Elon Musk has backtracked on plans to remake US politics by launching a third party and instead wants to use his immense wealth to help JD Vance become the next president.
The billionaire Tesla founder intends to shift his focus back to his companies after a tumultuous stint working with President Trump and has become wary of upsetting Republicans, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Musk has decided to join other tech titans and rally behind the person they believe is the likely successor to Trump: Vice President JD Vance, who has made recent moves that suggest he will run in 2028.
This is obvious formation or announcement of Musk supporting and intending to be an integral part of the ‘Vance faction’.
If elected, Vance would be the public face of this faction, which includes Thiel and several tech bros, along with a large component of Jewish Supremists, many of whom are tech bros with dual or trilateral loyalties.
It might be a good faction. There is plenty of time for conditions to change or become more established. Or other factions to form in opposition.
I doubt Vance has anywhere near the presence, power, experience or skills Trump has, though he is a good talker. ABN
