no, the thing people miss is that Johnson doesn't work for the president. In fact, the exact opposite: the Speaker of the House works for all House members.
It's not Trump putting Johnson in a bind, but the members, including Democrats, that refuse to work together because they generally see political advantage in keeping the fight going.
Trump and Musk only matter to the extent that House members want to use them as fodder.
We need to emphasize that this is the House members that we elected causing this. We need to hold our representatives accountable for their positions, not let them pass the buck to Trump.

After all, that just plays into Trump's hands.
