Edward Luce of the Financial Times…
telling it like it is about Musk and Trump. Things couldn’t be any clearer.

So Burnley has been posting about this but it's really important to understand WHY they are doing this.
Trump and Musk are following a gameplan set out by the technocrats. Trump is behaving like a "Chairman of the Board" while Elon Musk is the "CEO" and it is Elon Musk, not Trump who is running the executive branch.
So Trump's job is to be ceremonial, and of course, create a lot of chaos and noise so people pay attention to what he's doing with Zelensky and immigrants, and ignore what DOGE is doing.
The #1 check on the power of the President is not congress or the judiciary. It's the federal bureaucracy who are politically neutral but loyal to the system. If you fire all of them, you can replace them with MAGA supporters who follow orders no matter how illegal they are.
This is absolutely a takeover to install an autocrat. But the catch is the dictator is Elon Musk, not Trump. Trump is a ceremonial figure. Elon has the real power.

@CountScrofula I have been posting about this:
https://similarworlds.com/public-figures/elon-musk/5235948-The-tech-oligarchs-and-their-ongoing-attempted-coup-of
The regime has racist elements, and that is essential in understanding it, but the primary ideology is the overlapping interest of techno-anarcho-feudalism.
Trump is the media figurehead. Musk is the actual figurehead and Peter Theil is most probably the strategist. Though he benefits from going along with this, none of this is Trump's plan. What this is is a highly sophisticated and premeditated strategy by Silicon Valley billionaires to re-engineer the American administrative state on terms that benefit them. Move fast and break things, Help the soverign individual and fuck everyone else.
With historically absurd irony, the Trump supporters who think they are making America great again are part of a move to accelerate the disentegration of the US nation-state and re-organise it under a corporate governance structure that has a sham democracy.
The two major influences behind all this are Viktor Orban and Curtis Yarvin. The Hungarian Nationalists who overthrew liberal democracy from within by controlling institutions, and the tech-bro fascist who laid out plans for turning countries into corporations.

@Burnley123 Enough to take action (although nowadays I’m not sure how that would look).
