Almost forgot.. it's not a great analogy but it brought to mind how Frank Fitzsimmons was going to keep Hoffa's seat warm at the Teamsters while Jimmy was in prison. The Mafia (like the Saudis and Elon Musk among others) realized they had a soft touch with Fitsimmons. They didn't want Hoffa back.

The Saudis obviously have Trump in their back pocket and I believe Elon Musk has come to this same conclusion..
