I think he's still destined for a spectacular crash and burn.
2025: his obnoxious bullshit and ego make Trump hate him even more. DOGE proves to be one of the most unpopular things about the administration and it cuts the social programmes that are lifelines for the average republican, maybe fucking their chances in 2026/2028.
2026: They have a big fallout, maybe in response to backlash over him cutting like a third of the federal budget or him trying to play shadow president
2027: Trump sabotages his federal funding out of spite/dislike for EVs. Tesla by this point is a MAGA hat you can drive and its share price is corrected to reflect the lost subsidies/sales. Maybe the economy is so bad by this point that Tesla can't even afford to import components for cars that people can't afford to buy. All the while Chinese EVs continue to get better and cheaper while the US market stagnates and ICE cars only become more expensive
2028: Ketamine overdose? By this point he's probably dead, bankrupt, or did a Business Plot to try and overthrow the government that betrayed him.
