  1. "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."

  2. Just going to hypothesize something here... for posterity and accountability to weird strategic thoughts I have when I try to channel this Musk creep. The tech-bro's have already taken over. That is why they are now sending the DOGE teams with armed escorts and guns to smash small offices of the government. Trump is the vindictive figurehead. It's the tech lords running the show, and they're going to do a deal with China to get rid of Putin.

    I'm open to the possibility of something beyond shocking happening. There have already been rumors of revaluing the gold at Fort Knox, restructuring the debt, a national cryptocurrency...

    What about, a merger / joint venture with China and the US becomes a total one-party state, USA Inc. They'll leave the illusion of elections, and the Dems will continue to be the useful idiots as they have been for a decade.

    The game is no longer Dem vs. Rep. There will be no normal midterms. The struggle at the top is between the Christian Nationalists, the technofascist (Nation State) crowd, and the MAGA base that Bannon leads. Think of Bannon's people as the brown shirts they'll eventually use to silence dissent.

    Imagine a chip-access deal or some sort of organized takeover of Taiwan (stripping the island of its sovereignty in Trump fashion) over a set period of time for USA, Inc. to be able to scale semiconductor fabs.

    The culture war is a distraction. The rich are stealing the future. :earth: :NoNazis: :ExtinctionRebellion: :NonCommercialUS:

  3. @AndersGottlieb @VikingChieftain I guess the Greenland nationalists are pissed now. With Denmark they could realistically consider maybe breaking off, but being a US state they probably would never have that chance.

    But I don’t believe these are more real than an American Wrestling match.

    What they are, are #dogwhistles.
    This is Donald Trump telling the fans of ”North American #Technate”, which is popular in #farright circles, that he’s their guy.
