Understanding the Technate Plan
PART I. A lot of what’s going on in Washington DC right now can be traced to the bizarre imagination of Elon Musk — an imagination born of a family history of far right wing, neo-aristocratic, eugenicist thought crossed with far-flown, mid-20th century science fiction fantasy. To take one example, consider the sudden string of threats toward Greenland/Denmark, Panama, Mexico, Colombia and Canada. What’s that all about? Well, it looks like it’s all about something called the Technate, depicted in the 1940 map above. As you can see, it encompasses North America, Central America, the Caribbean (“Gulf of America” ring a bell?), Colombia and Greenland. The idea of The Technate comes from the Technocracy movement conceived by American Howard Scott between the wars. It envisioned a government run by engineers and scientists and not based in democracy. And it conceived of the world as divided up into different Technate spheres, including the one depicted above, which would be ruled from Washington DC, purely by technocrats. Elon Musk’s maternal grandfather was a fierce proponent of Howard Scott’s Technocracy movement and was even run out of Canada in 1950 when the movement was outlawed there. He fled with his family to South Africa, in order to be there for the rise of apartheid, a system which he admired. It appears that the grandson Elon is in the process of trying to realize the mad dreams of his grandfather. And, as of now, we are all merely bit players in this macabre futurist fantasy. And this is what we must resist.
PT. II: The Queens Pig Signs On. So this is probably how it went down…
-Facts. Elon grew up on this. Born in apartheid South Africa, he attended all-white private schools, driven there each morning in a Rolls Royce till the age of 17. His grandfather moved to the dystopian land in 1943, after his dreams of establishing a North American technate were thwarted.
- Over the years, Musk drifts in and out of identities and ideologies — always agitated, always immersed in his infinite grandiosity, always ruthless, unprincipled, greedy, overestimating of his own brilliance, and full of deadly hubris. The future he begins to covet is one in which governments don’t have their own currencies — these are replaced by crypto schemes — and in which the world is divided into distinct Technate spheres governed by unelected ostensible super-brainiacs who know how to rule our lives better than we ourselves do.
- When he gains control of Twix, he commits to using it as a tool of relentless far right wing, Nazi-adjacent propaganda and, ultimately, of social engineering.
- He begins to see Trump as a Trojan Horse he can join with in order to realize his dark, dystopian fantasies and showers the Queens Pig’s campaign war chest with $300 million and endless 4-chanesque pro-Trump posts on Twix.
- Around the time that the Queens Pig is re-elected, Musk boogies down to Mar-a-Lago and pitches to the infinitely vain Donzilla his absurd and pitiless “Technate” ideas.
- As soon as the Queens Pig wins re-election, Trump begins to menace Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Panama with adolescent, passive-aggressive “Hey you’re now the 51st American state!” psychotic excretions on his Truth {sic} Social network. The Queens Pig is now committed to the Technocracy plan. This is certainly the result of a tit-for-tat exchange in which Musk gives The Queens Pig endless money and tweets in exchange for letting Elon pursue his Nazi grandfather’s pipe dream.
- In order to concretize the Technate, Elon must control virtually all of the federal government. He starts with regulatory agencies and the Treasury. He understands that the government runs on tax dollars and if he can monkey with the flow of money, he will be well along to his goal of bullying the citizenry into conforming to his madness.
