These guys are such blatant grifters. The last thing the US needs is a techbro - or any 'aristocracy.' This is a confession / projection as usual: they WANT to be aristocrats, above the law and permanently rich.

"#ChrisBuskirk put #tech #elites at the center of power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory — an “#aristocracy” is needed to move the country forward."

Their efforts are grounded in a controversial theory of social progress: That a select group of #elites are the right people to move the country forward, a position #ChrisBuskirk argues is not in defiance of MAGA’s populism. Putting industry leaders in positions of #power is a hallmark of #Trump’s presidency — from #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick to #tech titan #ElonMusk — & Buskirk says the #MAGA movement has energized a new generation of stewards for the country.

The pair — along with admin officials & friends — recently launched #ExecutiveBranch, a $500,000-a-head membership club for #Trump-supporting business leaders to hobnob in DC.

These organizations have a collective ambition, according to #ChrisBuskirk, which is to give the businesspeople he sees as vital to the country’s future a role shaping #government & lasting #political #power.

The #RockbridgeNetwork has assembled a database with deep profiles of potential #voters through nonpolitical memberships, including outdoors groups & churches, acc/to a person directly familiar with the organization.

#ChrisBuskirk’s ties to #Trump’s orbit go beyond Rockbridge. #1789Capital, the #VC firm he co-founded with investor #OmeedMalik, focuses on what the partners call “patriotic capitalism” & now counts Donald Trump Jr. as a partner.

Today, #ChrisBuskirk helms the #RockbridgeNetwork, a secretive organization birthed out of the weekend gathering that has established itself as one of the most influential forces in #GOP #politics. Political strategists credit the close-knit network of businessmen-cum-donors with helping fuel #Trump’s reelection last year & propelling one of its own — #JDVance — into the vice presidency.

Convened by #SiliconValley #billionaire #PeterThiel & #JDVance, then an investor who had written a best-selling memoir, the meeting included hedge fund heiress #RebekahMercer, then-FoxNews host #TuckerCarlson & economist #OrenCass, acc/to 2 people familiar…. The details have not been previously reported.

But the person in the room who would solidify the group’s ambitions was an Arizona insurance entrepreneur & conservative media figure named #ChrisBuskirk.

One more chart - the co-founders of 1789 Capital, where Don Jr now works, are Omeed Malik, Rebekah Mercer, Chris Buskirk

Chris Buskirk co-founded the Rockbridge Network with JD Vance (the idea for 1789 Capital started at a Rockbridge event).

These people are all tightly interconnected.
