I asked Grok 'Is there a Trotskyist-Neocon connection?' Here's the answer: Yes, there is a historical and ideological connection between certain Trotskyist intellectuals and the later emergence of neoconservatism in the United States, though it is not a direct organizational lineage or a conspiracy. It is best understood as a trajectory of political evolution among a specific group of New York intellectuals from the 1930s to the 1970s.
