Fwiw, I don't think this is the case, but imagine if you would, this scenario:
Elon and DOGE were winding down, they said that over a month ago. Elon's business interests and net worth have taken a hit over his association with Trump. As some have stated on here before, the electric car business isn't driven (no pun intended) by the MAGA right, but leftist morons like H&H. Now that you've completed your job for the administration, how do you get back to business and people buying your vehicles again? What if you and Trump had a huge falling out - like massive? An ongoing feud that wins some back over to your side? Might that help? I would say "yes." And what if this feud were orchestrated by you and your friend to help achieve this goal, all while you continue to support him behind the scenes. As some have said, the Epstein stuff is low-hanging fruit, and it's not new. Moreover, if it were true, and you knew it, why would you be so entrenched with this person over the past several months? That doesn't really add up. Could you have a legitimate disagreement over the funding bill - one that you and your friend have discussed and simply don't agree on - and then decide together to use that disagreement to publically part ways as a charade to fool the useful sheep into baking you again? Maybe . . .
Again, I'm not saying any of this is accurate, but there's a line of reasoning that runs through it where it makes perfect sense.
