- Trump and VanceThe billionaire class needed a loyal voice inside the White House - they got two. Trump holds the megaphone; Vance holds the ideology. Neither answers to the voters who put them there.
- Musk and VanceThiel’s money made Vance a senator. Musk’s platform made him a media figure. Now Vance sits a heartbeat from the presidency and Musk runs a shadow government through DOGE. The investment has paid off spectacularly.
- Rubio and VanceTwo men who despised Trump before they needed him. Both ended up in the Cabinet anyway. The ideological flexibility required was total - and neither of them blinked when the moment came.
- Thiel and VanceThe venture capitalist wrote the check that bought the Senate seat. The senator became the Vice President. Return on investment: direct access to the nuclear codes, the federal budget, and the levers of American foreign policy.
- Leavitt and VanceShe says the words. He provides the theory. Together they make authoritarianism sound like common sense.
