La mafia Paypal et le Dark MAGA

*DARK MAGA*
If you're a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here's the breakdown:
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 basically controlled 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Says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that: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?
That's my Dark Ted Talk. Thanks for listening.

Le débunk
🤔 À nuancer
En 2007 un article du magazine Fortune met sous les feux des projecteurs la « Mafia Paypal »
https://cvc.li/FzwCo
En 2024, Fortune, encore, confirme l’influence des ex-Paypal sur la Silicon Valley, avec toutefois des guerres de clans
https://cvc.li/xutdA
C’est VRAi que Peter Thiel connaît bien JD Vance et qu’il a financé sa campagne sénatoriale à hauteur de 15 millions de dollars
https://cvc.li/vxCJd
Mais c’est FAUX de dire que Vance a été imposé à Trump. Il plus probable que Trump l’ai choisi pour obtenir les voix des « American Workers » de la Rust Belt
https://cvc.li/JSwWM
https://cvc.li/KrzZP
C’est vrai que l’idéologie de Yarvin est de privatiser l’Etat, allant jusqu’à instaurer un système quasi monarchique pour remplacer la démocratie
https://cvc.li/DnaVZ
Mais bien que Vance et Yarvin soient tout les deux favorables au « Retire All Govt Employees ", ils ont une approche différente, Vance plaide pour un limogeage massif pour placer « nos hommes » alors que Yarvin va jusqu’à une disparition complète des institutions
https://cvc.li/OyZrR
il est FAUX de dire que Trump est « leur outils utile » dont le Dark Maga pourrait se débarrasser. C’est peut être bien l’inverse
https://cvc.li/uHMew
Trump utilise la technologie pour asseoir la puissance Américaine.
Il procède selon les principes du « deal » avec menaces et récompenses y compris pour des ennemis de Musk (Sam Altman)
https://cvc.li/iYChG

En revanche il est VRAI que jamais les idées d’extrême droite n’ont été aussi proches du pouvoir aux USA. Mais il n’est pas établi que le Dark Maga va régner sur le pays.
