A look into how the tech leaders may be using the new administration to achieve their own agenda. Looking specifically at Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks as well as their relationship with figures like JD Vance, Balaji Srinivasan, and Curtis Yarvin. There is a focused discussion on how a shaping of the government might take place based on convergences between the ideas of Yarvin, who influences the tech libertarian right, and Project 2025, who have authored a playbook exclusively for President Trump to help with his transition to power.

This is like getting the big picture when Project 2025 is down in the weeds. This isn't a rabbit hole to go down. This is when a hawk picks up the rabbit and flies, soaring above everything for a couple glorious minutes before it eats the rabbit.

Right now we're setting up the "ignore the courts" pillar, which we should get right before a shutdown on the Ides of March.
