It’s by no means an excellent time to be JD Vance.
However now it’s an particularly unhealthy time to be him.
As a result of Daddy Trump and Daddy Musk are preventing, and he’s going to have to choose a facet, and there aren’t any good choices—which maybe is why the extraordinarily on-line veep has gone very, very, very quiet.
Vance isn’t simply the vp, in spite of everything. He’s the vp to a loopy, unhinged, vengeful sum’bitch who despatched a murderous mob after his first vp and relished their bloodlust.
Absolutely, in some unspecified time in the future in Vance’s decision-making about whether or not to tether himself to Trump’s fortunes, he will need to have imagined, for no less than half a second—even when he didn’t wish to admit it—that maybe sooner or later an offended crowd might discover its approach to chanting “Hang JD!” simply as simply because it as soon as chanted “Hang Mike Pence!”

So, actually it’s best to facet with Daddy Trump.
However alternatively, Trump received’t be round without end. Irrespective of how a lot he threatens it. And if Vance nonetheless goals of calling himself president sooner or later, he’s going to wish some monetary help. Maybe the sort of tech bro billionaire cash he’s been so actively courting all these years. And who has extra of that cash than Elon Musk?
Actually nobody.
In the meantime, Musk has made it completely clear in his too-online manner what he thinks ought to occur.
No, the Republican-controlled Home isn’t about to question Trump, and undoubtedly no, the Republican-controlled Senate isn’t about to convict Trump, and completely no, Vance just isn’t going to be changing Trump now.
If Vance picks the suitable facet now, possibly sooner or later he’ll get his likelihood, with Musk’s katrillions of {dollars} serving to him to get there. However which facet is the suitable facet?
If he wraps himself round Daddy Musk and incurs the wrath of Daddy Trump, will he get the possibility to money in three years from now?
Pity poor Vance, the man who used to assume Trump was Hitler till Trump supplied him the tremendous candy job of being Pence’s alternative.
Because the ugliest of ugly divorces rages on between his two masters, no marvel he’s conserving his mouth shut.
