> I would say the odds are not zero that one day Trump may be saying this about Elon Musk :\ I am morbidly curious about he political battles over the next few years. A lot of disparate groups came together to get Trump elected, and a lot of those groups DO NOT agree with each other. Does the classical wing of the party trust the tech wing of the party? Vance and Thiel are Catholic, do the evangelicals work well with the catholics? Do Theil and Musk still have bad blood? Does Bannon still have power, and does he trust the tech wing? I would say objectively it seems like Musk and Trump would be a powerful duo and yet I can't imagine there's enough space in the party for the both of them. Do the tech bros and finance bros really have a lot in common with the blue collar wing of the party? I imagine the hiring process will include a ton of political intrigue. Does a celebrity president want to put a celebrity like RFK JR in charge of anything? I wouldn't think so, he seems to independent a voice.

That is a lot of food for thought that has got to be looming in some way or another for everyone without being in focus very much yet. Good points, I figure a lot more could be put into words and you're a bit ahead of the curve. And the Trump followers can still be true-to-form and be completely optimistic about it anyway, while the opposition descends into an equivalent level of gloom over the same upcoming uncertainty. Now this time this type uncertainty has a track record. That could lay the foundations for professional gambling websites to start laying odds on which of the the initial cabinet members or advisors would be the first to go, and when. Plus when new contestants come in, it shakes up the odds so there's got to some opportunities there. I would think there's more counterparties that nobody has exploited yet, and there should be some completely opposite sympathy for any wager, even some that could be quite unrealistic during more stable administrations. For all I know they were already doing it based on his track record of loving to fire people on TV. Or strongly inspiring some employees and contractors to work harder than ever so they end up moving on to better things on their own initiative, by not paying them :\
