One aspect that everyone seems to be missing is the timing. Musk went after Trump's bill shortly after someone in the White House fed The New York Times damaging details about his drug use.
The Trump White House has always been a snake pit with various factions battling for the limited attention of the addled president. Musk made more than his share of enemies, all of whom have the private numbers of various NYT reporters.
Musk is every bit as vindictive, erratic, prone to anger, and narcissistic as Trump, and with Musk, all of those things are amplified by heavy drug use. He has a long history of viciously and recklessly going after people who cross or insult him. What we're seeing is absolutely in character."40+ years there's been no Dem-disarray remotely comparable to Trump/Musk/Leo/etc fratricide." -- James Fallows
