got into this in my piece today as well. Silicon Valley tech bro foreign policy is global megadeath prospect.org/power/2025-0...
All of this does at least provide an object lesson in the dangers of Silicon Valley ideology. Tech bros like Musk and his DOGE minions are unshakably convinced that everyone but themselves is an idiot, government is useless, and any system can be easily transformed or rebuilt from the ground up by a couple of engineers hacking together solutions on the fly. This extreme arrogance, combined with contempt for expertise, is amusing when it leads tech companies to repeatedly reinvent the bus. But applied to the federal government, the result is a Stalin-scale humanitarian catastrophe.
