These are essentially self-interests in a common alignment. As long as the alignment is for good purposes, then the network of billionaire allies is in a very cool place.
To understand the outcome of the next four years (and beyond), it is important to begin with this. One key not discussed anywhere else is outlined below.
Consider this a baseline for future context in the world of the USA and President Trump politics.
Summarized it looks like this: In late summer 2023 not only myself, but several insightful analysts in the world of high finance, had come to the conclusion that Musk’s financial effort with the purchase of Twitter was unsustainable, unless something changed.
Something did change.
In early August of 2023, understanding the dynamic at stake, and also having a strategy for his own interests, Oracle’s Larry Ellison said, ‘he would not let Elon Musk fail with Twitter’.
Billionaire Larry Ellison, a Tesla Board member, already had invested money in place, but that wasn’t the motive on this move. In hindsight, Ellison was brilliant and intensely strategic. It is important to understand what exactly ‘board members’ are recruited for, and the stability/security reasons for why they are recruited.
Ellison pumped money into the problem, relieving Musk of the cash flow problem created by his inability to divest shares (Musk was max-limited by Board). Ellison also helped make the $1.5 billion loan made by SpaceX, (unknown at the time) go away.
Ellison essentially positioned Twitter for the same dynamic reason that Bezos bought and used WaPo. This is the world of high finance, and these moves are all about influence, leverage and ultimately positioning.
Ellison wanted a vessel for influence, a friendship and common ideological alignment therein just made sense.
With financial breathing room and a nod in the direction he needed to follow, after a brief stint with Ron DeSantis, Musk using his platform, leaned forward into Trump. The rest of that relationship origin is history.
Oracle, specifically Larry Ellison, is now positioned as the biggest benefactor of a second Trump administration, with a very specific group of technocrats in close alignment.
AWS Jeff Bezos has been trying to make up ground ever since.
Now that’s the elevator speech part; that’s the encapsulated or summarized version.
But it’s in the details where things get interesting.
It should be emphasized up front that no one is a bad guy in the framework of what took place; however, neither is this altruism.
CRITICAL MOMENT – Returning to the August 2023 remarks by Larry Ellison about not letting Musk fail.
The person Larry Ellison was talking to was Donald Trump.
Larry Ellison nets about $50 billion per year in revenue; that’s not wealth growth; that’s income or cashflow. Pause and put yourself into that room and think about that conversation for a moment, or more.
In August 2023 President Trump understands that Twitter will survive. Ellison will not let Musk fail and will underwrite whatever is needed in order to ensure success. Everything candidate Trump does from that moment forth, carries that baseline.
Now, in August 2023 Larry Ellison was not saying, hey Trump I support you; instead, the reality of what the Oracle billionaire was saying was that Twitter would survive. [Insert additional Trump thoughts of Truth Social and DWAC here]
Indeed, factually, several months later in 2024 Donald Trump is watching Elon Musk try to launch Ron DeSantis on Twitter – with much less success than his SpaceX rockets. Trump knows this is a test flight of DeSantis by Ellison.
Donald Trump keeps moving, keeps relentlessly campaigning, keeps targeting the primary opponents and knocking them down one-by-one. All the while knowing that in the background of Musk, is Ellison.
Strategically, Donald Trump needs Ellison and strategically Donald Trump wants to position Ellison to need him. Bringing the interests into alignment is The Art of The Deal.
Eventually, over time, the alignment of interests takes shape.
In the spring of 2024, the broad outline of a technocratic team falls slowly into place. By summer 2024 we see Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, David Sachs, Peter Thiel all in common alignment. The technocratic team bring in the RFK Jr element along with the Vivek Ramaswamy element, and Peter Thiel’s background seeding of Senator JD Vance blossoms. The rest, as they say, is now history.
However, it is important to remember, this is an alignment of common interests. Insofar as those diverse but intertwined interests are good for the USA, then this is an extremely powerful coalition. There is a great deal of commonality, but there is also the opportunity for some disparity – especially if the technocrats push the Office of the President too hard.
Remember, Musk faced two issues: (1) short term capital and (2) short term expenses.
Here I must give Elon Musk major credit for seriously strategic problem solving. Ellison solved problem #1, Musk solved problem #2 with fractal computing and big-time urgency on AI as a way to reduce data processing costs. The net result surfaced a few days ago:
“Musk has given 25% of the shares in xAI, which Musk founded last year, to investors who helped fund his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in 2022, sources with knowledge of the talks told the Financial Times. XAI is set to close a $5 billion fundraising round as early as Wednesday – doubling the company’s valuation to $50 billion in just six months, according to the paper.” (LINK)
Sixteen months ago, I didn’t think Musk could pull it off. He did and should be congratulated. So too should Larry Ellison be admired for strategic foresight and incredible positioning for maximum benefit. Just a brilliant outcome from both men. Well done!
Now I need to bring in another metaphor:
A person could make the argument that splitting the atom was a great altruistic decision to create abundant energy. However, it must also be accepted the good decision ultimately created a serious weapon, the atomic bomb.
Thus, embedded in the argument about Musk and his chase of AI is a defense that solving the problem of data processing costs (fractal computing and AI), is a way to get rid of the inherent dependency on IC systems and massive space-consuming Server Farms previously needed to run simultaneous user social media platforms.
Fair enough. I totally understand the upside.
However, in steps Peter Thiel and Palantir with a business model to repurpose the beneficial side of AI, add in facial recognition capabilities, and create something that Homeland Security and the Intelligence Community would gain from. That’s the downside.
AI can both split the atom (good) and create the atomic bomb (bad).
When the AI search and filter capability is merged with facial recognition, “Real ID”, and ultimately the NSA metadata; then adding fractal computing power and imagine the search results.
My concern is it’s only a matter of time before an Obama-type administration take power again. What will that merged system look like if weaponized?
Palantir agreed to cooperate with the FBI and launched facial recognition AI on behalf of their federal contract with the FBI into the events of J6 attendees. The FBI arrests followed.
Palantir’s access to the DHS/TSA database, as granted by the FBI for use in their J6 targeting operation, can be looked upon as a beta test for how artificial intelligence could scour the national biometric database and deliver results.
Three key points:
(1) Palantir doesn’t have access to the full NSA metadata library yet. Concerningly that’s another part where Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and JD Vance can come into play in (’28).
(2) Palantir (AI surveillance) is beta tested with various sub-silos (like FBI), under auspices of various legal authorities (like J6).
(3) Palantir’s product, combined with Real ID and biometrics, can also be used to identify and locate illegal criminal aliens. Thus, the Tom Homan Deportation Operation benefits from incredible targeting efficiency. But will DHS stop using it when the deportation program concludes?
As long as these systems are operating for good, then I look at the financial windfall to the technocrat group as no issue. However, if those systems are weaponized for a process of targeting that violates the basic elements of our constitutional protection, then we have a problem.
“Politically Exposed Persons” outside the Big Club should be cautious.
Eyes wide open.

