Mark Zuckerberg's motto 'move fast and break things' has transformed from a guiding principle for Facebook to an embodiment of current political chaos, particularly under Donald Trump's influence. As Trump disregards established norms and institutions, he exemplifies the consequences of this motto at the highest levels of government. The destructive potential of libertarian proposals, embodied in Project 2025, showcases a shifting landscape where asking for forgiveness instead of permission becomes a blueprint for action. Observers note this approach is reshaping political structures, paralleling tactics used by tech moguls like Elon Musk to disrupt established systems.
As the congressional historian Norman Ornstein observed: We are in the middle of a fast-moving putsch, a right-wing authoritarian coup, a five-alarm fire and our media are treating it like a little backyard bonfire.
The big lesson learned from Elon Musk and the coterie of tech bros when demolishing the old order is that ask for forgiveness not permission pays dividends.
