I don't know who Tucker is interviewing here, but in this 2:21 clip he says something that has been percolating in the back of my mind:
There has been an alignment, the last 3 days, that all point to the fact that Trump is in all but name the next President. Elon and Bill Ackerman very publicly declare unthroated support for Trump. Trump basically tells Biden to give JFK USSS protection, and Biden agrees. Am I crazy? Am I really seeing this?
I'm going to watch the entire interview tomorrow, when it posts, as this looks like an interesting conversation.
I think you've got this backwards.
Musk/Thiel aren't trying to appease populism, they are trying to ride populism into a changing of the elites.
That's actually what we've been fighting for.
Musk and Thiel are doing so, yes. The increasing faction in the establishment who are moving away from the previous narrative and quietly backing Trump are doing so as a means of appeasement. They are increasingly resigned to the fact that the post-national, WEF world they wanted to build is not going to happen, and so they're trying to cling onto their positions of influence by realigning with the side they think is going to supplant that ideology. It's very cynical, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing if it means things improve for ordinary people.
I think it's worse than that. I think they are starting to realize that in the post-national, WEF world... they would be just as enslaved as we are. In that world, where the population is reduced to 500 million, they aren't the 0.0001% that get to be the elite. They are the 0;001%, which is no different from some random hobo that gets the wall.
