The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!
This would be the most any person has donated in any election cycle. And #2 is also Musk, in 2024.

The main story of the GOP over the past decade is the takeover of the party establishment by people who actually believe the nonsense they formerly deployed to rile up the rubes without actually buying into it themselves.
Just been such a revolution in my worldview to realise that people like Musk actually believe this, this isn't just the nonsense they feed the rubes so they can do coldly rational mercantile calculations in smokey rooms among themselves. No. It's rubes all the way down, they're that stupid.
