100% I'm betting on Trump in this feud
- America is Xenophobic and will ultimately not let a South African call the shots.
- Elon is new in our political fabric with the tech-bro MAGA angle. The Evangelical / Heritage Foundation types have been planning this coup for too long to allow Elon or Thiel to take the reins suddenly. The Steve Bannon types want him gone
- Trump IS MAGA and is an American icon. Elon doesn't control the faction and lacks charisma
- Elon may have money, but that only goes so far and can be threatened/sabotaged
- Once again, America is Xenophobic. It makes me think of Marie Antoinette, where one reason why she was hated is that she was foreign. People tend to get their pitchforks for that person first before they really start hating the King. Think of that "if only the fuhrer knew" phrase. Elon has a lot of bad blood because of running DOGE, and Trump can pin all of that on him.
- Elon calling for Trump's impeachment or calling him a predator is already nothing new for MAGA.
- Elon may have his lackeys, but a lot of them are minorities themselves. Once again, I will guarantee that they'll use xenophobia against DOGE.
