This is not new at all. People here have been fawning over Peter Thiel and PG for years without acknowledging how dangerous they are.

This is a much more natural alignment. Rich people backing Republicans to lower their taxes.

Elon Musk doesn’t care about abortion or parental rights. He is getting a windfall capital gain from Tesla, and wants his taxes as low as possible for when he sells. It will be the difference of billions of dollars for him. So paying Trump $25 million/month is peanuts in comparison.
