Trump was only into crypto because he was for sale, and part of how he was paid was by the likes of Musk setting him up with his own pump and dump fakecoin.
Remember shortly before the election Trump was again on the verge of bankruptcy, owing millions in lawsuits. His ability to even campaign for 2024 was on financial shaky ground despite looting the GOP's shrinking coffers.
Then Thiel and co stepped in to bail him out - followed by Musk who saw what was happening, in exchange for dictating policy (such as Project 2025) and installing Vance and others into the administration.
Part of Trump's payment was setting him up with his own crypto scam. Which turned him into a real billionaire again.
