> Why is populism doing so well on the right? Is that what the pools of money want?

I think it is. It’s hard to believe Musk doesn’t want China tariffs and he loves the hard right agenda. Those like Thiel have some deeply dubious views.

But it’s not so much the political views as the opportunity that exists at the moment. Give Trump enough money and you can do what you like.
