It's a technocratic coup in broad daylight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment

Arrogant Silicon Valley CEOs think the world belongs to them. They want liberal democracy to fail and transition to a "tech monarchy".

Quite frankly, I don't think the 2026 and 2028 elections will happen.

Look up Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, Steve Bannon, Marc Andreessen, and other figures involved with the "Neo-Reactionary accelerationist" Dark Enlightenment movement. One of Elon's little DOGE lackeys (Edward Coristine) has "there are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see" as his twitter bio. "Cathedral" is Curtis Yarvin's word for the "cultural hegemony" of universities and the government, hence why he wants to destroy the federal Department of Education especially as well as any federal agency and the federal government from the inside.

It turned out that the whole American experiment of tech-capitalism out of Silicon Valley was a huge failure and a existential threat to decency, stability, and order in the Western world.

Even Paul Graham will lightly chastise Elon Musk on twitter, but is largely fine with what Musk is doing.

You are correct. It's ironic that they wave the American flag and claim to be patriots, and yet no one hates the American government more than the Trump MAGA cultists who wave the American flag the hardest. The cruelty is the point. Millions of federal workers who are decent and hard-working folks will lose their jobs. Millions of poor people in the Global South will die, but this is what they want because most of these NRx insurrectionists are also racists and white supremacists, including DOGE staffer Marko Elez who had to resign for the racist tweets that were uncovered by WSJ. White supremacist influencers like Nick Fuentes, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Paul Joseph Watson, and so on have poisoned the world. And Elon Musk retweets these trendy white supremacists and neo-nazies. Elon even confirmed that the Roman salute was what everyone thought it was the first time with a meme, and then is interfering with Germany's election by pressing his thumb to lift up the neo-nazi AfD party. No one seems to care and Paul Graham is still friendly with Elon Musk. Billionaires will always stay pals with fellow billionaires. Fascism is essentially another word for corporatism. They want the government to be small and weak so that their corporations can be more powerful than the government.
