In our satirical times, most people are aware of enough with Doulespeak to understand that anything called “the city of freedom” is likely to be the opposite. It is a sign of fake self -confidence in their amazing powers that the artistic few who finance this stupid idea to go with this brand anyway. Investigative correspondents, Vitoria Elliot and Caroline Haskins, published deeply A report on this plan for WIRED earlier this month. What becomes clear immediately is that what the billionaire category in Silicon Valley considers simply “cities of freedom” is simply, a plan to end the concept of citizenship and make every person who leads all of which is dominated by the life of its president.
The possibility of his reckless actions in the social, economic and governmental collapse does not disturb musk, because in the ideological waters swimming, he destroys all of them so that it can be rebuilt because the technology dictatorship of technology is largely the point.
According to the design, the details of how to create “freedom cities” are loaded with “federal pockets with special economic and judicial areas” or “compressed between states”. In practice, the plan is clear. The federal government defenders want to allocate lands to build cities exempt from federal laws and state laws. Instead, cities will work as a mini -removal, as the CEO of each city runs everything, and people who live and work there are subject to the president’s whims. It will be like you are an employee of a dominant company, but you do not go out at the end of the day or have life – or rights – outside what the president allows you.
“These will be cities without democracy,” journalist Jill Duran told WIRED. He spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite – Along with politicians such as Vice President JD Vance The idea that democracy should end and replace it with the governments run by strong businessmen. “These will be cities where the owners of the city, companies and billionaires enjoy all power and not everyone has any power.” In the world of technology, Elon Musk comes that the definition of “freedom” is that the wealthy treat everyone, as they like, without the annoying government to protect the safety of people, autonomy or civil rights. He also showed Duran in his news message, “These cities will be fully controlled by billionaires and technical companies, which operate outside American laws.”

It seems illogical to believe, but Mossk’s close friend Peter Thil was speaking lavishly on the organizations designed to make her a reality. Experimental programs started Establishing artificial islands where wealthy owners rule Like kings. One of these institutional cities, called Próspera, was built in Honduras, although the government is currently trying to expel them, with their differences that the city owners reject any national laws they do not like. Of course, Donald Trump loves the idea of creating cities outside the federal authority, Directing a video in 2023 promises to give federal lands To the few to start their mini -circumstances. Technology executives, which are fueled by illegal encryption gains, are Click Republicans in Congress now To make this dystopian dream happen.
In a retroactive tradition everywhere, including his “friend” Trump, musk tends to show his sins to the people who hate. Therefore, he tells him that he has a special obsession with progressive progress, journalists and activists who support democracy as feudal. Tesla drawing, A company rules with an iron grip approximatelyAs an equal workplace with “no princes and peasants”, because there is no “special elevator for senior executives”. However, Tesla Factory employees are 30 % of the union -represented auto specialists, which Musk vigorously opposed. He even joked Publicly with Trump on the use of illegal tactics to lose the federation. Musk The unions were accused of creating “somewhat princes and farmers“As if allowing workers bargaining to power turns executives into two two. Even in 2022, about Twitter at the time, the presence of a “The system of Lords and peasants for those who have or has no blue selection mark,” referring to their system of mode “users” such as journalists and politicians, who have proven their identity to the company. Instead, it has been replaced by the operating system that converts the blue selection users into the “lords” that give them subscription fees such as being at the top of the signals and are promoted in the algorithm.
All of this helps to shed light on an ideology that feeds the war of musk on the federal government, and to support his belief that, the non -elected billionaire must have the right to cancel any federal agency or policy created through the democratic process. It also helps to clarify the reason for his happiness in communicating with the Trump tariff and other attacks on the economy, although chaos caused the stock market breakdown and Executive officials in his private company, Tesla, To panic about the future of work. The possibility of his reckless actions in the social, economic and governmental collapse does not disturb musk, because in the ideological waters swimming, he destroys all of them so that it can be rebuilt because the technology dictatorship of technology is largely the point.
like Kyle Chikika explained in February to New Yorker“The Silicon Valley depends on the idea that its founders and engineers know better than anyone,” and “they must be able to judge better than federal politicians and employees.” Therefore, the right of technology believes that they must destroy “the current system to create a hierarchical technical arrangement with engineers at the top.” It is a lot of five -dollar words, but can be boiled to the view of “good dictators, bad workers”. Musk went so far on Thursday to re -publish the X user Which claimed, “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler did not kill millions of people. Public sector employees did,” which means that ordinary people were working on their own against the will of their dictatorship.
The engagement in the science of explicit apology of Hitler is a follow -up to a man Which caused a “discussion” about whether it was a harsh armed greeting At the Trump gathering it should be explained as “Sig Hill”, it looks quite. But this passes deeper than the indication of the Nazis to hunt the liberals. Chica’s ideology is called “technical fascism” that nourishes musk, and Daily, and their co -billionaires depends on the assumption that the only functional form of government is the strict hierarchical sequence from top to bottom. One of the preferred fake movement of movement, Cortis Yarfin, It is called a “dictator of phobia” to say The government must rely on the will of the people, and to reject democracy as old and ineffective.
If one believes that the dictators are good and that democracy is bad, it is difficult to reconcile that with the long history of dictators who destroy destruction, seek genocide, or get involved in unnecessary wars that lead, as happened during the era of Hitler, to many of their countries in parts. Actual dictatorships are chaotic and chaotic, not the smooth and effective cases of artistic fascism imagination. Of course, there is no moral justification for an indescribable amount of human suffering that causes it. So, instead of dealing with cognitive dissonance, Musk penetrates itself in this imagination that the problem with Nazi Germany, the Mawi China and the Russian Russia is not a few of democracy, but many of them. It is a very stupid imagination that does not need to be exposed. The fact that he went there is how difficult it is to clinging to any justification for his devastating behavior, even if he was pity as evil.
