AnarchoNinaAnalyzesIf you want to understand the horrifying future these tech billionaire nazis have in store for humanity, it helps to understand what parts of our "glorious past" as a species they're looking to recreate. This interview with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign information sciences and media studies professor Anita Say Chan talks a bit about the history of data and eugenics, what it means that guys like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (along with most of Silicon Valley's movers and shakers) are devout believers in eugenicist philosophies, and how that's reflected in their efforts to reshape society in horrifying, and objectively fascist ways. In terms of our discussion about the uber rich fascists who heavily influence the Trump regime they bought and paid for, I'm mostly including this here to point out that these guys have gone on record in support of a lot of openly fascist shit and for the most part, your media pretends we don't already know these guys are nazis; it's not a secret, it's just not "worth mentioning" when media orgs are fawning over technofascist billionaires destroying our planet and our lives.<a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/01/eugenics-isnt-dead-its-thriving-in-tech/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/01/eugenics-isnt-dead-its-thriving-in-tech/</a>Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech"Big Tech successors like Musk and PayPal billionaire-turned-arms dealer Peter Thiel have overtly promoted fraudulent race science, with Musk amplifying users on X who argue that people of European descent are biologically superior. In response to another user’s deleted post suggesting that students at historically Black institutions have lower IQs, Musk posted, “It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE”—diversity, equity, and inclusion, misspelled. In 2016, Thiel buddied up to a prominent white nationalist, and, the same year, was said by a Stanford dorm-mate to have complimented South Africa’s “economically sound” system of racial apartheid."<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeterThiel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthAfrica</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nazis</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugenics</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigData</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Billionaires</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dystopia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Eliminationism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eliminationism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Technofascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Technofascism</a>

INFERNUM1488Elon Musk: Conspiracy Theory Elon Musk is one of the most famous and controversial entrepreneurs of our time. The founder of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and other ambitious projects has become a symbol of the technological revolution. His ideas on creating a sustainable future for humanity, space exploration and the development of artificial intelligence have received worldwide recognition. However, like any major figure, Musk has become the subject of various conspiracy theories that span his personal life, business projects and influence on world politics. One of the most popular theories is that Musk is hiding the true goals of his projects, especially in the field of space. It is said that SpaceX is not just developing rocket technology for commercial launches, but is also working on creating technologies for the colonization of Mars to prepare humanity for a possible apocalypse on Earth. Many proponents of this theory suggest that Musk has access to secret information that confirms the inevitability of a global catastrophe, and that his mission is to create a “Plan B” for human civilization. However, the question of how much Musk really hides his real motives remains open. He himself claims that his ambitions are related to the desire to help humanity, and not to the creation of some kind of global conspiracy. But despite these statements, his actions sometimes arouse suspicion among the public. One of the factors fueling conspiracy theories is also his relationship with government agencies. Musk actively cooperates with NASA, the US government, and also negotiates with other world powers on space research issues. Some critics believe that Musk actually works for the government, and his projects serve not only commercial purposes, but also the strategic interests of states, which adds even more secrecy to his activities. In addition, one cannot fail to mention his ideas in the field of artificial intelligence and neurotechnology, which cause no less controversy. In particular, the Neuralink project, which aims to connect the human brain with a computer, excites the imagination of many. Some believe that Musk is seeking to create technology that will allow him to control human consciousness, which means he has hidden plans to manipulate society. An equally important element of the conspiracy theory is Musk’s personal life. Some argue that his marriages, divorces and relationships with high-profile figures are part of an elaborate strategy to create an image of an "inspiring genius" to divert attention from his real goals. In any case, no matter how plausible these theories are, Musk continues to be a controversial figure. For some, he is a brilliant innovator and a hero who can change the world. For others, he is a mysterious and unpredictable person, whose actions may hide not only high ideals, but also hidden interests. Be that as it may, Musk remains one of the most influential and talked about people on the planet. Conspiracy theories about him can be both fiction and the basis for serious thinking about the impact of big technology on the future of humanity. Without clear answers to all the questions that arise around his figure, we can only watch as Musk continues to write his story and change the technological landscape, sometimes hiding deeper and more complex ideas behind it. Elon Musk: Village fool, ignorant, raider and plagiarist Elon Musk is a figure who causes a huge amount of controversy. While to some he is a visionary changing the world through his innovative companies, to others his