"What happened to your concern about climate change?"
Followed by
"You've completely debased yourself by supporting the one guy who will destroy the planet. And for what? A slight to your ego because Biden gave you the cold shoulder once? You are a huge thin-skinned bitch and will be remembered as one"

He's going to make millions and get disproportionate power in government that he never would have gotten otherwise.

He's also attached himself to a fickle narcissist with a long history of throwing people away like tissues when they become slightly inconvenient, even at the cost of long-term value.
Musk knows that if Trump ditches him, he loses a hundred billion + in stock paper value, pretty much immediately. That's a lot of leverage and a lot of reason to stay on his good side.
