A political commentary video arguing that tech billionaires such as Thiel, Musk and Andreessen, along with figures like Yarvin, are using the new administration to push their agenda. It connects Yarvin's ideas with Project 2025.
HN commenters share it during DOGE and government-cuts threads as a summary of the billionaires' aims, though many only cite it as a reference.

Please, please everyone watch the incredibly disturbing video I link below. The video was created on Nov 14, right after the election. It is about the plans of 6 billionaires (Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks) who refer to themselves as Dark Gothic MAGA. The video regurgitates the words of these 6 men. Don't take anyone's word for it. Listen to their own words about their plans. Here is what billionaire Marc Cuban says in the video: >“… what’s happening in Silicon Valley is insane. It’s not so much a support thing. It’s more like a takeover thing. Trying to put themselves in a position to have as much control as possible. They want Trump to be the CEO of the United States of America and they want to be the Board of Directors that makes him listen to them.” Link: this video
I love articles that give me a magic sentence right at the front that tells me I don't need to read any more I wish this were a laughing matter, but it's not. These people appear to be quite serious and quite capable. There's a coalition in play that includes the Project 2025 authors among others, operating at a scope that a lot of people don't fully appreciate. If this coalition holds together, they may be able to execute what many would consider a rather frightening agenda. Despite its cheesy title, this video ( this video ) offers an interesting perspective on Balaji Srinivasan and his place in a larger web of influence alongside people like Yarvin, Musk, and Vance. It's eye-opening. She released it back in November and promptly took a lot of flack from people calling her alarmist and conspiracy-prone, and now it's basically playing out in real time.
I would like to see some discussion on the Dark Gothic Maga video (How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America) this video On one hand it comes across like a conspiracy video, but on the other hand she plays direct video clips of major tech figures talking about dismantling the government and dividing the world into small nation states. Trump and Musk have also both stated they want to eliminate large amounts of the federal government. I would love to get some perspective from those who have personally interacted with those people over the last 10 years. This video probably falls under what you consider "activating", but it seems like we need to have conversations around this type of issue rather than letting rational voices get drowned out by the sea of angry shouting.
Yep, here's a pretty good summary: this video Indeed I believe that the current administration's end-goal is the collapse of the US as we know it. Thiel and other billionaires need the collapse to create their own cyberpunk states inside current US territory. The remaining territory will be probably taken by Project 2025 guys, who want to rule it as a Christian theocracy / far-right utopia.
This will sound like a conspiracy theory, but this is the playbook of Curtis Yarvin, specifically the "RAGE" step - Retire All Government Employees.
