You might be onto something. Rent boys like Musk and Bezos aside, I suspect some corporate leaders (most of whom intensely dislike trump on a personal level), may not be as willing to accompany the GOP stunts to placate voters pissed about prices not coming down next year.
Stock traders don’t care about anything but the bottom line. If profits tank then the stock price tanks. Investors won’t care if there are trump loyalists in a company.
That’s not how this works. When the tariffs hit and the immigrants leave the meat packing plants and farm fields, the costs and prices are going up big time.
I think that's also a plausible move for maga, they don't have an unwavering love for big corporations (who they perceive to be run "woke" elites), and rule no. 1 as a trumpist is "whatever it is, it's not trump's fault"

Hard to hide empty shelves.
it'll be the evil corporations price gouging, or being too bloated and needing to be made "more efficient"
then when they say they already have thin margins, maga will look at exec salaries
Poorer investors will blame maga. Traders read Krugman all the time.
