If we're hoping to change the elites, we've basically got Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk, and that's basically where the list ends for "Populist Right elites".
The Culture War isn't over, now is the long war to make our own elites that actually reflect our views and build our institutions.
It's hilarious how much of a boiled frog you are. Musk isn't on the Right and he never has been. He's a life-long ""classical"" liberal and hasn't changed in that regard. Stop viewing politics as a relativist. Just because he's not in line with the modern left does not make him on the right. And the same with Trump. The enemy of my enemy is not in fact my friend. Stop falling for the lie of a "lesser" evil.
The more you operate on reactionary logic like that, the more you will inevitably and unendingly compromise on every value you hold, just like every other republican/conservative over the past century. Todays conservatives are yesterdays democrats, and it has been that way for a very long time. Most conservatives these days are barely even on the Right.
You're operating on the Overton Window. At best, Elon and Trump are centrists.
But it's funny that reading between the lines of what you wrote is just more pro-establishment bullshittery, you just want your own flavour of statism. It's not the authoritarianism that's the issue to you, it's the colour of the banners on the walls.
Sit down and be quiet, you're talking to the wrong person. I've just had to spend two days explaining why Elon Musk wasn't pretending to be a White Nationalist to backpaddling groypers.
I understand you don't know that I'm talking to MetallicBioMeat about Italian Elite Theory because there are elites in society, and that political movements need powerful and influential people on our side; otherwise, even populist revolutions will always die; but it doesn't excuse you from coming to me and giving me the most basic bitch "akshully conservatism is progressives going the speed limit" shit I could have gotten from watching Dave Rubin.

You're about 5-7 years behind me.
You wouldn't happen to have read "The Populist Delusion" would you?
