In some ways, this mutual acceptance defines both of them as realpolitik opportunists. I think we should judge them on their deeds, not on inherent contradictory states of their postures. Musk is a media tart. He does things for the clicks. Vance likewise. Their financial acumen is however variable. There usually is a belief in some upside. Musk will fund the republican campaign. Vance may have a titular position but without massive change will only verbally affect legislative outcomes, other people enact it and decide them. He gets to make noise as much as the leash around the VP role permits. His heartbeat-away function is different and his posture would change accordingly. If Musk puts a battery factory or car assembly plant in ex coal economy seats and has jobs, watch Vance backpedalling.
