SBF was the second overall top donor to Democrats, only behind George Soros.

I don't even think Trump is all that "conservative", he just found a party he could control and as long as he gets his, he does not care beyond that.
From the exact link you posted,
> [Bankman-Fried] claimed on a November phone call with YouTuber Tiffany Fong that he donated an equal amount to Republicans and Democrats.
> “All my Republican donations were dark,” he said, referring to political donations that are not publicly disclosed in FEC filings. “The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the f—k out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.”
He's made promises he can't deliver.
He's pissed off the ENTIRE federal government.
His own people are bailing.
Trump admin told feds they can ignore the "DOGE" order.
He isn't an appointee, just an advisor (ergo no real legal cover).
He's a rich ketamine addict who is in so far over his head that he doesn't even realize he's drowning. I give him 1-2 months before the backlash builds to the point that Trump finishes using him as a human shield and discards him.
Seemingly the only people who don't realize that are the breathless headline-readers, and Musk himself. I love this place when it talks about tech, but my lord the political illiteracy is shocking.
