I know a few people who stick by him in spite of everything. Unsurprisingly, they are in financial positions that mean they will not bear the burden of his reckless policies for a while yet. I wonder what it will take for them to understand that they are being hurt, too, and that there are reasons for him to go after them if (when) he wants to, because for a person with such an appetite for vengeance there are always reasons. That he is breaking at least as many campaign "promises" as he is keeping is immaterial to them. (I shudder to think what they think of Musk; I haven't spoken to them since the election.)

Trump has no party, no ideology, no beliefs. He and the cronies he has enlisted are a danger to us all. Without our forceful, continuous resistance, his all-consuming love and hatred of himself will destroy my home country and do irreparable damage to global geopolitics, the climate, essentially everything we hold dear. I wish I were exaggerating.
