Can you imagine how often these guys have to simplify what they're talking about to get through to him? Musk is a moron too, but Thiel? Sacks? Not at all. And even Musk can at least, in general, understand the terminology when they talk about it.
Imagine trying to explain crypto or LLMs to Trump...
Are you kidding me, they are probably so happy to have a guy who knows zero about what they are saying. They can lie via omission and get permission for projects without fully detailing anything to the guy who doesn't want details. He rubber stamps their hateful shit because in return he collects a fee from them for the grift. That's trumps grift. He used to grift honest businesses but he's moved into grifting other grifters who grift the public via policy now.
I'm pretty sure it's mutual. Republicans are happy they finally entered the 21st century. They don't have to know anything. Now the magical modern machines are working for them.
I'm 99% certain Musk told Trump that he will use twitter algos to nudge targeted segments of the population to find those "11000 votes" he needs. Probably Zuck and Thiel did the same with Meta platforms and reddit respectively. Hence the final weeks of the campaign the republicans seems to stop caring at all. Just blow job a microphone it doesn't matter. The tech bros had fixed the election already.
