'Reboot' Revealed: Elon Musk's CEO-Dictator Playbook
In 2022, one of Peter Thiel's favorite thinkers envisioned a second Trump Administration in which the federal government would be run by a “CEO”
The Point: In 2022, one of Peter Thiel's favorite thinkers envisioned a second Trump Administration in which the federal government would be run by a “CEO” who was not Trump and laid out a playbook for how it might work. Elon Musk is following it.
The Back Story: In 2012, Curtis Yarvin — Peter Thiel’s “house philosopher”—called for something he dubbed RAGE: Retire All Government Employees.
The idea: Take over the United States government and gut the federal bureaucracy. Then, replace civil servants with political loyalists who would answer to a CEO-type leader Yarvin likened to a dictator.
“If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia,” he said.
Yarvin, a software programmer, framed this as a “reboot” of government.
Elon Musk’s DOGE is just a rebranded version of RAGE. He demands mass resignations, locks career employees out of their offices, threatens to delete entire departments, and seizes total control of sensitive government systems and programs. DOGE = RAGE, masked in the bland language of “efficiency.”
But Musk’s reliance on Yarvin’s playbook runs deeper.
In an essay dated April 2022, Yarvin updated RAGE to something he described as a “butterfly revolution.” In an essay on his paywalled Substack, he imagined a second Trump presidency in which Trump would enable a radical government transformation. The proposal will sound familiar to anyone who has watched Musk wreak havoc on the United States Government (USG) over the past three weeks.
Wrote Yarvin:
We’ve got to risk a full power start—a full reboot of the USG. We can only do this by giving absolute sovereignty to a single organization—with roughly the powers that the Allied occupation authorities held in Japan and Germany in the fall of 1945. This level of centralized emergency power worked to refound a nation then, for them. So it should work now, for us.”
And it goes on. I guess you Nazis are all ok with this? 😆

You say Musk is wreaking havoc (?) and looking to transform the government. Please keep it simple, we don't need philosophers as we chat among ourselves. The havoc wreaked may be felt by people who are in the govt areas that 'need transforming', if you will. So if they need transforming, some people may be let go, some agencies (give money to Taliban?) may need to be shut down. Common sense.
And, You write as though you think that the govt has a duty to 'save' jobs. You also write as if transforming the weakness, the corruption, in our government is a bad thing???
So I see no need to type on, as these simple factors need to be addressed. Let us let Sonhouse predict the future, we expect that. But could you be a bit more factual, and less philosophical. And whoever the yarvik people are is quite irrelevant.
@AverageJoe1 saidPeter Thiel is said to admire Curtis Yarvin, meanwhile JD Vance is Thiel's protege. 😆

And in 2025 we see a CEO running rampant through the government, firing people? Just like the 2022 Yarvin Plan calls for?
That's no coincidence. 😆
@spruce112358 saidYarvin implied 'running rampant' as you do?. So your post is dead in the water.

Y'all will just say whatever pops into your typing fingers. I wish u wouldn't do that, it just encourages SHouse.
