Within a year of the election, will Trump publicly disparage Elon Musk?

This could be for any reason, provoked or otherwise. Things like belittling nicknames and personal insults would count, or "I never liked him anyway" type statements.

As this might be somewhat subjective, I won't trade.

The prior here should probably be higher than 53%, hard to think of high-profile Trump cooperators whom he hasn't publicly disparaged. Is there any reason to think that Trump is more likely to be charitable with Musk?

Think pricing at 50% extremely underappreciates both communication style and unwillingness to be second fiddle.

Specifically requesting a commitment in advance on how to judge: “I’m not saying—many people are saying—*payload here*.”

Counts mostly the same as if Trump had just said it without the preamble. If by some wild turn of events he follows it with "but those people are wrong and actually [the opposite]", that gets much messier and might not count on its own, but that pattern doesn't seem like Trump's style.

Does this include things said privately, made public? That makes it a bit more likely, but right now musk is just way too popular while still being aligned.

Musk doesn't really ever stop pushing to get the things he wants. But he's still too smart to drive trump to a point where he'll be insulting him publicly.

@AGucci just things intended to be public, not leaks. "Are they fighting in public", roughly. "Mad but still publicly working together" or things like it aren't intended to count.
