"What happened to your concern about climate change?"
Followed by
"You've completely debased yourself by supporting the one guy who will destroy the planet. And for what? A slight to your ego because Biden gave you the cold shoulder once? You are a huge thin-skinned bitch and will be remembered as one"
Shortest answer is always money. The richest man got much richer and plans to get richer yet after this.

He's going to make millions and get disproportionate power in government that he never would have gotten otherwise.
*billions
He's also attached himself to a fickle narcissist with a long history of throwing people away like tissues when they become slightly inconvenient, even at the cost of long-term value.
Musk knows that if Trump ditches him, he loses a hundred billion + in stock paper value, pretty much immediately. That's a lot of leverage and a lot of reason to stay on his good side.
It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Oh, he knows about climate change. Even if he was ever on the side of fixing it, he's clearly trying to just save himself now.
