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?

These people need to be charged with treason as soon as you regain power. Also go after the disgusting right wing mouth pieces that push disinformation 24/7.

I personally promise to seize control of the Republic and rule with an iron first, driving all enemies before me in my pursuit of sensible economic systems (socialism)

Okay, but just so we're clear, everything bad is your fault and I did everything good.

Don't worry, we'll fake the public execution and give you a dacha in the mountains.
