So there was a lot of speculation about why he joined Trump's administration in the first place, a lot of people thought it was standard billionaire grift, a way to make money. Some people thought he was so vain and naive that he genuinely thought that he could fix the US economy. But some people wondered if it was just for attention and popularity.

And holy shit, looks like that last group was right. He thought being a politician would somehow make him popular with everybody. What a fragile ego he has, like, toddlers have more self-awareness and understanding than he does.

he's getting a lot of grift too. an early exit would probably signal putting the grift before the approval tbh, maga still loves him

It is incredibly weird how simple he is. But yeah, he is absolutely singularly concerned with his own ego, attention, and popularity. This whole weird stunt with Path of Exile 2 proves it
