Confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE?

If you’re a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here’s the breakdown:

ALLEGEDLY,

Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company that became PayPal.

Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms.

This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they exerted an outsized influence on Silicon Valley.

Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm.

Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vance’s successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience.

Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign.

The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug.

Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent “The Cathedral” that secretly controls power and must be dismantled.

He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator.

Says that Democracy is an “outdated software” and openly opposes it and that:

  • Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into “patchworks” controlled by tech oligarchs.
  • That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to “fix” society
  • That the “masses are asses” too dumb to govern themselves.

The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E – Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating.

Then to replace government with private corporations.

To eliminate elections because they are “obsolete”

To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance.

Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control.

This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are “Dark MAGA”

This isn’t a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:

  • Musk, Thiel, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.
  • JD Vance, the “MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.
  • The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.
  • If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state.

That’s it. Now that you understand that you can see how everything that’s happening fits within that lens.

Now the only question is what do we do about it?

TRUMP’S BILLIONAIRES WILL ACCELERATE AMERICAN DECLINE.

DR. RICHARD WOLFF EXPLAINS HOW.

“The road we are on [as] a declining empire, becoming more and more unequal… you don’t need rocket science to understand that’s not sustainable. That situation is going to blow up, and it’s not going to be pretty.” JANUARY 28, 2025

There’s an old scene that comes to my mind to explain this. It’s in the cowboy movies we all saw when we were younger. It’s when the sheriff can’t prevent the bad guys from riding into town and robbing the bank. And there he looks. The useless sheriff didn’t stop it. So he says, with great bravado, round up the usual suspects. He wants to look like he’s tough because that’s better than looking like the failure he was.

**Stephen Janis: **That’s a really good point.

**Dr. Richard Wolff: **[Crosstalk] Trump has been the president before. Let me assure you, during his time as president, inequality in the United States, by all its measures, got worse. Now I don’t want to be unfair — They got worse under Biden too, and they got worse under Obama too, so he is not outstanding. But did he stop it? Not at all.

The tax cut that he gave in December of 2017, the first year of his office, was the worst blow to equality we could have had — Made the government bankrupt because it didn’t have all the revenue that corporations and the rich no longer had to pay. So the government had to borrow, growing the deficit. And who did it borrow from? The corporations and the rich. The money they didn’t have to pay in taxes, they turned around and lent to the government instead, which means we the people are on the hook to repay all that money plus interest because our leader, Mr. Trump, gave them that tax cut. Instead of being shamed, he goes around celebrating it. And we live in a country — And this scares me, this is what’s scares me —
