Billionaire Peter Thiel’s utopia is a future where democracy has been replaced by a technocratic empire run by benevolent billionaires who engage in eugenics experiments to create an evolved species of white people who live forever and without accountability, thanks to AI augmentation and an army of killer robots to pacify the angry, sick, and poor proletariat population.
This sounds like terrible science fiction produced by a Hollywood executive high off cocaine and poppers, but unfortunately, this is the fever dream of the broligarchy and their late ally, Jeffrey Epstein.
The latest batch of Epstein Files reveals how Thiel and Epstein shared a perverse world view rooted in Nazi race science and white supremacy. Thiel has been at it since college, where he articulated these dangerous and racist ideas at Stanford with another member of the PayPal mafia, Jeffrey Sachs, who is currently Trump’s Czar of AI and Crypto. The other member of their mafia, Elon Musk, now posts white nationalist conspiracies and talking points on a near-daily basis on Twitter, including the lie about a “white genocide” that is happening in South Africa.
On cue, The Guardian revealed today that the president of the New York Young Republican Club will be speaking at a conference in Pretoria, South Africa, hosted by an Afrikaner nationalist group that promotes the same conspiracy theories. Within fifteen years, Thiel, Musk, and the broligarchy have seeded the mainstream with their perverse worldview, having infected politics, culture, academia, and tech with their psychotic ideology.
To make everything worse, the Brotopia has now gone all-in with AI, unleashing a radical technology upon the world without any real oversight or regulation.
A report in New Scientist revealed that AI models kept choosing nuclear war without any hesitation in nearly every single war game simulation. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is openly extorting Anthropic to give the Pentagon access to their AI technology or face bans from all future government contracts. What does the Pentagon plan to do with this technology? Oh, you know, mass surveillance of Americans and the production of drones and killer robots.
I invited tech journalist and reporter David Futurelle, author of the excellent Brotopians newsletter, to discuss the close ties between Thiel, Musk, and the broligarchy and how their investment in Crypto, AI, and right-wing politics might create a dystopian hellscape for the rest of us.
