The press can not be this stupid.

Depends on what you mean by "stupid"

Wow, this explains a lot.

gayfabfourfan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Did he or they actually figure out it wasn’t the brightest move putting him so out front? Evil, shadowy billionaires are supposed to lurk in the background, not be in your face every five seconds reminding you of the evil they’re doing.

annecorio.bsky.social•1 day ago

Haha. Great point.

Even if he was really stepping down, it's too late. You don't get to chainsaw massacre the country and laugh about it and then walk away and live in peace.

Remember: It's not just Elon Musk. As explained in this Bloomberg piece, Peter Thiel's agents have been deployed throughout the government. The tech takeover of government may take many forms, but never believe for one moment that they are backing off or giving up

They say: it is always the quiet ones that you’ve gotta keep an eye on.

juliepinesnc.bsky.social•1 day ago

They have all of our information at this point. It was a coup and we are ignoring it because the mainstream media is terrified of a failed game show host in a fake tan and a bad wig.

How they shape the government is only part one of this story. They are almost certainly copying all federal data for themselves and will use it for their own benefit. They likely have dossiers on every single American.

Pure evil.

Thiel is an ideologue, which Musk is not smart enough to be. Musk is like Trump. Stupid but thinks he’s smart

Thiel is not impulsive, Musk is.

Thiel is more dangerous by far.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but we long ago casted Thiel as Oswald Cobblepot, right?

starlightwishes.bsky.social•1 day ago

Boss Thiel is still very much in charge of Vance - plus Thiel wants a colony on Greenland. And Bozo & Gates want to mine it. Andreessen is still helping to oversee Dodgy. And Sacks is still Crapto Czar.

And Muck is making his Starbase, TX Freedom City takeover official next month.

steveknapp.bsky.social•21 hours ago

It’s the beginning of Thiel’s Fourth Reich.

How do we get them out? Will midterms be too late?

exactly…

@jennifercohen.bsky.social has been doing excellent threads for years on these guys.

gilduran.com•1 day ago

Yes, she often links to my work in her threads.

westernwriter.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m so sorry, I saw that after the fact. 😬
Just started following you. 🙂

tracydaniel.bsky.social•1 day ago

We aren’t giving up either.

lluttig.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Yes. This can’t be emphasized enough.

kaikronfield.bsky.social•2 days ago

@jennycohn.bsky.social had a devastating thread about this earlier today. Their insidious tentacles run deep. https://bsky.app/profile/jennycohn.bsky.social/post/3lltxa5yr322q

Elmo has proven himself to be a terrible person. Even out of doge (which he’s not going to be without influence and dickhead drive) people want his life to suck….deservingly. Those were Nazi salutes, it was in him and had to come out

senhecke.bsky.social•1 day ago

Also these tech guys literally do this theater oh we are fighting type stuff all the time this literally doesn’t mean anything

It also strikes me as being pretty frickin lame that politico granted anonymity to three people so that they could plant a story that is only being published increase Tesla stock price 🙄

jfmac.bsky.social•1 day ago

And back doors into all our systems....

beefkazenzakis.bsky.social•2 days ago

Doesn't matter, Tesla is still going down. The people are going to make sure that Nazi brand stays radioactive. Fuck that Nazi asshole.

mariena91.bsky.social•2 days ago

He was the foil from the start. Break shit real fast. Get “fired.” Then the regime builds back the way they like with their people. Autocracy will seem cushy after all the chaos.

subluminal.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agree. He already controls many of our gov databases and a big part of internet access for governments and individuals.

citizenjustine.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly this. Sugar daddy really never leaves.
