Is Musk implementing Peter Thiel’s vision for a stripped down state that blends libertarianism and technocracy, whilst rejecting traditional democratic governance? /1

Their shared vision seems to build a polity that claims to prioritise individual freedom and technological innovation, but where in fact unchecked elite decision-making rules supreme #DOGE /2
It seems to me that Musk and Thiel are not simply aiming to capture the state, but want to bypass or dismantle it altogether to build something new in their own image /3
We shouldn’t underestimate the radicalism of their shared vision. What Musk is doing with #DOGE can be likened to open heart surgery without sedation. I have serious doubts that it will succeed /4
Musk and Thiel claim to hold values about creating some technological uptopian ideal but they just want power for themselves. And they've currently got it.
