Nah, billionaires have class solidarity that transcends nationalist sentiment.
In America, at least, we’re seeing a rising tide of white nationalism among the mega-rich. There was a point in which I’d agree with you. The Clintons would break bread with anyone whose checks didn’t bounce (Donald Trump, for instance). But your Musks and Thiels and Lutnicks and McMahons are going in a very different direction.
Billionaires from East Asia and billionaires from the West all vacation in places like Dubai
Even Dubai ain’t what it used to be. Consider the kidnapping and murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan.
But your Musks and Thiels and Lutnicks and McMahons are going in a very different direction.
Eh, I think that’s mostly just crowd work. They’re just the types who use the right as a vehicle because they know they’re easier to control and they hate taxes.
Eh, it’s the same old same old. When people like musk and thiel are in his good graces they stand to make hundreds of millions in graft and even more by manipulating regulatory bodies in their company’s favour.
They may project crazy beliefs or even truly hold them, but all of their beliefs fall away when compared to their underlying belief in profit.

Certainly.
But these aren’t simply Bush / Cheney climbers. They’re true believers who think Trump’s win is a sign of Divine Providence.
Idk, I still think they’re just doing that because that’s what trump demands for a seat at the table.
I wish. It’s more the reverse. The whole reward of getting a seat at the table means whispering a new flavor of madness into Trump’s ear.
