    He’s always been team Elon, and team Elon also likes to be contrarian and ‘edgy’, so that aligned with being pro Trump. He also wants to ditch government spending and regulation, which aligns to a claimed GOP principle (though they love spending so it’s a lie).

    He basically wants a party to represent the perspective of ‘screw poor people’ as it’s one and only tenant.
