The Nerd Reich: TechLord Oligarchy
[Editor’s Note: From the prior discussion on cybernetics, AI and “what is human?”, I’m shifting to a new focus on the Tech Lord Oligarchy and it’s current demolition of the US federal government, and democracy itself. As Sinead O’Connor once said “Fight the real enemy.”]
The Tech Lord Oligarchy: This is the most important and revealing discussion I have seen on our current political situation. What Elon and DOGE and the Tech Lords are doing is destroying and seizing control of the US Federal gov’t, setting up a corporate dictatorship, and ending democracy, which they despise.
See the discussion below on Majority Report about Elon and the Tech Lord Oligarchy:

In particular, The Nerd Reich article entitled “‘Reboot’ Revealed: Elon Musk’s CEO-Dictator Playbook“, which explains all this very succinctly, is reprinted in part below:
[Quote] In September, the Heritage Foundation and particular San Francisco tech interests held a conference called “Reboot 2024: The New Reality.”
The New Reality
Analysis: What once seemed like a fringe theory is now being carried out by the corporate powers that have wholly captured our government. While there are some minor differences between Yarvin’s approach and Musk’s, here’s a summary of what they have in common:
A. Install a CEO Dictator
Yarvin’s Blueprint: Trump appoints a CEO to run the country like a private corporation, bypassing Congress and the courts.
Musk’s Moves: Acts as federal CEO, demands unilateral control over sensitive government programs, positioning himself as an unelected decision-maker as Trump stays in the background.
B. Purge the Bureaucracy
Yarvin’s Plan: “Retire All Government Employees” (RAGE) – fire career civil servants and replace them with loyalists.
Musk’s Moves: DOGE is gutting teams, demanding mass resignations, locking employees out of offices, and threatening mass layoffs in federal government. Meanwhile, DOGE is recruiting inexperienced young men who owe their loyalty to Musk/Thiel.
C. Build a Loyalist Army
Yarvin’s Blueprint: Recruit an “ideologically trained” army to replace experts and enforce the new regime.
Musk’s Moves: Surrounding himself with young, inexperienced loyalists who enforce his will without question. Project 2025 will also provide Republican cadre to run what’s left of the federal government.
D. Dismantle Democratic Institutions
Yarvin’s Blueprint: Strip power from federal agencies, courts, and Congress, centralizing authority under the executive branch.
Musk’s Moves: Undermining the credibility of the federal government, downplaying legal oversight, and defying regulatory authorities. Dismantling government agencies and functions with no plan for their replacement.
E. Seize Media and Information Control to Maintain Power
Yarvin’s Blueprint: Take over government, journalism, academia, and social media to control public narratives.
Musk’s Moves: Buying Twitter, firing journalists, boosting propaganda, and promoting fringe narratives while attacking traditional media. Leading the hostile tech takeover as Trump’s “CEO.”
Did I miss anything?
Conclusion: There is a lot more to say. What surprises me most is how the political press generally fails to inform the public that Musk is taking a systematic approach, one that has been outlined in public forums for years. (Some press outlets, like the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, are owned by billionaires keenly interested in kowtowing to Musk and Trump.)
We are witnessing the methodical implementation of a long-planned strategy to transform American democracy into corporate autocracy. The playbook was written in plain sight and is now being followed step by step. Some dismiss the Yarvins of the world as unhinged nuts, but that’s the point. These guys, with their bizarre and dangerous ideas, have gotten very far in 2025. Just look at the news.
Yarvin pitched his vision as a fictional or unlikely scenario. Unfortunately, it now appears to be our new reality. The press’s failure to connect these dots isn’t just a journalistic oversight — it’s a critical missed warning about the systematic dismantling of democratic governance. By the time most Americans understand what’s happening, the “reboot” – the destruction of government – may already be complete.
