Summary
JD Vance is actively working to raise his profile in the Trump administration after being overshadowed by Elon Musk.
During a recent Oval Office meeting, Vance took the lead to criticize Zelensky as “disrespectful,” setting up Trump to criticize Zelensky.
According to New York Times reporter Michael Shear, this confrontational approach is part of Vance’s strategy to avoid being “relegated to the B-team” in what has become “one of the most fast-paced and aggressive administrations in modern history.”
Also, according to recent reports, people hate working with Musk. Each company has people who, if he ever shows up, part of their job is to keep him from interfering with people who are actually working. He’s basically a toddler.
So, the point is that, if it was just their past of working together, you’d actually expect Musk and Thiel to be enemies.
I’m guessing that they do actually get along, though, for the exact same reason that modern day Nazis have to stick together.
Fun fact:
Thiel also called musk a socioopath.
