Trump, Musk, and the digital control grid

Donald Trump is ushering in a digital control grid with help from the world’s most popular technocrat, Elon Musk. Proceed with caution.

Here’s the thing:

I like both Trump and Elon—the former’s definitely winning culture wars, the latter’s making Twitter great again.

Technocracy promises efficiency but delivers a sterile world where human judgement is subordinated to algorithms and profit.

— Hannah Arendt, philosopher

But that’s precisely why the theatre’s so dangerous. The stage actors have been swapped for better, more likeable and believable ones, yet the same directors remain backstage directing.

For example, why did Trump sign and proudly promote Operation Warp Speed? Was he simply ignorant and hoodwinked by the CIA, Department of Defence, and Big Pharma?

Or was he in the know?

All that being said, Trump seems to be winning more battles than he did in his first term and appears more awake, so there are definitely wins to celebrate.

But he’s losing battles too.
