I'd bet on Musk winning this battle though, the MAGA plebs already used up all their usefulness, they elected Trump again, they're no longer needed, he doesn't give a fuck about them, only what enriches him and Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, who is Trump going to side with? Billionaires stick together. The only thing that will breakup Musk and Trump is a clash of egos. Trump hasn't got to deliver on fuck all he promised, he won, his fans saved him from his legal battles, he'll run 4 years then have a cosy retirement.

I predict RFK Jr will be booted before Musk because honestly he doesn't bring shit either. Of course Musk owning the biggest social media platform means he can just mute any opposing voices too, Lmfao. Not like we didn't warn people about the dangers of someone like Musk owning the platform, essentially the Republican Party owning Twitter, people cry about CCPs connections to TikTok but will look the other way when it comes to Republicans essentially owning Twitter via Musk.

I agree with your first paragraph. The racists got duped, and there's no reason to appease them anymore. Not to mention that the hardliner anti-immigration stance is irrational to begin with and can't be fulfilled even when any politician absolutely wants to, because the USA needs a lot of immigrants doing the work that Americans are unable and/or unwilling to do, be it in Silicon Valley or on the fields harvesting crops to be able to sell them at affordable prices. The MAGA threat of not showing up for the midterms means nothing. With such thin majorities that the Republicans have right now, the predictable chaos that a Trump presidency will bring will swing the majorities back to Democrats anyway.

Funny that it didn't even take until the day Trump takes office for the veil coming off of the oldest political game in the books: Get votes by putting the blame for all the country's problems on immigrants, then put your hands deep into the pots of federal money to enrich yourself.
