Reality check: Trump pledged to end the program in 2016.
Called it. When push comes to shove, Trump is always going to side with the ultra-rich.

Trump doesn’t care about the Republican party. Nor does he honour agreements. Hell use them while they benefit him, financially or otherwise. Then dump them when it suits him to. He expects loyalty, he doesn’t give it. The question is will this happen before or after musk gets what he wants. Or if musk just wants power and has not got a single objective.
He can ignore the little people. He can’t ignore the people who saved his campaign. Even though this is his last term (probably), they can chew him up in other ways if he doesn’t fall in line.
Screwing over investors is his second favorite thing, right after screwing over contractors.
Right but now he’s playing with the big boys. This isn’t like when “Trump <whatever>” fleeced some rubes, now Trump is in deep with the oligarchs of the modern gilded age.
Like when he was president last time? Money isnt power. Power is power, and if the country falls far enough into autocracy, anyone who forgets that can take the fast elevator down from the 40th floor.
Screwing over the big boys who have the funds to fight back doesn’t mean he won’t screw them over. There just might be consequences for once.