reputation is far from impeccable. There is an opinion that Musk is not as brilliant as he is portrayed, and his successes are often the result of raiding, plagiarism and manipulation. Village fool and ignoramus Musk often positions himself as a self-starter who, despite not having a significant background in engineering or physics, has been able to build global companies. However, it is worth noting that Musk has a bachelor's degree in economics and physics, which for many is not at all an indicator of true technical competence. His university training might have prevented him from taking on such an ambitious role if not for his ability to manipulate money, marketing and public opinion. While Musk regularly touts his involvement in scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs, the real technical work at his companies is performed by highly trained engineers and scientists. Musk, in fact, remains only the face and main organizer of the processes, which does not exclude the possibility that his personal contribution to the company’s technical solutions is limited. One might ask: How much does a “CEO” really understand the intricacies of engineering work if his education does not have a corresponding emphasis on the technical side? Raider and plagiarist Musk is also often criticized for his aggressive business policies and accusations of hostile takeovers. His success in creating companies such as PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX was possible in large part due to his ability to capture other people's ideas and bring them to mass production, which gives rise to accusations of plagiarism. Take, for example, PayPal, which Musk joined in 1999 and later sold to eBay. PayPal was originally founded by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel and Luke Nosek. Musk, despite making a minor contribution to the technology itself, won the right to become the leader of the company and sold it for billions of dollars. Many argue that Musk simply used other people's ideas, brought them to successful implementation, and then simply monetized someone else's work. He portrays his role in PayPal's success as much larger than it actually was. No less controversial is his attitude towards Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla, despite the fact that Musk entered the company at an early stage, was not its founder. The founders of the company were engineer Martin Eberhard and entrepreneur JB Strobel, who created the first electric car based on their own design. Musk, having joined the company, actively took on the role of leader, promoting it as his own brainchild, which is sometimes forgotten by many fans and the media. Innovation or another deception? Musk is very adept at selling “great” ideas and projects using charisma and PR strategy, but many of his ambitious statements hide concepts that are not always feasible or often simple. For example, Neuralink, a project to implant chips in the brain, in which Musk is very enthusiastically promoting the idea of connecting a person with a computer, is at the testing stage and very far from mass production. Tesla, which has promised to revolutionize the auto industry, faces challenges related to vehicle quality, Autopilot and regulatory threats. Given that Musk often claims achievements that later fall short of reality, his reputation is one of being more about marketing than actual technological breakthroughs. Conclusion Musk is a controversial figure. For some, he is a charismatic leader, a symbol of the new technological world; for others, he is a fraudster and manipulator, using other people's ideas to achieve his own goals. Of course, Musk continues to influence the world of high technology, but his successes are often explained not so much by his genius as by his ability to present money profitably and invest it correctly. The question is how long his projects will live up to their big promises. Elon Musk: Pyramid on tech geeks and rich sons Elon Musk is not just an entrepreneur and innovator, as he is often portrayed in the media. His image as a “brilliant inventor” and “visionary of the future” is more reminiscent of a pyramid built on tech geeks and rich sons than the result of genuine scientific achievements. Pyramid on technogics Musk has always been able to cleverly use the people around him to achieve his goals. His companies are excellent examples of how he builds pyramids in which he ends up at the top, but they are created at the expense of equally talented, but less visible people. This is especially evident in projects such as Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla, for example, began as an idea of engineers, not Musk. Many of them, such as engineer J.B. Strobel and company founder Martin Eberhard, developed the basis of electric vehicle technology. Musk came in at a later stage and managed to invest money and also push the company to the forefront, allowing him to “stand out” as its leader. But it's worth asking: To what extent was Musk a true innovator in creating Tesla? Of course, he became the face of the company, but all technical achievements do not rest on his shoulders, and most of the decisions and technological breakthroughs belong to his team of engineers. The situation with SpaceX also points to similar points. Musk invested money in the company and became its head, but the main achievements in the field of space technology were carried out by experienced engineers and scientists. Musk has often claimed to be a person who “sees the future,” but the real work on the ground is done by other people. Musk is essentially building a pyramid with himself at the top and real engineers, scientists and employees doing the dirty work. In this regard, his success is mainly based on creating an image as a brilliant businessman, rather than on his technical contributions. Rich sons and capital manipulation Another key part of Musk's success is his relationships with "rich sons" - people with large financial resources who can invest in high-risk projects. Musk is neither the first nor the last to attract such capital to implement his ideas. But it is important to note that it was the ability to find rich investors and manipulate them that became his “main strong point” at the start of his career. The PayPal example perfectly illustrates how Musk became part of a team already working on