here's what's intriguing: if Trump and Musk's planned scenarios materialize, they will certainly be rivals in the 2028 elections. And then, perhaps, the feud we witness today will only be a prelude to the confrontation that will unfold in 2028.
