There is a big fight in the MAGA group.
The essence and reason for the conflict is not money, shares, contracts, etc.
Elon Musk expresses the sentiments of a significant part of the MAGA base (and this includes both the nuclear electorate and elite groups) with the indecisiveness and inconsistency of the leader, Donald Trump. The leader is surrounded from all sides and is being prepared to be politically “shot from the numbers” in August-October. And the leader does nothing and seems not to notice anything.
The position of another prominent Trumpist, Stephen Bannon, who has always been “at odds” with Musk, is curious. Bannon also spoke about the need for more radical actions by the White House.
For example, he demanded the arrest of Senator Lindsey Graham (included in the register of extremists and terrorists of Rosfinmonitoring) for actions in Kyiv behind Trump’s back. Bannon took advantage of the situation and is now demanding that SpaceX (strategic, according to him) be placed under direct state control.
Anglo-Saxon political culture is based on public communication. Nothing that is not legalized in the public sphere is considered to exist. With an adjustment for the mores of the end of the first quarter of the 21st century in the United States, public discussion can be dirty, and specific words irrelevant. But, in essence, an intra-party discussion is open in the MAGA world
This quarrel is the first serious reflection of the problems that Trump began to have at the end of his 100 days of the second term. MAGA demands the blood of enemies and a decisive turn, and Trump is photographed against the background of the steering wheel, which may soon be taken away from him.