a payment system. In this case, he was not the founder, but managed to invest money and then sell the company for billions. PayPal was sold to eBay in 2002, allowing Musk to become one of the most famous entrepreneurs of the time. However, other people played a key role in creating the company, and Musk, as a strategist and businessman, simply “launched” it in the right direction. Musk's ability to raise capital and leverage his connections is what brought Musk success in the first place, not his outstanding engineering or scientific achievements. In addition, his career is closely connected with venture capital and investments of large players. Musk has skillfully played the field of financial manipulation, which is certainly an important part of his career. Conclusion: The Phantom of Genius So who is really behind Elon Musk's successes? It is more of a pyramid, where he acts as the face to whom the world's attention is directed, while the real achievements belong to the engineers and scientists. Musk may not be a genius in the traditional sense, but he is a master of capital manipulation, image-building, and the ability to cleverly attract public attention. Its success most likely lies in the area of marketing and PR rather than in the area of actual scientific discoveries or technological breakthroughs. Musk is not so much a “brilliant inventor” as a high-class strategist who knows how to profitably use other people’s ideas, technologies and money in order to build his own empire. Elon Musk and technocratic fascism: the philosophy of technocratfascism Elon Musk, as the leader of the most innovative and ambitious technologies of our time, inevitably finds himself at the center of discussions about the future of humanity. But what if we consider his achievements and ideas in the context of a darker and more dangerous philosophy, such as technocratic fascism? Technocratic fascism, although not an official political ideology, represents a certain fusion of high technology and authoritarian, even totalitarian, forms of government. In this context, Musk, whose companies may represent the future of humanity, becomes a figure who, in his actions and ideas, can be interpreted as part of this movement. Musk as the leader of technocratic fascism When we talk about technocratic fascism, we must understand that it is not simply a combination of technology and fascist ideologies. This is the desire to create a society where technology and its development determine the rules of life, and science and progress become instruments of political power. Musk, as a person who, on the one hand, embodies advanced technologies, and on the other, actively uses his influence to promote his projects, can be perceived as a new type of “prince of technology.” In his desire to create "colonies on Mars" or a "global Internet" through Starlink, Musk evokes the philosophy proposed by technocrats: using science and technology for global control. He is on the verge of creating a new type of society, in which power belongs to corporations, not states, where progress dictates standards of life, not the choice of the people. Musk actively supports the concept of creating a post-government world, where private companies such as his Tesla and SpaceX are the most important players on the world stage. This turns Musk into an ideologist who, instead of national interests and democratic processes, primarily protects and promotes the interests of high-tech corporations, turning them into new centers of power. Technocratfascism philosophy The philosophy of technocrat-fascism has its roots in theories that argue that science and technology should not be used to improve people's lives, but to establish and maintain a strict hierarchy. Here, as a rule, technology becomes a tool to simplify control and dominance. Philosophers aligned with these ideas often argue that older forms of government—democracies or authoritarian states—are no longer capable of effectively coping with the challenges of modern times, particularly global issues such as climate change, technology, and artificial intelligence. In their ideal, society should be governed by principles of rationality and efficiency, with power vested in experts, scientists and technocrats rather than elected representatives of the people. Technocrat-fascism in this context involves a mixture of authoritarian control and ultra-efficient technologies that are used to implement aggressive social and economic policies. It aims to create a power-friendly society where citizens become less important than technologies controlled by powerful corporations. This may include digital surveillance, control of personal data, the mandatory introduction of technology into everyday life and, as a result, the complete subordination of people to a system that is increasingly becoming a system of total surveillance and control. Technocrats as philosophers of fascism Philosophers who support the idea of technocracy actively develop this theory. Among them are figures like Hubert D. Stevenson and other representatives of the early technocratic movements of the 20th century, who argued that a better and fairer society could be achieved through highly efficient technologies. However, if you delve deeper into their ideas, there is often an element of totalitarian control. The idea of a “global network” and “world government”, which Musk is actively promoting, is also not alien to technocratic philosophers. They believe that with the help of such systems it is possible to achieve global control and stability. However, this conceals the threat of creating new forms of power in which human rights can easily be violated. Musk and his influence on society Musk's actions, especially in the context of SpaceX and Tesla, with their ambitions to control global infrastructure (for example, through the Starlink satellite network), can be seen as steps towards the creation of technocratic fascism. Musk is building a world in which he and his companies become major players on a planetary level, and the rest of society comes under his control. Instead of classic government control over technology, we are faced with the creation of global corporations that can dictate the rules of life for everyone, where the power of corporations, not states, becomes the basis for building a “new world order.” This is the ideal of technocratic fascism, where