The “MAGA civil war” is real. So are Elon Musk’s daddy issues.

Hello friends,

It should have been a quiet holiday week. I hope you have had some time to relax with loved ones despite the massive, embarrassing clash over who is actually the President-elect. ICYMI, we got an answer — “The Elon” Musk.

The issue of H1-B visas was just one small crack that will reveal a chasm between the ideologies of MAGA on one side, and the “Dark Enlightenment” — which drives Musk, Thiel, Sacks, Marc Andreesen and the rest of the Silicon Valley broligarchy — on the other. This is traditionalism, embodied by people like Steve Bannon and Mike Flynn, versus the eugenicist techno-fascism of the PayPal Mafia.

These two ideologies cooperated for a few months to seize the presidency (again), but now they are positioning for how best to split up the winnings. The revelation by Errol Musk that his son’s entire Mars hoax is lifted from a sci-fi book by a Nazi rocket scientist called Marsprojekt, should tell you how far away Elon Musk & co. are from Joe Sixpack.

Zoom call today at Noon PT / 3PM ET to discuss all this and anything else you want to talk about. I’ll walk through these clashing belief systems and try to help untangle what it actually means to you and me that we’re collateral damage from Elon Musk’s daddy issues. Hope to see you!
