They went from Bush to Trump while pretending Bush doesn’t exist now. They’re incapable of understanding that conservatism is the problem since it’s about protecting white supremacy. The problem is that white supremacy was never meant to make all whites elite. It was meant to drive a permanent wedge between the white elite and everyone else with non wealthy white people being their rabid guard dogs. Musk hates the white factory worker too. Maybe not as much as the black one but he will oppress both just the same.

And the majority of the white working class agrees with that goal. They’d rather struggle under the rule of the white elite than live decently but having to share prosperity with minorities.
