These highly dangerous views are almost a religion for Musk, Sam Altman (OpenAI / Stargate), Vance, Trump, and many Silicon Valley techbros... and is also possibly the fate of us all, unless we can comprehend and deal with what exactly we are up against here. Fascism isn't even the worst of it.

So many people having a hard time accepting fascism unfolding before our eyes, because they're not being fascist just for the sake of it. Yes they're megalomaniacs. But they're not simply being villains to scare us into submission - though that is a definite consequence for us and perk for them.

They have loftier goals. We are insignificant to them, and totalitarianism is efficient. They plan to colonize future time and space, they have already been working on it for some time already, now they have a green light to do whatever they want, at whatever risk and loss to us tiny citizens.

Anyone who isn't willing to bend the knee, or with the audacity to take up space advancing our own cause - people of colour, women, lgbtq+ people, disabled people, all other marginalized people - are getting shoved out of the way. It won't end by appealing to them in any way, that misses the point.

We're being sacrificed for a future in which they see themselves as the heroes of humanity. Probably even see themselves living on, generations from now, in their cryogenically frozen heads, somewhere in a data centre in space.

Yes it sounds crazy! But these are literally the kinds of visions and motivations these people have, and freely share, and have already talked about at length publicly. It's not a conspiracy. There's plenty of sources if you want to read about it.
