Tim Zee<a href="https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@georgetakei</a> In the 1990s and 2000s, libertarianism was the official religion of Silicon Valley. And as with many other religions and cults, the fundamentalist extremists gradually pushed the moderates to the sidelines. The South Africa adjacent PayPal mafia was a driving force. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PayPalMafia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PayPalMafia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElonMusk</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ApartheidElon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ApartheidElon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LibertarianExtremists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibertarianExtremists</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JamesBondVillains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JamesBondVillains</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DefundMars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefundMars</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesSo last night I stumbled across this twenty-five minute interview with Guardian reporter Chris McGreal on Democracy Now!" Most of the conversation centers around the Musk family's longtime connections with Nazism (like literally the Third Reich) and neo-nazi movements, as well as how growing up in Apartheid South Africa shaped Elon Musk's worldview. Interestingly however, this is probably the first time I've ever seen anyone who works in corporate media mention that Peter Thiel, and David Sacks also have deep connections to apartheid societies in Africa. As you're likely aware, all three men have intimate connections with, and have financially supported, Trump and the larger fascist movement that's built around his cult of personality.I'm sharing it here at least in part because McGreal is very firmly a mainstream media source, and until very recently this type of background information on the billionaire nazis ruining our society as we speak, really didn't get a lot of play in the mainstream media. This kind of critical background information wasn't necessarily a "secret," but corporate media has always been far too fawning towards tech billionaires to bring up "inconvenient truths" like the reality that the richest guy in the world, who is currently helping to enact a white nationalist agenda in America, comes from a family full of cracker nazis.
