Tin-foil hats cinched tight. This is not good.

    Gebbia spent six months at DOGE before taking his current role. The senior staff at the National Design Studio, when you pull the bylines from their blog posts and run the names against court filings, come back from the same place, DOGE, the same DOGE currently named as defendant in multiple federal lawsuits for letting engineers without proper security clearance access Social Security data and Department of Homeland Security data, and for sharing sensitive federal information with outside parties.

    The National Design Studio is not a successor to DOGE. It is DOGE with a better logo and a design philosophy.

    I’m going out on a limb here but maybe Musk wasn’t calling the shots for Project 2025.

      Musk was doing the bidding of the Tech Bros. Project 2025 was a separate entity with sometimes overlapping goals. We’ve got a lot of villains here. Putin was/is supporting both factions monetarily and technologically because the goal of all of it is to tear the US down. Which is his main goal. Project 2025 wants a theocracy and the Tech Bros want a feudal state. They’re happy enough to have it be a theocratic feudal state as long as they’re running everything.
