The fusion of Elon Musk and Trump, the symbiotic relationship, isn’t going anywhere for the time being. This particular useful union just has too much momentum going for it for the time being.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that not until Red State voters really, really start to feel some sort of pinch from what DOGE is doing will anything even begin to move towards being changed. MAGA is a Nazi deathcult to the point that is may literally be impossible to budge your typical voter in the Deep South when it comes to their support of Trump.
Musk might be a different matter, but he’s so useful to Trump at the moment — doing things Trump is too stupid and lazy to pull off — that Trump may just cling to him tighter and tighter.
What’s more, the Blue opposition to what’s going on is so weak that by the time people get woke to what’s going on, everything will be so transformed that we will have to start from scratch. I still believe that the old order is imploding and a new order is being born.
I just don’t know what that new order will look like. But I do know that Musk is moving fast and breaking things to the point that there is going to be no turning back. We’re just going to have to accept that we’re in a new age and see what pieces we can somehow use in a new way.
