A political commentary video arguing that tech billionaires such as Thiel, Musk and Andreessen, along with figures like Yarvin, are using the new administration to push their agenda. It connects Yarvin's ideas with Project 2025.

HN commenters share it during DOGE and government-cuts threads as a summary of the billionaires' aims, though many only cite it as a reference.

Please, please everyone watch the incredibly disturbing video I link below. The video was created on Nov 14, right after the election. It is about the plans of 6 billionaires (Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks) who refer to themselves as Dark Gothic MAGA. The video regurgitates the words of these 6 men. Don't take anyone's word for it. Listen to their own words about their plans. Here is what billionaire Marc Cuban says in the video: >“… what’s happening in Silicon Valley is insane. It’s not so much a support thing. It’s more like a takeover thing. Trying to put themselves in a position to have as much control as possible. They want Trump to be the CEO of the United States of America and they want to be the Board of Directors that makes him listen to them.” Link: ▶ this video

Yep, here's a pretty good summary: ▶ this video Indeed I believe that the current administration's end-goal is the collapse of the US as we know it. Thiel and other billionaires need the collapse to create their own cyberpunk states inside current US territory. The remaining territory will be probably taken by Project 2025 guys, who want to rule it as a Christian theocracy / far-right utopia.

Musk et al.'s plan has been out in the open for a while. Lots of interviews and opinions from them the last few years, so I wouldn't even consider it an open secret. This video is probably the most succinct summary of it I've seen: ▶ this video It was made two months ago and has been right on the nose so far in terms of the phases in their process.

This will sound like a conspiracy theory, but this is the playbook of Curtis Yarvin, specifically the "RAGE" step - Retire All Government Employees. Some references: Watch the whole video (posted months ago predicting all these actions), but here is the relevant section: ▶ this video NYT interview: link Gil Duran did a lot of the reporting on this. link

I'm convinced that these people and in particular Jarvin read Snow Crash and want to make it reality. Video with similar content, shows them actually talking about their ideas and plans: ▶ this video
