It still feels like he's fucking those tech bros with this dumb shit though.

Yeah but the tax cuts will net them billions of dollars. Trump can probably only do millions and millions of damage. We’ll see how wrong or right they are, they are supposed to be geniuses.

With the way these tariffs are going he's going to do a hell of a lot more than millions of damage

The problem is tech bros are just as fucking stupid as the rest of the median voters. I actually think a lot of them buy into it for the same reason poor people do, “he’s definitely agreeing with me, and lying about everything I disagree with him about”. This is basically the argument his voters I know give.

Nope, he helps them keep the competition down. It’s about timing and insider knowledge, if you can’t go faster make sure others run slower.

He can also make exceptions tailored for his buddies.

They will have their falling out in due time. People lasted about a year last time, and Pence who had to stick around was threatened with lynching on Jan 6th. I'll be shocked if Musk isn't already unhappy about being shuttled off to an office outside the White House.
