Key financial backers of Trump, incl. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, have advocated for a U.S. debt default and the dismantling of the American financial system. Are they now pushing these plans forward? (futurology.today)

A 2024 article talks about their strategy: they believe in a radical 'rebirth' of the U.S. through a major financial crisis—one that would force a debt default, eliminate the Federal Reserve, and replace the system with a libertarian model centered on cryptocurrency.

These ideas may have sounded like conspiracy theories in the past, but in 2025, they seem more plausible. The current administration thrives on chaos as a distraction, yet its policies increasingly align with this vision of engineered collapse. Is this what’s actually happening?

They're certainly trying. These assholes are Accelerationists. They seriously want to resey society, but all of THEIR means and wealth, and just buy everything up and be land barrons, revert back to company towns and kingdoms run by billionaires, and so own. They are the exact antithesis to the Founding Father's ideals.
