What do you think the chances are that they will turn on each other? [View all]

I keep thinking about all of the narcissists, egos, and testosterone we have going on at the top. There is the supreme narc, Donald Trump, and the idiot dynasty of Don, Jr., et al. Then you have Elon Musk, who thinks he alone should populate the world, and has all the money in the world. J.D. Vance, protege of Peter Theil who espouses Curtis Yarvin and some type of New World Order. And lastly, RFK, Jr. the batshit crazy spawn of the Kennedy's who is convinced somehow he is entitled to his place in history because of his family.

What could go wrong here?
