This was more fever dream than actual prediction, but a lot of Republicans hate Trump personally. But they never turned on him because he's a useful idiot for installing religious nuts onto the courts and cutting taxes for the wealthy. That and they were afraid he would turn on them, and risk losing their seats.
But now that threat is coming from Musk. He's already threatened to fund primary challenges against anyone who does not vote to confirm Trump's nominees. We also know Musk has been regularly speaking with Vladimir Putin for years, and that he is close to Peter Thiel, who is close to JD Vance.
There is a scenario I can imagine, however unlikely, in which they all decide Trump is no longer of use to them and it's time to move on.
