Why I don't think Elon will get or go very far with either his new "party" or vendetta against Trump

The moment Elon starts hurting Trump in any meaningful manner, all the potential crimes and violations the DOGE, under Musk, are alleged to have committed will be investigated thoroughly by the FBI and Elon will face potential prosecution and imprisonment. There's no rule that says the lawless can't or won't use the law to their advantage. Talk about leverage. Trump has more than Musk.

Note: I wrote alleged, but, of course, my opinion is they violated multiple Federal laws.

but mostly their reactions are not really things planned out.

It's becsuse they have huge egos and high amount of insecurity.

want Trump gone. Vance is only there because of Thiel and Musk probably supports Vance as well, and he would just get a pardon from Vance. Putin must be super pissed that Trump didn’t know about the drone attack. I think Trump is increasingly useless to the technofascists and believe they’re working to get him out.
