    Certainly.

    But these aren’t simply Bush / Cheney climbers. They’re true believers who think Trump’s win is a sign of Divine Providence.

        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.

          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.
