Good one from WIRED. I couldn't tell who all these guys are, just a couple of them.

Anyway, I thought I'd share the top image here, and give some links to the sick and twisted thought that pervades SOME of Silicon Valley. Think "Yarvin"

The Musk/Silicon Valley (much of it) elitist vision.

A rather detailed look at far right sickos completely absorbed in themselves.

These posts contain, or link to, important understanding of the twisted mentality of Elon and company.

Thanks for good naturedly saving my hide here, usonian.

Your post is so good I might as well leave mine up instead of deleting it.

As always you did a great job on your OP.

Mine wasn't even intended to be one.

I think I see left to right (updated): Bezos, Marc Andreesen, unknown2 (recent IPO guy?), unknown3, Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, tRump, Tim Cook, Sam Altman, Google CEO, Muck, Howard nutLick.

I don't seem to see Yarvin unless he is unknown2 (but no glasses and has a beard).

I'm interested to know who those two guys are at Zuck's 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock -- the guy in purple and the bald guy in the furry cloak. Also the conehead guy.

It's just like WIRED to buy an image and then not ID people in them. Maybe a liability thing?

Their motivations for jumping on the trump train are noted at some point in the article.

For all of his flaws. Jobs is a saint, and the rest are earthworms who might be reborn as decent human beings IN ANOTHER 100,000 LIFETIMES.

Take Steve out and let me weigh this on the karma scale.
