Foreign Asset Deposal For Dummies: How To Understand The Elon Drug Story
The theater kids, not the nerds, run Silicon Valley
Today is Elon Musk’s birthday so why not talk openly about what’s going on with his empire? (Is it even his empire?)
The Wall Street Journal reported that Elon takes drugs like ketamine. Those drugs are supplied to him. The reason they are supplied to him is to make him compliant.
What then happens is that a number of players form special purpose vehicles to “invest” in Elon. How many of these investors are foreign intelligence or even drug dealers it’s impossible to say. You best not look there or you’ll get in trouble.
We got some kind of sense of it when we saw the Wall Street Journal cover Igor Kurganov, the Russian poker player backed by the Chinese mob who Elon wanted to make the head of his charitable giving. Kurganov was given the shares after the stock fraud over self-driving cars.
One of the things that becomes abundantly clear to you when you spend time in Silicon Valley (or Miami or Austin) is how many parties there are and how little work seemingly gets done. Like any night club owner — and Elon and his first wife owned a sex club called “Deep” — it’s all hype all the time. How else do you expect them to get another round?
I went to a few of these parties—and then was never invited again. I don’t do drugs nor drink alcohol (anymore) and I had the unfortunate habit of actually answering questions truthfully. I also made it clear that I wasn’t going to tolerate a lot of weird foreign stuff going down. Indeed one of the things you notice rather quickly in Silicon Valley is how few legacy Americans there are in any key positions. Why it’s almost as if they were selected out!
You’ll notice — if you have a keen eye — that this isn’t so much the nerds as it is the theater kids LARPING as nerds. But that’s not all they pretend to be. They also pretend to be cool. Hence the parties. Hence the interminable dinners where everyone sits around.
You see, the parties serve as a kind of test to sort you. You’re supposed to find Founders Fund partner Keith Rabois jokes funny and not notice the creepy attempts to hit on you. You’re supposed to pretend that Trae Stephens knows what he’s talking about when it comes to defense policy. You’re supposed to think that Andreessen Horowitz actually cares about American security rather than moving as much dirty cash as they can. OK, says I, I’ll pretend. But I am not a good actor and I occasionally tell the truth. I am the turd in the punch bowl.
If you’re easily bought you actually want to go to these parties and you want to be compromised there. Think of it like a yacht where anything you could ever want would be readily available to you. But if you ever try to leave the boat they’ll drown you. Or you will drown yourself when you realize it was all an illusion. At some point everyone sobers up—and needs the next hit. If this sounds like mob tactics it is because it is. A (sadly) former friend of mine described herself as "being married to the mob” when she talked about this relationship and she’s not far off the mark.
Oftentimes those who are used for these sorts of operations — foreign or otherwise — are autistic people — people like Elon who is both victim and villain.
I had hesitated talking openly about this subject because I was threatened with a blacklist. In many cases I have been called insane or lied about within Silicon Valley circles.
But Silicon Valley isn’t as strong as it was. You might have noticed. That’s going to continue. You’re welcome.
