A while back you said that your impression of Trump and Musk was that (especially with the latter's Pepe-posting) Musk seems to have taken on the mantle of "The Changer", while Trump seemed to be in the early stages of channeling a different archetype.
The data point I have to offer is this: While, for years, "Trump = Hitler" seemed to be the national anthem of the deranged would-be resistance, a great deal of that energy seems to now be directed at Elon Musk. I hear about his alleged Nazi Party Membership almost as much as I hear about Trump, at least from the portion of that scene where I can have my ear to the ground. So, that much seems to be bearing out.
My question: What Archetype do you believe is now being channeled by Trump? Personally, I hope that it is some sovereign spirit of America that will get us pointed in a better direction, but I am trying not to let that cloud my vision!

Thanks again for all of these.
