Trump, who has remained silent thus far on the schism, faces a quickly deepening conflict between his richest and most powerful advisors on one hand, and the people who swept him to office on the other.
All this is stupid. But I know one thing:
Trump is a billionaire.
And I predict his followers are going to learn who he’ll side with when push comes to shove.
Also, Bannon’s take is interesting:
Bannon tells Axios he helped kick off the debate with a now-viral Gettr post earlier this month calling out a lack of support for the Black and Hispanic communities in Big Tech.
First, maybe Clinton and Musk have more in common than Musk or Trump supporters realized until now…
Second, he knows. He owns Twitter and their massive analytics apparatus, he probably knows more than most people on the planet. But I think musk is half blustering, and half frustrated Trump World is trying to do what it campaigned on instead of bowing to him.
Musk once understood very well that Dems were good for business as they subsided electric cars and space exploration. Over time he became upset with the Dem policies especially on transgender issues (due to his transgender daughter), and more full of himself. He convinced himself that his business, which essentially exist on state support, could thrive without it. Leopards are now eating his face.
