## Key points

- The writer sees signs of a post-election political mood shift.
- Several Trump-aligned figures and ventures face setbacks or distance themselves.
- The article excerpt ends before its Nvidia discussion is complete.

## Summary

The article argues that the political mood has shifted since the Republicans’ historic midterm defeat, after many prominent figures and institutions had aligned themselves with Donald Trump’s administration following the 2024 election. It presents a series of recent departures, reversals and controversies as signs that some of that support is weakening, while acknowledging that several developments may have begun earlier or may be unrelated.

Examples include the closure of Trump-backed LIV Golf, Russell Brand’s conviction and sentence, Elon Musk ending Cybertruck production, and Kalshi ending its partnership with Donald Trump Jr. Palantir chief Alex Karp criticised the administration’s immigration agenda, while OpenAI announced data-centre policies intended to address public and political concerns. The supplied article text ends mid-sentence during a discussion of Nvidia chief Jensen Huang, so it does not provide the full context for that claim.
