> since Trump rarely changes his mind

That's not true; he changes his mind all the time, particularly as media coverage changes. It's just not necessarily something you can persuade him to do without catering to his ego.

"We saw it in business with Trump," one adviser said. "He would have these meetings and everyone would agree, and then we would just pray that when he left the office and got on the elevator that the doorman wouldn't share his opinion, because there would be a 50/50 chance [Trump] would suddenly side with the doorman."


Trump is known to be that type where if you want him to go with your suggestion, you must be the last person in the room.


Perhaps that's why Elon was following him so closely everywhere at the tail end of his campaign and at the start of his presidency.
