I don’t know, if Elon and Thiel think they’re just using Trump for their own ends and they’ll discard him once they’re done, they’ll join a long line of people who I’ve heard the same theory about, all of whom ultimately failed. To be honest, I don’t think there’s a single person in this entire pyramid of horrible who is a threat like Trump. It’s not because Trump is smarter or more evil than the rest of them, it’s because he’s absolutely shameless in a way you can only be if your brain is legitimately miswired. And as a result, he has managed to capture the loyalty of a third of America who will rabidly support him no matter what. Those people aren’t going to do that for Vance, or Musk, or DeSantis. Trump is unique in that regard.
