*DARK MAGA* If you're a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here's the breakdown: Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company that became PayPal. Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms. This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they basically controlled Silicon Valley. Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm. Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vance's successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience. Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign. The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug. Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled. He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator. Says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that: - Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs. - That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society - That the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves. The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E - Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating. Then to replace government with private corporations. To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete" To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance. Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control. This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA" This isn't a hypotheti…

My hope is that a day will come when We the People reject fascism and set about holding those responsible accountable for their decisions and actions. It is for that day that we make this effort.
