Elon Musk and a group of Silicon Valley allies have built a shadow campaign to put Donald Trump back in office.
…
Musk was born in South Africa, became a Canadian citizen and once admitted that his immigration status was in a “gray area” when he founded his first company in the United States. But in recent months, he became obsessed with a conspiracy theory that Trump and his followers were promoting: that Democrats were allowing immigrants to pour into the country to create more Democratic voters, in effect stealing the election. In the months leading up to the gathering at Peltz’s home, Musk helped spread the idea — a central plank of MAGA’s election denialism — across his own social media platform, X. (Musk did not respond to a detailed request for comment.)
Now, over a dinner of shrimp and lobster tails, he put the matter in stark, existential terms: Were Biden to win in November, the Democrats would use the ongoing flood of immigrants to create a permanent majority. If they failed to get Trump into office, Musk said, this would be America’s last free election.

I was ready to shit all over the New York Times because I didn’t think they’d actual talk about Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin/Mencius Moldbug but I’ll be goddamned they proved me wrong. I hope this gets disseminated in time, as dangerous as Trump and his folllowers are his most recent behavior showcases that at minimum the threat he personally poses has a time limit on it. Vance gaining control after Trump kicks the bucket will usher in an even more hellish corpo-cyberpunk future for all of us
