 Isn't he going to die of natural causes suddenly from previously unknown symptoms of a disease he wasn't aware of?

 I've heard that the Secret Service has provided him a detail. I don't
know how big it is but it would probably discourage most threats.
 Then again, there must be a lot of people with motivation to act at this point....
 I wish he'd find a lower-profile deputy to carry on the important work of DOGE and get his own butt back to SpaceX. I *really* want SpaceX to succeed and I think they probably need his help to get past their current problems.

 You mean his help in both getting rid of the people who were looking
into SpaceX and helping to get more contracts from the government?

 So your theory is that the richest man in the world, who has more money
than anyone has ever had before, is so corrupt that he'll destroy major
chunks of the government to either hide some kind of scandal - of which
no details have emerged to the best of my knowledge - or obtain more
contracts?

 Yes. After all did you see him getting Trump to help make an ad for
Tesla. That tells you a lot about both men.

 I think I'd like a few more actual facts before I start embracing your conspiracy theories....

 It's a fact. Government property is not to be used for commercialy purposes. And Trump endorsing Tesla's was certainly commercial.

Trump the Chump bought a Tesla car solely to show "support" for Muskrat's ailing car company, but that car has 37 recall notices for problems that require fixing before he can even drive it (not that he ever will of course, it's purely a publicity stunt). Really it achieved the complete opposite and shows yet another great reasons why people should NOT buy Tesla's crappy cars.
