If 3 years ago someone told you that Trump would give Elon Musk the mandate to dismantle the US government and RFK would be secretary of health, you would have called him a lunatic.
I couldn’t have seen the RFK one coming, but I’ve been following the dark enlightenment fascist tech oligarchs and their theorists for over a decade. They’ve had a vision for the future and plans to execute it for years. It wasn’t even secret. The tech oligarchs at Trump’s inauguration who bought this election have an over one trillion dollar net worth.
The Point: In 2022, one of Peter Thiel’s favorite thinkers envisioned a second Trump Administration in which the federal government would be run by a “CEO” who was not Trump and laid out a playbook for how it might work. Elon Musk is following it.
The Back Story: In 2012, Curtis Yarvin — Peter Thiel’s “house philosopher”—called for something he dubbed RAGE: Retire All Government Employees. The idea: Take over the United States government and gut the federal bureaucracy. Then, replace civil servants with political loyalists who would answer to a CEO-type leader Yarvin likened to a dictator.
“If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia,” he said.
Yarvin, a software programmer, framed this as a “reboot” of government.
Elon Musk’s DOGE is just a rebranded version of RAGE. He demands mass resignations, locks career employees out of their offices, threatens to delete entire departments, and seizes total control of sensitive government systems and programs. DOGE = RAGE, masked in the bland language of “efficiency.”
Right now I can’t find any reason to exclude this possibility honestly
I can only imagine that years of nonstop BlueAnon conspiracy propaganda brought you to imagine it as a possibility.
