Hard to see Vance as an heir apparent to Trump's faux-king crown. He is already despised on both sides of the aisle. As for Thiel, his advantage so far has been remaining out of the public view. Elon's reputation hasn't fared well since his public association with Trump and DOGE.

I am horrified but not surprised that soulless vultures are using an unspeakable school shooting to attack the transgender community. I feel it’s important to stand strongly in support of the many many wonderful transgender people I am lucky to know, and denounce this false outrage.
