Trump has to have some dirt on Vance. Trump chooses people based on loyalty first. Vance used to be a Never Trumper, and he’s being put in a position where he could Amendment 25 Trump straight out of office on day one and take the job for himself (and even has some plausible reasons for doing so). I don’t see Trump giving the job to him without having some insurance.
Does it have to be dirt? I mean, the Republican loyalty machine has determined that people will say quite literally almost anything the party wants the person to say.
Vance strikes me as a more clean-cut Alex Jones type. Not the kind of guy that sits in a tree seat to bow hunt a turkey to eat, but the kind of guy that pays do a canned hunt from a helicopter with a bunch of tacticool gear and an expensive knife, takes pictures of it, and has someone else do all the work of dressing the kill. Talks a tough-guy line, but that’s just it. Talks tough but just does it to get the views.

Or his position was bought by Musk and Co (Theil)
$45m/month announced right about the same time
Musk backed out of that pledge.
Standard musk behavior
can’t even stick with a favorite nazi
Like clockwork.
It’s not that complicated, yeah.
Imo i think its the reverse: the silicon valley tech bros insisted on Vance and Trump capitulated to get that sweet, sweet tech bro money.

That’s more “Alaskan Mayor” brand. Alex Jones is the guy who gets “downloads from god” to fight the “satanic deep state”.
