Tin-foil hats cinched tight. This is not good.

    Gebbia spent six months at DOGE before taking his current role. The senior staff at the National Design Studio, when you pull the bylines from their blog posts and run the names against court filings, come back from the same place, DOGE, the same DOGE currently named as defendant in multiple federal lawsuits for letting engineers without proper security clearance access Social Security data and Department of Homeland Security data, and for sharing sensitive federal information with outside parties.

    The National Design Studio is not a successor to DOGE. It is DOGE with a better logo and a design philosophy.

    I’m going out on a limb here but maybe Musk wasn’t calling the shots for Project 2025.

      Elon is a fucking loser and all the other elites think so. He was begging Epstein to invite him to his child rape parties but literally nobody wants to hang out with him. Trump and the RNC used him for his money like everybody else does.

      Project 2025

      You know that trope in movies when the villain has the hero captured, and the villain explains his whole plan?

      And sometimes the movie is self-aware, so they point out how cliché the villain is being.

      This world is feeling a lot like that.

        Well considering we heard the plan before we gave the villain power, that cliche feels a lot more believable now

      Musk was doing the bidding of the Tech Bros. Project 2025 was a separate entity with sometimes overlapping goals. We’ve got a lot of villains here. Putin was/is supporting both factions monetarily and technologically because the goal of all of it is to tear the US down. Which is his main goal. Project 2025 wants a theocracy and the Tech Bros want a feudal state. They’re happy enough to have it be a theocratic feudal state as long as they’re running everything.
