Dark Maga

 This conspiracy theory called Dark Maga, which I don't believe, is that Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and JD Vance are plotting to overthrow the US government and rule it as a fascist dictatorship.  After the mysterious death of orange man, supposedly predicted by the Simpson (but Snopes says is false), JD Vance becomes president, and he and the PayPal Mafia will rule the country and the world.

Here is an article on it: https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/the-dark-maga-conspiracy-where-musk-destroys-trump-and-democracy/ar-AA1GceZh

The supposed guru of the Dark Enlightenment movement was Curtis Yarvin, 51, a Brown-educated, one-time pony-tailed computer coder. Under the alias of “Mencius Moldbug”, Yarvin wrote a 120,000-word blog called ‘An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives.’ It lobbed a hand grenade at the heart of democracy as long ago as 2008. At that time, the U.S. was enthralled by the idea of “Hope,” instilled by the election of Barack Obama as president.  Democracy was at the very heart of Obama’s philosophy.

Yarvin believed differently. He argued that America should be run by a “monarchy” presided over by a dictator CEO. Federal employees would be fired in such quantities that the government would no longer be manageable. Elections would be deemed obsolete. Policies would engender fear and distract the population. The Dark MAGA or Dark Enlightenment theory says it is the remit of the tech billionaires to run the world because they are the only ones with the resources and the know-how to fix it. To Yarvin, who likes to philosophize in computer idioms, democracy was “outdated software” and government needed a “reboot.” For years, Yarvin’s views were marginalized and ridiculed. Then, in 2025, they began to become a reality.

Another link - it doesn't mention Dark Maga, but David Stockman hates Palantir.  https://www.davidstockmanscontracorner.com/palantir-grabbed-685-million-in-fraud-waste-and-abuse-in-2024-alone/

Palantir Technologies received approximately $684.5 million in federal government funding in calendar year 2024.

And I didn't even mention Alex Karp , the CEO of Palantir.
