According to one of Donald Trump's many former lawyers, the initial skirmish between the president and billionaire Elon Musk is far from over and likely to grow more vicious.
In a second segment with MSNBC host Ali Velshi on Saturday, former Trump "fixer" Michael Cohen doubled down on an earlier prediction where he stated, "...what Trump is actually doing is weaponizing the Department of Justice through his attorney general and other people — and they are going to drop the hammer on him out of nowhere when he least expects it. That's the playbook. And again, this is political guerrilla warfare at the highest level."
According to Cohen, onlookers may be on the verge of seeing a historic "war."
Cohen noted the disparity of Musk's social media reach via X, compared to Trump barely scratching the surface on Truth Social.
"On his platform which is going to really irritate and I'm sure it already has Trump on that, 172 million people viewed Elon Musk's post versus Trump's on his social media Truth Social platform: 179,000," he told the host.
'Elon Musk has massive powe and here's the problem with that, " he continued. "Trump craves relevance, Elon Musk craves dominance –– it's a very big difference. You're talking about an immovable force trying to smash into something that's indestructible. This is going to be a war like nobody has seen in maybe in all of history."
"But to your point, you just made a minute ago, most Americans are worried about other stuff, so it's fun to watch this little tennis match between them," he added.
