Gil Duran has provided clear concise explanations of what drives the Tech Billionaires political ambitions. The motivations, goals, who's connected and what the ideology is.

A sharp criticism, but a good place to start for those unfamiliar. Shows the scale and resources being put to it. This is not a effort from the margins, but a well funded, and now central effort to reshape regulatory controls, government favor and oversight.

Elon Musk targeted me over Tesla protests. That proves our movement is working
- Valerie Costa

I’ve always believed the people are powerful. Now we know the world’s richest man does too

I'd like to address the lies spread about me by the world's richest man and X users. I have not committed any crimes. I have not been funded by ActBlue, or by George Soros – that name is simply a tired antisemitic dog whistle. I'm not inspired by Luigi Mangione nor have I ever said that I am. I am not encouraging any vandalism. Nobody is getting paid to come to these protests. I am not the leader of Tesla Takedown. In fact, no one is… All of this is a bare-bones, low-budget, people-powered movement – which is exactly why Musk is afraid of it, and casting about to find a villain.