science and technology become not just tools of progress, but also tools of global governance. Conclusion Elon Musk, thanks to his ambitious projects and vision of the future, has become the center of interest not only as a businessman and inventor, but also as a possible representative of technocratic fascism. By building pyramids of technology and investment, he is shaping a future in which global corporations can become major players in governing the planet. His ideas about global control, innovation and high technology could become the basis for a new type of authoritarian society, where the role of the ordinary person will be significantly reduced. Shadow Conspiracy: who came first - technofascist billionaires or donated Republicans? The question of who was the first to create a shadowy conspiracy that teeters on the brink of high technology and political power is of interest not only among politicians and economists, but also among activists, journalists and sociologists. At first glance, the two sides—billionaires building technocratic empires and political factions using finance to achieve power—appear to operate in different spheres. However, if you conduct a deep analysis of their interactions and goals, you can see interesting intersections that sometimes lead to joint interests and even coordination of actions. Technofascist Billionaires: The Beginning When it comes to technofascist billionaires, the most prominent figures are people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. These entrepreneurs are not only creating revolutionary technologies, but are also actively introducing themselves into areas that until recently were considered the prerogative of government agencies. Musk, for example, promotes ideas for the colonization of Mars, and his SpaceX and Tesla projects make him one of the most influential people in the world of technology. These companies, despite their apparent independence, often find themselves closely tied to government programs and funding. In this context, the question arises as to how much such independence really is independence when we consider interactions with governments and large corporations. The ideology of technocracy, as a form of authoritarian control, supported by high technologies and new social structures, is becoming increasingly noticeable in their activities. It is understood that billionaires, possessing not only funds, but also technological power, are able to implement their ideas on a global level, dictating living conditions not only for citizens, but also for entire countries. In this context, "technofascism" can be seen as a philosophy where the power of corporations, rather than popular representatives, determines the future of humanity. Republicans on donations: financing politics On the other hand, it is worth considering political parties and their influence through funding. In recent decades, the role of private donations and donations in the US political sphere, in particular in the Republican Party, has increased significantly. It's worth noting here that many major donors, such as the Koch brothers, have actively influenced political campaigns by supporting specific candidates, parties, and legislative initiatives. These billionaires are often involved not only in supporting elections, but also in shaping the global political agenda, especially on issues related to tax breaks, deregulation and climate change. Interestingly, it is precisely these financiers who begin to introduce technocratic solutions into politics, supporting ideas about minimizing government intervention in the economy, attracting investment in high-tech industries and stimulating the growth of corporations, which, in turn, begin to influence the life of entire states. The key point is that Republicans who receive money from such donors can support anti-government and anti-corporate initiatives, while in practice strengthening the position of corporate elites and helping them increase power. Intersection of interests At first glance, technofascist billionaires and donation Republicans may seem like two completely different groups, but in reality their interests often overlap. Musk and other technocrats cannot do without political support when developing their projects, including from those who finance Republican campaigns. It is also worth considering that political groups that receive money from such philanthropists often support technocratic initiatives aimed at reducing the role of the state in the economy and developing new technologies that are designed to solve global problems. It is important to emphasize here that Republicans, on whom many of these billionaires rely for financial support, often propose solutions that strengthen the position of large corporations and reduce the role of the state in regulating new technologies and economic processes. For example, in the United States, there is active discussion about how taxation and innovation controls can be optimized to stimulate the growth of large technology companies such as Tesla or SpaceX. Who was the first? Thus, the question of who was first - technofascist billionaires or donation-based Republicans - does not have a clear answer. Both of these phenomena arose simultaneously, since each of them cannot exist without the support of the other. Billionaires seeking to create a technocratic society need political support, which in turn often comes through donations and political influence. On the other hand, Republicans and their political campaigns would not be as successful without the active support and investment of large corporations and billionaires who are interested in minimizing government interference in their affairs. Conclusion It can be said that billionaires and Republicans, operating through shadow mechanisms, actively support each other. These “shadow conspiracies” create a symbiotic relationship where the economic power of tech giants and the political influence of corporations intertwine, creating the basis for technocratic fascism. Such an alliance has a huge impact on world politics, as it helps strengthen the position of large corporations and reduce the role of the state in the economy and society. Sad summary: The future we are building looks bleak as we watch billionaires and political elites unite in their quest for power and control. Technologies that are supposed