I think what we are already seeing is a move to own the Republican Party / American Right post Trump.
It seems incredible to say it as he hasn’t even taken office yet but as he’s not that many years from death and this is his last term, there’s already a power struggle to take ownership of the party.
Libertarian tech bros that want de-regulation and cheap workforce vs racist bigots that want an all white America going head to head to own the party.
I actually think Trump will side with the libertarian tech bros because that’s where the money is for him. Trump won’t give a feck about those that voted for him as he knows they will cheer whatever he does anyway and he no longer needs their vote. This is going to be like his first term on steroids with him enriching himself at every step with zero checks and balances and zero concern over losing votes.
I believe that's where he'll side too. Heritage Foundation and the old tea party movement are a bit more his crowd at his age. The tech bros-crypto gang are too much over the place for him. Musk is going to be replaced sooner than later.Yeah there’s such a huge conflict of interests here. Trumps whole platform is to push back against globalisation and put America first. The exact opposite of what tech bros want. I reckon Trump will side with the America first gang. At the end of the day he’s a dyed in the wall, extremely conservative boomer who genuinely believes America was better before globalisation. I don’t think Musk has been anything other than a useful idiot to get him into power.
Karma for beating me to the isn't Elon a lefty joke.
The tech entrepreneur and close adviser to Donald Trump Elon Musk has taken a stunning new public step in his support for the far-right German political party Alternative for Germany (AfD), publishing a supportive guest opinion piece for the country’s Welt am Sonntag newspaper that has prompted the commentary editor to resign in protest.
The commentary piece in German was launched online on Saturday ahead of being published on Sunday in the flagship paper of the Axel Springer media group, which also owns the US politics news site Politico.

Unbelievable. He’s not even trying to hide who he is anymore and yet is not facing condemnation.Elon Musk pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right AfD party

Did Trump say something? I might have missed that.I'm just taking a moment to soak it all in. Guy was a loser growing up, his kids despise him, his exes all think he's pathetic, I don't even think his parents are capable of loving someone based on their dead eyed interviews.
And then he gets into the heart of government, starts to think that he'll finally show everyone how powerful he is, and even though he was all the money in the world he gets swatted away by Trump with a single comment. It's genuinely funny as feck.
Just the whole "he'll never be President" remark when everyone was online saying that Musk was the real power.Did Trump say something? I might have missed that.

You probably don't look like a fridge balancing on straws though so that's something.Blimey, I got all that but yet I'm not a billionaire, can I change loveless parents with him and be rich
His own AI calls him a shithead. Maga people are dividing themselves between pro Elon or pro party. Taking money from him is a deal with the devil trope.Unbelievable. He’s not even trying to hide who he is anymore and yet is not facing condemnation.
That's hardly condemnation though is it? Just the day to day nonsense he embroils himself in.His own AI calls him a shithead. Maga people are dividing themselves between pro Elon or pro party. Taking money from him is a deal with the devil trope.
