"#DOGE did NOT reduce spending – at all. But it did reduce federal employment; 271,000 people lost their jobs in the federal government"

"Because conservative Christianity is so tightly woven into the state’s political culture, #Musk and his fellow California exiles find themselves confronting a new ideological fusion, a blend of neoliberal economic policies and Christian-nationalist cultural ambition, rooted in the state’s long history of resource extraction and at ease with racism and misogyny."

"Where Trump’s first administration was defined by a generally symbiotic but tenuous relationship with #BigTech, the second would be, from the jump, a rancid union of #SiliconValley ideology and fascist impulse. [...]

"In many ways, the shameless about-face comes as the culmination of the #tech world’s open embrace of self-advancing cynicism in recent years."

The Long Arc of #Fascism Teach-in | Panel 2: Fascism as Capitalist Counter Revolution

"[T]he second panel turned to the present, mapping how fascism re-emerges as a reactionary force defending #racialCapitalism and elite rule against emancipatory movements."

"The reason why we ended up calling it 'end times #fascism' is because I think it gets at the narrative structure of all of these movements, and it is the same narrative structure as the rapture."

"Mr. #Musk’s grandfather was also a flamboyant leader of the political movement known as #technocracy.

"Leading #technocrats proposed replacing democratically elected officials and civil servants — indeed, all of government — with an army of scientists and engineers under what they called a #technate. Some also wanted to annex Canada and Mexico."

"[T]his #newRight does not really reject globalism but advances a new strain of it [...] The fix it finds in race, culture, and nation is but the most recent iteration of a pro-market philosophy based not on the idea that we are all the same but that we are in a fundamental, and perhaps permanent way, different." - #QuinnSlobodian

"People compare #Trump to Hitler or to Putin. But for us the closest historical comparison is Boris Yeltsin.

"So today we talk to #JacobSilverman about Trump’s #shitcoins and other #crypto schemes because they remind us so much of 1990s Russia and Yeltsin’s family corrupt deals."

"Why would the CEO of Tesla want to end a program that makes it cheaper for people to buy #EVs?

"Well, according to Musk, it would devastate #Tesla's rivals. And Tesla wants to keep its strong lead in the US EV market, which recently slipped under 50% for the first time."
