It’s not clear whether Mr. Musk will spend any of his billions on the former president’s behalf. If he does, he could erase Mr. Trump’s financial disadvantage in the 2024 race.
I’m not so sure that’s a viable reason. Trump could literally kill someone in public and I don’t see him going to jail over it. Rape, misappropriation of campaign funds, selling national secrets, Insurrection, etc haven’t done anything to him yet.
I think what Putin really has is money and the promise of more money. That’s what gets Trump’s attention.
Which someone like Musk can dangle in front of him, too. Though Trump also likes having his ego stroked, but he’s not going to pay for that.
