The only way humanity can survive is to obey and follow the dictates of tech billionaire Ubermensches who in their infinite wisdom will dismantle democracy and replace it with totalitarian “network states” in which they will rule over the eternally grateful masses.

If you think this sounds like the diabolical plan of a psychotic Bond villain, investigative journalist Gil Duran, editor of The Nerd Reich and Frame Lab newsletters, is here to assure that this isn’t fiction but the long-term plans of Trump-loving billionaires such as Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks and others. Instead of using their immense wealth to actively help humanity and combat climate change, they’re already preparing for a dystopia in which they reign supreme.

Their plans include dismantling democracy, attacking workers’ rights, promoting eugenics, and trying to escape death.

They have poured their money into local and national politics and are deadly serious about making their cult-like vision into a reality.

Take 30 minutes to listen to this sobering conversation with investigative Gil Duran who connects all the dots.
