⚡ Libertarian Techno-Authoritarianism
Thiel – Musk – SpaceX – Tesla – Anduril – Palantir – JD Vance – xAI – (Nvidia as secondary supplier)
Key Figures & Firms
- 🧠 Peter Thiel: Palantir founder, ideological architect.
- 🚀 Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, xAI; chairs DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency).
- 🎮 Palmer Luckey (Anduril): defense-AI, fastest-growing Pentagon contractor.
- 🦅 JD Vance: Vice-President.
- 🛰️ SpaceX + Tesla: industrial and launch monopolies.
- 📊 Palantir: government data analytics pipeline.
- 🎮 Nvidia: GPU supplier through defense channels.
Power Levers
- DOGE charter hard-wired into OMB.
- Classified defense-AI contracts and launch licenses.
Ideology
- Shrink the administrative state; let elite engineers build orbital factories, defense shields, and life-extension compounds.
🛰️ AI-Infrastructure Stack (Stargate Coalition)
OpenAI – Oracle – SoftBank – Amazon – Anthropic – (Nvidia as hardware anchor)
Key Figures & Firms
- 🤖 Sam Altman (OpenAI): architect of the $500B Stargate build-out.
- 🏢 Larry Ellison (Oracle): Stargate landlord, cloud backbone.
- 💴 Masayoshi Son (SoftBank): balance-sheet capital, chairman of Stargate.
- 📦 Amazon (AWS): compute backbone + lobbying muscle.
- 🌌 Anthropic: “safety-aligned” counterweight bundled into Stargate cloud.
- 🎮 Nvidia: indispensable GPU supplier anchoring the stack.
Power Levers
- Control of scarce GPU supply and allocation.
- Writing the “safety standards” for national AI models.
Ideology
- Neoliberal globalism wrapped in AI-exceptionalism: open markets, but centralized compute.
💻 Software / Consumer Layer (Legacy Incumbents)
Meta – Google – Microsoft – Apple – liberal policy network
Key Figures & Firms
- 👓 Mark Zuckerberg (Meta): open weights (Llama-3) to undercut OpenAI.
- 🔍 Sundar Pichai (Google): integrating Gemini across federal sites.
- 🖥️ Satya Nadella (Microsoft): OpenAI’s biggest backer while building its own frontier stack.
- 🍏 Apple: platform gatekeeper, controlling device-level AI rollout.
- 💸 Liberals: Reid Hoffman, Marc Benioff, Democratic donor class.
Power Levers
- Consumer data moats (search, social, productivity, devices).
- Regulatory lobbying (EU AI Act as a de facto standard).
Ideology
- ESG-flavored techno-progressivism: “aligned,” carbon-neutral, multilateral oversight.
Day 1: Trump reflects on his life, remarks that he wants to enter Heaven

Day 4: Bruising seen on his hand, transfusions speculated
Day 9: Vance states that he’s ready to become President in case of tragedy
Day 10: Trump disappears from public#AmericanKremlinology #TrumpDead pic.twitter.com/FNrFmtlQKO
| Bloc | Post-Trump Influence | Main Leverage |
|---|---|---|
| ⚡ (Thiel–Musk–Vance) | High (~55%) | DOGE charter, defense contracts, Vance 2028 |
| 🛰️ AI-Infrastructure Stack | Medium (~30%) | GPU allocation, safety standards, Oracle real estate |
| 💻 Software / Consumer Layer | Low (~15%) | Consumer scale, lobbying, global cash |
💡 In short: the Thiel–Musk bloc is hard-wiring the U.S. state. The Stargate coalition is fighting for the compute rents. The incumbents are left clinging to consumer moats and regulatory lobbying.