Captain Convey Comment
This comment will segue into what I think about AI.
AI pictures and AI videos are looking more real.
In an AI generated video of a woman playing a guitar it looked real enough to be believed by most people.
A musican commented on the video and pointed out a few flaws I would not know.
He could tell the difference if the video was real or not.
Its the same with other videos or pictures generatd by AI.
If you are more knowledgeble about something you can pick the fake AI out.
If not you can be fooled by AI.
AI mimmics reality.
It mimmics males and females.
AI can make a male look more or less male or make a female look more or less female.
AI can generate a trans looking pic or video.
AI can be used as a gender bender tool.
AI can make a trans pic or trans looking video.
Just like AI real trans people mimmic the reality of gender.
A male wanting to look like a female tries to look more female.
A female wanting to look more like a male tries to look more male.
AI blurs reality.
Trans people blur reality.
I saw a short video of a trans man saying the goal was to confuse people.
The trans male didn’t say it was to convince people he was a she.
AI mimmics reality.
Trans people mimmic reality.
AI is used to dupe people into thinking its real.
Trans people dupe people into thinking they are real.
In this sense trans and AI are similar in that they deceive people.
AI is being embedded in the matrix of deception of that cell phone you are constantly watching.
AI is being incorporated into everything possible.
AI is Enslaving us in various ways.
It is being pushed on us much like the clot shot was.
AI is injecting its control over you.
My daughter called a telephone number and spoke with a “person”.
She really thought it was a real “person”.
I could hear the conversation on speaker as she was sitting next to me.
When the “person” asked her if she could hold a minute and put her on hold I told her she wasn’t talking to a real person but an AI voice.
After the “person” came back on and the conversation was finished she told me I was right.
We are interacting with AI in this way everyday and many times not knowing that the “person” is not real.
We are watching AI videos and AI pictures that often we think are real but are not.
AI pretends to be a person as do trans people.
Neither are as presented.
When we come into contact with a trans type person often can tell the difference if its obvious or evident.
Some guys just don’t trans to a woman’s appearance very well and others do.
Its the same with girls. Some don’t trans to a man’s appearance very well and others do.
We come into trans type people sometimes and are not sure or cannot tell the difference between a real person or a fake person.
Add to this there are some people who don’t have more obvious male or female features that allow us to not guess at the gender.
These type of people can be confused with the fake trans people.
You can often get a big clue when a trans person talks like a woman if its a man or a woman talks like a man.
Like the trans guy said, “We want to confuse you”.
To me most trans people are homsexuals or lesbians pretending to be the opposite sex.
The author of confusion is satan.
AI just told me this message will self destruct in 10 seconds.
Then it said, good luck Mr Phelps.
For those of you who live in Reo Linda, as Rush Limbaugh use to say, If you expect the message is going to self destruct in 10 seconds your in for a disappointment.

This is included more and more in advertising.
Its promoting transexuals.
“To show somebody trans in a positive light as something that is desirable or normal or acceptable, that is like a marketing use of a subcultural chic, to sell shampoo or soap or tequila or what have you.”
There is nothing “normal” about a man pretending to be a woman or a woman pretending to be a man.
They want you to accept them and their perversion.
Most of the Trans pictured in the link below can pass as women even though they are men.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-49578690
Most of these trans were or are models.
Models are what some people emulate.
Models don’t reflect the reality of how trans men really look.
Below is an example of a failed transexual and “her” story.
‘I’m still a man’ says transsexual woman who has a warning for those considering a sex change.
This person admits she is a he.
Most trans people pretend or believe she is he or he is a she.
Either way their bilogical sex at birth can’t be changed.
It can be altered by surgery and drugs.

Leanne Mills is warning others not to have the life changing operation.
Lee Mills as a male boy before trans operation.
“I was jealous of girls – that was the body I wanted. I became so depressed and suicidal. I broke down on my 17th birthday and told my parents I wanted to be a girl and I wanted this operation.”
She said her parents were supportive but she will never forget her father’s words.
“I have got to level with you son, all they can do is take your thing off.’
I said ‘no that’s not true, they can do more than that.’
He said ‘that is all they can do.’
Today she is speaking differnet.
“I am a transgender woman, not a woman.
Just like dad said. I know that I can never change my biology
Leanne now knows what her dad tried to warn about.
“I have got to level with you son, all they can do is take your thing off.”
My advice to those of you who are considering having your “thing” taken off is listen carefully to Leanne before you make the same mistake.
