'Dark MAGA' spreads as conservatives embrace Musk's influence on Trump

At an annual gathering of conservatives, the emerging influence of billionaire Elon Musk on President Donald Trump was on display.

The article from Newsday discusses the intertwining of former President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and various political and cultural elements at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Trump, who has been indicted on 91 felony counts, remains a central figure at CPAC, where he is expected to speak and where his influence is palpable. The conference has become a platform for Trump's continued political presence, with attendees showing strong support through MAGA-themed merchandise and discussions. Elon Musk's involvement is highlighted through his interactions with Trump, including a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, and his controversial decisions with Twitter, now known as X, which have aligned with right-wing sentiments by reinstating previously banned accounts like that of Trump. The article also touches on the broader implications of these alliances, including the spread of conspiracy theories and the mainstreaming of fringe political ideas, exemplified by the presence of figures like Steve Bannon and the use of symbols like the Doge meme, which has been co-opted by some Trump supporters. This convergence at CPAC underscores a significant moment where technology, politics, and cultural phenomena intersect, reflecting the ongoing influence of Trump and the evolving landscape of conservative politics in America.
