On the other hand, there is still amusement to find among those who report on geopolitics:

It takes two sides to make peace though, unless it is a form of capitulation. Musk may well capitulate soon and he will definitively lose, but still early and it depends on the attacks from Trump most likely. If Trump indeed seeks deescalation, then Musk will aabsolutely go for that as soon as possible.
I will note that the last part of the guardian article (which really is a politico article) also reads like pure speculative nonsense. There are other sources including Trump, showing that he did not at all take this lightly.

Politico is a very good paper and have a variety of stories on this.

This is the article your guardian article cut and pasted from.

And there is a reason for this of course and that is because they worry about the political damage, so will seek to persuade Trump to deescalate:

Well, they are two egomaniac narcissists who will never accept defeat as we know.
Musk might try to sell a retreat as strategic, but Trump’s power lies in the fear he evokes in his underlings. If one stands up to him and gets away with it the edifice starts to crack.
Musk probably doesn’t have many allies and is not in a position to topple Trump, but he’ll hate any loss of face.

Of course, Trump will win. Power is always victorious over mere wealth.
But I am not arrogant enough to claim to know the “how” or “when”. Nor should you be.

This is still an event with unknown fallout as of yet. Unpredictable in terms of damage and in still in flux.

They will both chicken out very quickly however Trump will not be able to control himself and spark it off again.
Some in the White House must be running around like headless chickens trying to keep Trump from saying or posting anything.
They are like twins having a spat, both chicken out then one can not resist a poke and it all boils over again. These are not grown men we’re talking about, childish chickens more like it.
Twins Always Chicken Out, Buk, buk, buk, buk, Ba-gawk!

Did I say I was?

It will be interesting to find out if Musk and the Doge pricks have managed to dig up any dirt on Trump’s cohorts when they were basically planting root access into any and every government department that they could get into

He should set it on fire on the White House lawn.
That would be cool!

No. It was not an accusation. More a general warning that it is a situation that is some what hard to forecast other than in very general lines.
