The more I've seen Trump over the last few weeks the more I'm convinced he's just a patsy and a front man with no real power. All bullshit and bravado, which most Americans love.
Think the real players are Miller, Thiel and Bannon. All doing the dirty work behind the scenes while they get Trump to spout his and their lies.
I'm sure Musk was desperate to be a part of that group but he was too much of a loose cannon (showing up at the White House off his head on Ket, Nazi salutes at rally's ect) so they binned him off. Even if Trump dies or gets binned off I don't think much will change which is fucking scary thinking about it
