I'm beginning to think Project 2025 was less a detailed, well thought-out plan and more an incoherent screed of grievances

Isn’t Musk trying to do the Curtis Yarvin thing, which is not quite the same thing?

themamu.bsky.social•4 days ago

Very poorly, he only skims. The man doesn’t have any goals other than glory. That’s it. He wants the “gladiator cheer” from the masses.

It’s a narcissist with too much money and an inferiority complex.
It’s not hard to diagnose. The Nazi stuff, which…true is still used to gain favor from the only ones he has left…it’s the only high to his supply

I have for a while now said that at some point musk will spend all his remaining years trying to reclaim the almost universal admiration he had before he bought Twitter

a great article written about his acquisition of Twitter. That basically said it would destroy him

It’s been inevitable for anyone watching the finances of his companies. This is literally his last grab for power before he’s bankrupt from his highly fraudulently inflated stocks.

Any country smart enough would target him with sanctions immediately and nationalize any service (Starlink)

I’m available for consultation for free as it seems the DNC needs it

/ his own agenda

triggerloop.bsky.social•4 days ago

At NIH and NSF they are absolutely trying to implement Project 2025 but Musk has his own additional agenda it appears, including being a massive troll

featherhead.bsky.social•4 days ago

Big thing to remember with Musk, and Thiel is they're both operating off of Curtis Yarvin's rhetoric. Unsure if proj 2025 is also born from his derangement too but if so then so are Trump and Vance, maybe with an extra degree of separation. Yarvin is the American Aleksandr Dugin equiv imo.

It isn't a very detailed resentful plan of the destructionof all the things the Federalist Society and the JBS/MAGA leadership hated, but it was supposed to be smooth and carefully implemented. I think Trump really doesn't like these people but agrees with their goals. Musk is his answer

wildgorillaman.bsky.social•4 days ago

The FedSoc didn't give him $250 million, that's the only language he speaks

I'm trying to anticipate the next step. The Christian nationalists and the broligarchs are united in destroying democracy but not in instituting the replacement. Politically, it will be easy for the CN to toss Musk to the MAGA wolves, but if Musk retains backdoor control of government operations?

georgistsucc.bsky.social•4 days ago

the CN/Heritage Foundation faction has been neutered. The techbroligarchy and Moldbug-ists are running the show.

mateosfo.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think this mistakes the revolutionary vanguard for the governing coalition. Musk will be pushed out by Trump as soon as the original goals (obliteration of entire progressive era) have been largely achieved. Then Christian nationalists take over.

georgistsucc.bsky.social•4 days ago

If Trump becomes uncomfortable he will somehow be taken care of by Elon.
Then Vance will take over, and Vought will be expelled from cabinet, and probably the MAHA faction in the form of RFK Jr too.

georgistsucc.bsky.social•4 days ago

The techbroligarchy will not let that happen.
There will be at most some compromise middle path.
Trump is too senile to push anyone out, and Musk and co will just bribe less ideological CNs.

mateosfo.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Trumpist techbros are the most politically illiterate/incompetent/unpowerful people in politics. They have literally no idea what th we’ve gotten themselves into. Stupidest rich people in history.

mateosfo.bsky.social•3 days ago

And I take it you haven’t been much exposed to Christian nationalists? That will resolve itself in time but they truly are not interested in money. They don’t call them the “American Taliban” for nothing.

chelseanh.bsky.social•4 days ago

They have the systems, but their numbers don't compare to CN, who have adherents in the police forces and military. Blackwater is owned by Erik Prince, who is aligned with CN. They have different attack vectors available to them.

Project 2025 called for firing 50% of federal employees in the first year alone. Musk claims he's firing only 25%

disagree, he's trying to implement whatever r/ronpaul was talking about between 2009-2015.

ilikesportsmostly.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think Musk is the exception to "never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence."

karlrolson.com•4 days ago

Also, he's focusing on every agency that personally wronged him first because he's nothing if not petty as hell.

roryr6.bsky.social•4 days ago

He's doing what grok told him it was about
