Probably. If I were Vance, whether the Never Trump thing was genuine or I was just a power hungry asshole, I'd be positioning myself to look like the sane one in the administration so that I could remove Trump via the 25th in 2027 and be hailed as the guy who saved America from him. I'd also be egging Trump and Musk on to be as terrible as possible as publicly as possible.
