You bring up a great point.

Dump got a free ride from bankers and tech bro's, but the latter are bigly expressing regret

One word of advice for those in Silicon Valley who followed Musk’s lead and sided with Trump. Leave. Don’t delude yourself that you are working to make crypto a part of global finance, minimising artificial intelligence regulation, helping start-up companies or protecting the interests of Silicon Valley. You have no sway. You are just cannon fodder.

Completely predictable. He rolled in the hay with the tech bros, got his hacked election, got his entree into the slimy world of crypto and "Thanks for the ride, my true love is the maga troglodytes. And money., money, money. I can do without you very well"

Bankers? Leonard Leo? People say that Gemini's and Leo's (using the term loosely) make wild passionate partners. Not much about the breakups.
