Musk’s Third Position
Zoom today, Noon PT / 3PM ET. Details below.
In response to the passing of Trump’s budget, Elon Musk has announced that he will form the “America Party” to challenge the “uniparty” created by Democrats and Republicans. His sales pitch is that his party is for the “80% in the middle” who feel unrepresented by the other two parties. This is (obviously) a lie.
Here is a slightly more honest agenda:
All of this is coded language for accelerating civilization towards a technocratic, neo-fascist, white supremacist oligarchy controlled by the PayPal Mafia.
“reduce debt” means eliminate the social safety net entirely
“modernize military with ai/robotics” means create Nazi Skynet
“pro tech, accelerate to win in ai” is pure techno-utopianism
“less regulation but especially in energy” means unfettered destruction of natural resources to accelerate technology above humanity
“free speech” means controlling the population by allowing psychological warfare to control the narrative
“pro natalist” is a white supremacist, misogynist, eugenicist ideology that promotes the idea that rich white people are so smart that they must have as many babies as possible
Musk is using one of the oldest tricks in the book—the third position. The idea is to fuse the extremes on the left and the right into a disruptive third pole that destroys the infrastructure controlling political power, so it can be usurped.
One of the most infamous adoptees of this strategy is Aleksandr Dugin, “Putin’s Brain,” who co-founded the National Bolshevik Party in Russia in the 1990s which literally fused National Socialism and Bolshevism into a single ideology. While Dugin’s ideas and their application have become much more subtle in the decades since, the basic conceit of using a syncretic mixture of ideologies as a disruptive force has not fundamentally changed.
Musk is blatantly employing this tactic in an effort to pull the anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist hard left into alignment with his eugenicist, white supremacist, techno-fascist worldview. The goal is not an alternative party, the goal is a death blow to the democracy that annoys him so much. He will use the former Twitter to create an alternate reality of support so he can control the narrative for the 2026 midterms. Here’s what we will see much more of: “In Elon We Trust (and In Government We Don’t)”
I’ve written several biographies worth on Elon Musk’s psychology, ideology and long-term goals, but fundamentally he’s a school shooter with hundreds of billions of dollars, a eugenicist psychopath who literally believes that empathy is a “virus.”
I created a more realistic logo for Musk’s party that I troll him with, feel free to use it.
