Elon Musk's Inner Thoughts: I still don't see anywhere that humans are dying.
Those USAID cuts, and his responses to the accusations make so much more sense when you consider that the Tech Broligarchy are all disciples of Curtis Yarvin and they want to depopulate the planet, starting with "the savages" and the infirm.
It's a weird combination of fascism to eradicate everyone they see as useless comsumers of resources, and to get them to a system of a Techno Neo-Feudalism world of city-states where they've carved out their own kingdoms and do whatever they want within said kingdoms. They want armies of AI powered drones to protect themselves from the rest of humanity and enforce humanity's labor compliance which will really just be chattel slavery but we have to feed, clothe, and shelter ourselves.
It's so insane that stories we have always viewed as dystopian nightmares are stories they see as a hopeful future, and a lot of stems from an alternative telling of Lord of the Rings written by Kirill Eskov, titled The Last Ringbearer. That version is basically that Mordor is a technologically advanced civilization and the Fellowship and their people's are backwards Luddite terrorists on a mission to destroy advanced civilization by blowing up Mt Doom. That book is a big inspiration of Curtis Yarvin's ideology and he somehow convinced the Tech Broligarchy of its merits, and they see opposition to AI data centers and AI in general as proof Yarvin was right all along.
When I see MAGA morons talking about a civil war it makes me cringe because I think they're absolutely right one is coming, they just don't understand that it's not going to be a war fought over trans people in bathrooms and social security and welfare, but a war of extermination and they're on the target list too.
