Certainly agreed....and those are two of the biggest puzzle pieces on why the country is so broken. The 48% of the population not horrified by what Musk is doing are never gonna be in an information ecosystem where their current perspective will be challenged.

I think it definitely has room to drop, given he's clearly driving the most extreme actions of the past two weeks.
I could be wrong, but I think Trump basically wants punishments on his enemies, the ability to fire civil servants, culture war wins and quasi-mercantilism (although as this week shows he'll renege if markets respond poorly). Musk wants some literally insane techno-libertarian state that if not checked is going to crash the economy. Lots of folks speculating on an eventual falling out but IMO we better pray it happens sooner than later. Lots of people going on about Project 2025 but that document is fucking moderate compared to what Musk seems to be after.

I saw speculation somewhere that Trump is content to let Musk be a meat shield for bad pressтАж for the time being
I am not convinced it's actually as high as 48% but I agree completely with your overall premise
