Let’s give credit where credit is due: Elon Musk and Peter Navarro are mostly right — about each other, that is. Their recent round of MAGA-world backstabbing and catfighting offers a textbook example of what happens when talented or intelligent people (suspending our disbelief here) get sucked into the vortex of He Who Demands the Front Page, the would-be dictator and accomplished attention-whore who once again, and to the entire world’s bewilderment, occupies the White House.
Partway through the dizzying and appalling last two weeks of trade wars, courtroom battles, street abductions and social media posturing, these two Trump factotums wound up in a war of words. The administration’s official position seemed to be “Let them fight,” which is certainly on brand.
