“It’s hard to see articles about the ‘move fast and break things’ approach of the Trump administration without also hearing about the hovering presence the world’s richest man, technocrat extraordinaire Elon Musk. The mainstream media likes to describe Musk primarily as an oligarch. His involvement — which now includes having a desk in the White House — is a rather alarming event and something hardly anyone expected. Unfortunately, most media reports are lacking an important perspective about this unexpected bestowal of political power to him and other technocratic oligarchs. Is this a deliberate omission or do many media outlets simply have blinders on because, in their perception, Big Tech is now fundamental to Wall Street’s economy and national security? Musk is a true technocrat and represents the forefront of a new technocratic form of government that we are hurtling toward at light speed.” (02/17/25)
