Well, yeah, what I mean by a Night of the Long Knives is a purge, a consolidation of power where Trump is told he should eliminate some factions of MAGA that don't really align with the true goals of those running MAGA. I don't think Trump would go after Musk, because Musk seems the real golden goose and now appears more important to those that run/ride the MAGA horse than Trump himself is. 

The lower class of MAGA supporters, the voters, yeah, I don't think they count or matter at all to the people that run MAGA. They are the marks, the rubes, and sure they worship Donald, but I think the elected officials, the Tech bros, the billionaires that bought and paid for this, they think Trump is "the ridiculous corporal" that they parade out to say stupid things that appeal to his fans, Gulf of America, get rid of pennies, there are just two biological sexes, no more paper straws, just idiotic nonsense that is designed to make the rubes cheer, but literally does nothing for them. Nothing. It's all empty noise that hopefully is distracting them so they don't think about the grocery prices going up, gas prices rising, the economy collapsing, their rights being taken away, their services being taken away, the ability to have their kids go to a public school being taken away...don't pay attention to that, now you can buy plastic straws again (which as far as I know never went away), now you can yell in the street there are just two sexes (um, that never changed so nothing), and you can by a map (probably one that comes with Trump's name on it and he gets a cut of) that says Gulf of America on it. Wow, didn't that improve your life. 

Trump and his propaganda machine are trying out saying that "Paying higher prices is patriotic!" rather than saying "I'll lower your costs and get rid of inflation!"

Wow, will that work? If Biden or Harris told the public that paying higher prices was patriotic, the MAGA loons would lynch them. 

Musk and Trump and the top of the MAGA pyramid I think have no use for different factions of MAGA. Like Steve Bannon hates Musk. Bannon keeps claiming he is running a revolution for the people, for the working class, and he calls Musk evil, an evil man he is sworn to stop. Could be bullshit, but I see no use for Bannon under the Musk led MAGA. Plus Musk is destroying things, he is actively taking from the poor to give to the rich. Bannon is a useless noisemaker now and not the noise Musk wants made. 

I think they are following the Nazi playbook to try to make this a single party country, then pledge loyalty to the party or you will be punished but I think some of the first people they punish, that they purge, will be people that were loyal to MAGA but don't actually fit with the "Musk" agenda. 

I feel like this is Musk's party. Trump to me, every time I see him now, looks exhausted and sounds confused. They hand him things to sign, he signs them and goes on a weird ramble. Musk is trying to rampage through the government with a bunch of kiddy hackers, stealing things, shutting things down, breaking things, and directing the money into his pockets and the pockets of the super rich. 

Musk promised suffering for the masses and he damn sure is looking to deliver that. Trump is signing whatever they put in front of him and yammering about paper straws. 

I went to the grocery store last night to buy coffee and a 10 ounce bag of coffee that was $8.99 just last week was $11.99 last night. That is not going to make the MAGA rubes happy. They will notice that and they are not going to think paying $11.99 for something they paid $8.99 for a few days ago is "patriotic."

I think, maybe, what could happen is Musk's MAGA, the billionaire tech bro class, might want to cull the herd...because he thinks he does not need these people and they are going to bitch way too much to make them worth having around. 

I believe I read that during the Night of the Long Knives when Hitler signed off on sending people out to conduct executions, some of the lower rabble actually saluted and yelled "Heil Hitler!" as they were shot. I can see the lower level MAGA loons doing that as Musk and Trump remove them.
