Elon Musk, eager tech salesman to the Deep State
Elon Musk, eager tech salesman to the Deep State
A hair-plug cosmist dreams of military conquest and galactic insemination.
Speaking of cybernetic fantasies about surveillance and control systems that span the globe…turns out Elon Musk, the guy who’s been out there fighting the Lib Deep State with his Twitter Files, is set to deepen his work with our killer Deep State.
While everyone’s been transfixed by his Twitter feed, his other company SpaceX has been busy launching yet another patriotic service for America’s global security apparatus: “Starshield.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, SpaceX is being pretty tightlipped about the service but has been hiring engineers with top secret clearance and signals experience. That means encryption and intelligence gathering — probably the most secretive compartment of our overly secretive security state:
A spokesman for SpaceX didn’t respond to requests for comment. The full scope of SpaceX’s efforts with Starshield couldn’t be determined. Job listings on the company’s website include an engineering position focused in part on signals intelligence and a data engineer who has an active top-secret clearance.
Pentagon leaders have said they are increasingly turning to the private sector for space capabilities, especially as more countries, including adversaries, launch satellites.
We can add this new Starshield service to the hundreds of millions in contracts Musk’s SpaceX already gets from our security state — including spy satellites. There’s also the experimental work the company’s been doing on rocket-based earth-to-earth transport tech that could deliver soldiers and weapons to any place on the globe faster than you can order from GrubHub.
Musk wants to be the rocket and satellite merchant to the America Empire — other weapons are probably just around the corner with this guy.
The people at Twitter are assholes for trying to put their thumb on politics. That shouldn’t even have to be said. But anyway, what did people expect? But the rest of it…this is how you know that the outrage around the Twitter Files is mostly tribal bullshit engineered for our Perky Pat news cycle. To those given access to the files, it’s fine that Musk is running a privatized military outfit helping kill people around the world. True evil is getting banned by libs on Twitter.
Anyway, enjoy the slides — especially the one with the sperm-shaped missile launching behind an American flag. A hair-plug cosmist dreams of war and galactic insemination!

And it's the same nouveau culture warriors, including many on Substack, pushing the Twitter Files as though they're something altogether revelatory and demonstrative of one-sided political maneuverings. In some part they're correct, but the politics involved are those of the War Party, of which both the Democratic and Republican parties are members.
It's a nothing-ham-sandwich, but not for the reasons the walking dead of the Democratic Party say. Read a bit of the files and meh. It's like what a movie reviewer wrote about 'Heaven's Gate': "It was like a forced, 4-hour tour of my own living room."
