Tech Bro Supervillains Confess World Takeover Plan

Live-streamed on February 11, 2025 Gil Duran, journalist based in California, proprietor of the website The Nerd Reich, co-writer of the FrameLab newsletter, joins to discuss his recent piece in The Nerd Reich entitled “‘Reboot’ Revealed: Elon Musk’s CEO-Dictator Playbook.” https://x.com/gilduran76 https://www.thenerdreich.com/ https://www.theframelab.org/ https://www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-musk-ceo-dictator-doge/ Gil Duran then joins, diving right into the concept of the Network State – an idea advanced by Big Tech’s thought leader Curtis Yarvin and his billionaire buddies (Thiel, Andreessen, Musk, etc) that Tech CEOs should take advantage of the collapse of Nation States and democracy in favor of establishing corporate, CEO-run dictatorship, either by gutting and replacing existing governments or purchasing sovereign territories – as Duran unpacks his first introduction to this ideology with Silicon Valley’s attempt to hijack San Francisco’s political institutions, before parsing a little deeper through the recent, much more public discussions of this theory advanced by the likes of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Curtis Yarvin. After expanding on how we are already seeing the blueprint for a Network State in action, with Trump serving as a figurehead to a Tech CEO’s gutting of our administrative and democratic institutions in favor of sycophants and centralized power, Duran looks to how this came to be the active ideology of the GOP so quickly, unpacking how the collapse of the Biden campaign and naming of JD Vance as Trump’s VP opened up an opportunity for the Big Tech to step in, starting with Elon’s massive public $300m investment and culminating in Yarvin’s Reboot conference in San Francisco last September, exploring the obvious parallels between Big Tech’s dictator obsession and the GOP’s white nationalism and parsing through their unified scapegoating of “woke” and “DEI” in the leadup to the election to the point of completely dominating both mainstream and social media (bolstered by the financial leverage and ownership Big Tech has over those institutions).
