We’re living in a bizarre age of technofascism. The richest man who has ever lived, a man who dreams of colonizing Mars with his children, is America’s CEO. Donald Trump, the man people voted for, is just the chairman of the board.


What does Elon Musk believe? Is there a playbook for DOGE? How bad are things going to get? On this episode of Angry Planet journalist Gil Duran, author of The Nerd Reich newsletter, walks us through what’s coming.


Over on The Shatter Zone, journalist and former Angry Planet guest Robert Evans has published a document that Democratic think tanks are passing around. It gives extra context to Duran’s reporting. All the major players and themes we talk about in this episode are there: Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, the Butterfly Effect.

If you want to understand why so many federal workers are getting fired and the Silicon Valley ideology that’s infected D.C., then give us a listen.

  • Curtis Yarvin’s unimpressive programming career
  • “Democracy doesn’t work”
  • Bullshit and cherries
  • RAGE and Reboot
  • The Chairman of the Board
  • It’s always about the money
  • “Move fast and break things” comes to D.C.
  • The Engineer’s Disease
  • Nick Land is mentioned and I’m sorry
  • “Trump is more intellectual property than man.”
  • The horror of comedy
  • Selling the Nerd Reich to the Religious Right
