We look at the still-breaking messy breakup between Trump & Elon Musk, discuss Musk’s political future and just how much Trump can make him hurt if he wants. We also catch up on last night’s debate for the NYC mayoral race, Zohran’s momentum, and the challenges posed by the position of big city mayor. And for this week’s reading series, we’ve got the long New Yorker profile on Curtis Yarvin: a “dark elf” intellectual titan of the right, or a know-it-all child giggling at naughty words on his phone?
