This article discusses Elon Musk's extensive influence in Washington, where his presence seems to overshadow that of traditional political figures. His ability to command attention and authority raises questions about the role of technology in government, described as a merging of Silicon Valley ideals with political practices. Critics see his approach as part of an emerging "techno-fascism" that prioritizes efficiency and productivity, even as the challenges of measuring success in governance remain, highlighting a shift in the political landscape influenced by potent tech figures like Musk.
that an unelected tech billionaire has so much power over the American government is equal parts confusing and frightening.
American techno-fascism is no longer a philosophical abstraction for Silicon Valley to tinker with... it is a policy program whose constitutional limits are being tested right now.
