Seems to me that the slower truck is really the inconsiderate one here. If you’re already slower, tap the brakes a little and let the other guy slide in.

Or just take the foot of the pedal for a while.
Seems like a game-theoretic problem
Taking their foot off the gas for a second only hurts them
Nope, it cascades back to all those in the same lane who’ve not yet decided on overtaking. It’s multi player game theory. Easiest way out I can think of is punishing both those too slow and too fast to create equilibrium. Haven’t thought about what this would do to other traffic going from the left lane to the outbound right via a mass of trucks in exactly the same speed.
Or just step on the brakes. This will teach him about safety distance.
