This entire Musk/Trump episode was to plant the seeds to get rid of Trump and get Vance in. Great forces at work here, nothing is ever what it seems. Thiel, A16z, et al all have Musk's back.

Just saying...

You’re saying you think Thiel is pulling levers to get Vance in so that he can drive more directly?.. or what exactly is the conspiracy you’re alluding to here.

  • Not just Thiel, but others too. Vance is their boy, it was always the plan. This isn't over; it just started.

    • After having been in the room with Thiel, I’ve come to the conclusion he’s as adept at 4D chess as Elmer Fudd was at hunting wabbits.

      Stop assuming the rich and powerful are also smart and competent. Those are not related properties.

I'm not really looking forward to corporate totalitarianism via either path. But at least with the techbrats at the helm the US would still remain a relative world leader, as opposed to the societal suicide that Trump (or his brain worms) are seemingly going for.
