Elon Musk and the Ghosts of Gray Uniforms: Technocracy in the Age of WiFi

Elon Musk and the Ghosts of Gray Uniforms: Technocracy in the Age of WiFi Let’s be real—if Elon Musk’s life came with a subtitle, it might read: "How I Accidentally Fulfilled My Grandfather’s Fascist Fantasies—With WiFi." Sounds dramatic? Maybe. But peel back the tech-billionaire gloss, and what’s revealed is a lineage not just of wealth or ambition—but of ideology. This isn’t fiction. It’s history. And it matters. Thanks to a revealing interview on Democracy Now! with journalist Chris McGreal, we got the kind of ancestral origin story most billionaires hope you’ll never hear. McGreal, a seasoned reporter with deep knowledge of apartheid-era South Africa, laid it bare: Elon’s legacy isn’t just electric cars and Martian dreams—it’s colonial echoes rebranded for the digital age. 🕰 Let’s Rewind: Grandpa Had Plans Elon Musk’s grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, wasn’t your average adventurous chiropractor. He was the head of Canada’s branch of Technocracy Incorporated —a fringe...

  Those Who Want Rain Must Also Accept the Mud Great day fam. Let’s get straight to it. “Those who want rain must also accept the mud.” – African Proverb That’s the one I chose to work with on Day 2 of our Tribal Quotes journey. It hit me different, and I had to sit with it. See, everybody wants the rain. We pray for the blessings, for the harvest, for that growth to come in. But what we don’t talk enough about is what comes with it—the mud. The mess. The struggle. The uncomfortable parts that stick to you while you’re trying to bloom. We want the rain to fall and wash us clean, to nourish our seeds and bring our visions to life. But that same rain turns the ground soft. It gets slippery. It slows you down. That’s the mud—and you can’t avoid it if you really want the growth. You Can’t Have One Without the Other This ain’t just about weather—it’s about life. About process. About truth.

Peace FAM: I have been on the grind for years now with, blogging, podcasting, vlogging and now brewing I am finally making inroads on a platform, but I feel I need to explain why I do what I do. I believe that I need to express the Nia that is flowing through me at this time. My purpose is to enlighten, uplift, encourage, and I must be honest to talk. Those that know me, know that this the truth. I believe and have believed for a long time that I was born to talk. I have supported my family with my mouth, I have provided jobs with my mouth, I have raised money with my mouth, and I can continue but I won't. I am driven to do this, and to the dismay of many in my life I continue. I will get up early in the morning to make sure that I am able to reach those that are taking the time out to listen. Hell I will do a show if no one is there, and I fell I need to explain this desire. Because the fact is that I am not alone, many if not all of my readers, listeners, viewers, and drinkers h...
