The alt righters on social media are huffing copium.
Their favoured interpretation is 5d chess:
They're faking this row to flush out disloyal followers.
Commentators are throwing up a range of ideas.
The deeper thinkers who I've come to trust believe something like this.
Trump tolerates Musk and the other tech-bros as a necessary walking wallets and nerd herders.
Vance is the billionaires' puppet.
If the techies hang together (IF - I don't believe there's much love between clown Musk and the others)..
They believe the billionaires will attempt to roll Trump over and install Vance.
A more refined view is that Peter Theil (Vance's handler) will step in as a low profile Musk replacement.
Theil is reputed to be a full fat fascist, who will urge closer ties with Europe's far right parties.
He is believed to be patient, waiting for nature, and gaffes to perform a proxy impeachment.
But with these wackos at the wheel, who knows.