to serve humanity become tools of manipulation and oppression. The influence of corporations on politics is growing, and every step in the development of high technology seems to be just another step towards strengthening authoritarian tendencies. We can only hope that this government does not get out of control and destroy the very essence of democratic principles and freedom. But, alas, there is little reason for optimism on the horizon. Optimistic summary: However, despite the threatening trends, the world is always full of opportunities for change. We, as a society, are capable of recognizing threats and finding ways to overcome them. Even in the most difficult situations, there is always room for innovation, for the idea of collective progress and justice. Technology can be used for good if society is more attentive than ever to its direction and role in people's lives. And, perhaps, it is in confronting dark trends that the strength of a new, fair world will lie, where technology serves the development and well-being of everyone, and not a narrow circle of a select few.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesThis late February article in The New Yorker briefly covers some of the same ground as the video above in terms of the Silicon Valley fascist influence in US politics, the close ties between the Trump regime and billionaire Yarvinites, and why rich tech nazis may see Trump's election as a vehicle to further their long-term efforts to establish private dictatorships by breaking the US administrative state and replacing it themselves. As such we can use it as supporting evidence for the Dark Gothic MAGA video, and to expand our starting point for discussions about the prominent role of billionaire fascists (of various types) in America and the larger Pig Empire's turn towards overt fascism and autocratic political forms. Furthermore, the author examines similar historical examples when technocrats with authoritarian political and organizational views merged with, and the case of Imperial Japan, subsumed fascist political orders.<a href="https://archive.is/eZy6v" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.is/eZy6v</a>Techno-Fascism Comes to America"For a time, digital platforms seemed to support democratic government as a kind of communal megaphone; but now, a decade later, technology seems to be supplanting the established authority of the government. “There is a crisis of the state,” McElroy said, and Silicon Valley may be “trying to corrode state power” in order to more quickly replace it.Silicon Valley is premised on the idea that its founders and engineers know better than anyone else: they can do better at disseminating information, at designing an office, at developing satellites and advancing space travel. By the same logic, they must be able to govern better than politicians and federal employees. Voguish concepts in Silicon Valley such as seasteading and “network states” feature independent, self-contained societies running on tech principles. Efforts to create such entities have either failed or remained confined to the realm of brand-building, as in the startup Praxis, a hypothetical plan for a new tech-driven city on the Mediterranean. Under the new Trump White House, though, the U.S. government is being offered up as a guinea pig, McElroy said. “Now that we’ve got Musk running the state, I don’t know if they need their little offshore bubbles as much as they thought they did before.”Given Elon Musk's position at the head of DOGE and thus his role as the de facto exchequer of what Trump considers his personal empire, but most still call the American government, I have no qualms with the way this article focuses on Elon as a representation of the creepy tech elites behind Downmarket Mussolini. In fact, the author's note that Musk's use of so-called AI to carry out the purges all of these nazis desire (for various reasons) might represent an opportunity to refine automated systems of repression and control for billionaire tech fascists looking to run their own neo-monarchal states in the future, probably goes a long way towards explaining why Musk in particular is so keen to run point on this whole project for Trump. After all, it's not a secret in tech circles that Musk has been looking for a way to become the leading figure in the "AI" industry, and what better way to do that than pioneering the use case for the "fascism machine" I've been telling you these rich nazis always meant "AI" to be?I would however, caution against reading as much into the split between the tech-fascists (as represented by Musk) and the faux-populist MAGA movement (as represented by Steve Bannon) as Chayka does here. On a long enough timeline, it's possible that the billionaire tech-fascists, the Christian Nationalist right, the Bannonite "populists," and other patchwork constituencies that form the larger Trump movement may be torn apart by divergent priorities and ideas about who really runs Bartertown; but given that they all agree on methods of operation, and they're all pushing towards some type of fascist order, I think we're a long way away from irresolvable differences tearing Trumpism apart. Besides, the fact that it's Elon Musk standing next to Trump and waving around a chainsaw, not Steve Bannon, tells you all you need to know about who won that particular power struggle in the short term.Frankly, I think the easiest way to understand the network of relationships, methods, and objectives of the various fascist power blocs in the movement behind Trump, is to imagine a minivan full of cartoonishly-evil nazis who're used to getting their way, all trying to control the activities of the driver, who may or may not be paying attention at any given moment. In this scenario the various groups of fascists vying for control of the vehicle Trump is driving are all on the same road, they all broadly agree on how to progress on their journey, but each of them intend to end up in different places by the time the drive is finished and they don't need the car anymore. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TechnoFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechnoFascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeterThiel</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CurtisYarvin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CurtisYarvin</a>
