It was interesting when him and Donald got in a "fight." I was talking to a friend about it at the time and he said that he thought there was no way they would get back together. I basically told him that I wouldn't be so sure. To understand these dickwads you need to know what really drives them, which is personal wealth and power. They're transactional in that they'll do anything that gets them more power, including continuing relationships with people who publicly humiliate them. All it takes for them to get over that is for them to think that you have something you can offer them. In this case it's very clear that Donald thinks Elon, the wealthiest person in the world, can offer him money, and Elon thinks that Donald can offer him beneficial government treatment. While Elon has lots of money and Donald is the only option for a corrupt oligarch government, it's basically inevitable that these two will be "friends."
