Summary
Elon Musk’s $288M donation to Trump’s campaign has secured him influence, including a leadership role in DOGE, which aggressively cuts federal programs.
While their alliance is built on shared disruption and anti-“woke” policies, tensions could rise as Musk’s unchecked power draws criticism.
Musk serves as a useful foil, deflecting attention from Trump, but could become a political liability, fueling concerns over who wields real power.
Pressure from Republicans and critics like Steve Bannon may force a reckoning before the midterms.
vance is the proxy of the oligarchs. He was added to the ballot specifically to give them and project 2025 a direct voice.
musk IS an oligarch and has a long history of actively screwing over other oligarchs. His interests partially align with project 2025 but he is mostly there because he used twitter to win the election for trump.
In a world without trump? it becomes a question of whether vance is more afraid of everyone but musk or musk himself. And they are fully dependent on musk, zuck, and fox news to control public opinion because people actually don’t want the majority of project 2025.
In a world without trump AND without musk? vance is worthless. He has no charisma and most of the stranglehold on social media is gone. The moment he does anything that impacts a red state his approval is down in the toilet.
