A group of tech billionaires—including Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and their allies—are working to reshape government to serve corporate power. Their goal is not just deregulation or lower taxes, but the replacement of democracy itself with privatized, CEO-run enclaves.
Thiel has spent millions backing politicians like J.D. Vance, who draws inspiration from Curtis Yarvin, a theorist advocating for dismantling nation-states in favor of corporate micro-governments. Balaji Srinivasan promotes "network states"—private city-states where the wealthy set the rules. Projects like Praxis and Pronomos are already being funded to make this vision a reality.
At the same time, their political influence aligns with Project 2025, a Trump-aligned plan to gut the federal government, purge civil servants, and centralize power in the executive branch. Their strategy is clear: weaken public institutions, replace democratic governance with private rule, and ensure that unaccountable elites hold ultimate control.
