What is Bannon going to do? Turn the base against Trump if he doesn't can Elon? Lol. The base does whatever Trump says is right. If it's Elon, it's Elon.

1. Trump no longer needs the little guys vote; 2. Trump no longer needs the little guys monthly credit card donations for campaigning, or more importantly his defense fund needs (among other things he is moving his defense team into the DOJ); 3. and so he is now free to foster his connections with "fellow" billionaires; 4. any MAGA little guys invited to Mar-a-Lago yet?

Bet: No question, Trump will go with the money guy, Musk. He respects $. And what does he care about the MAGA voters now that he is elected? A third term is possible via power, not via votes. If Trump believes one thing completely, it's that money equals power.

And I agree with the comment that money (oligarchs) now already controls our government - there was a brief shining decade or so between gilded ages where the distance between top and middle was not unconquerable, but it's gone.
