Le muskisme est l’idéologie libérale couplée avec la volonté d’anéantir l’homme ordinaire.

Si vous avez encore des doutes quant à la qualité des changements dans le système politique états-unien sous Trump II , le texte suivant devrait vous convaincre de sa radicalité inhumaine. Après l’accession d’Adolf Hitler au pouvoir une des premières des nazis mesures furent des purges dans l’administration et l’installation de nazis croyants aux postes clé.
Trump et Musk ont fait pareil mais ils n’ont pas d’armée comme la SA allemande ou la Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) de Modi en Inde. La transformation de l’ICE en Gestapo d’immigration ressemble davantage à l’exemple nazi.
DOGE sought to automate, media researcher Eryk Salvaggio noted, was “not paperwork but democratic decision-making.” Efficiency became the alibi for centralization. This centralization took material form in DOGE’s approach to data, which aimed to put all of the government’s information into a single repository.
Washington had pursued the dream of data integration since the PATRIOT Act; in March 2025, Trump gave another push in this direction with an executive order about “Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos.”
But the kind of total digital unification envisioned by DOGE was unprecedented. It found its most ambitious expression in the attempt to build a “mega API” at the IRS, which would make all taxpayer data—including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, tax returns, and employment information—accessible from one portal. The analogy to Silicon Valley platforms was deliberate. Uber had its “God view,” letting employees watch every ride in real time.
When Musk was buying Twitter, he demanded access to the platform’s “firehose”— the unfiltered stream of all user activity.36 Now the same principle was being applied to the state. Palantir was a major partner in this undertaking. The company received over $113 million in government contracts in the first months of the Trump administration for work that included making it easier to integrate information from different agencies.
Pooling data meant eliminating the legal and privacy guardrails that existed throughout the federal government. Silos are not necessarily bad things. They are spaces of privileged information. The barriers between them can be safeguards—checks against overreach, misuse, and surveillance. But from the perspective of DOGE, they were obstacles to integration.
Such integration also served the purpose of facilitating the wider introduction of AI software, another priority for DOGE. To train AI models, and to use them to replace federal workers, data needed to be centralized and standardized. At the Department of Veteran Affairs, DOGE deployed an AI script to cancel unnecessary contracts. (The model hallucinated, mistaking contracts worth thousands for those worth millions of dollars.)
DOGE also used AI to locate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) language in government policies and programs. Most startlingly, in July 2025 DOGE’s operatives announced the rollout of the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,” which they promised would cut 100,000 federal regulations within six months. In particular, they vowed to save 93 percent of the human labor involved in eliminating regulations by automating away the most time-consuming aspect: namely, reviewing comments submitted by American citizens.
They boasted that hundreds of thousands of comments could be analyzed by AI almost instantly. DOGE’s endpoint was governance by AI: the state not as a space of deliberation but as lines of executable code.
As the sociologist Zeynep Tufekci observed, Musk cast himself as the “sysadmin” keeping the servers running. He reinforced the conceit with a “Tech Support” T-shirt at cabinet meetings, presenting his role in apolitical terms. But the project was deeply political. DOGE’s dream of data omniscience went beyond cost-benefit analysis or software modernization—those had been mantras of earlier administrations. For DOGE, the hunt for “waste, fraud, and abuse” blurred seamlessly into the hunt for illegitimate people: irregularities to be deleted.
Muskism was not just about trimming budgets. Scaled to society, it meant purging those deemed out of place.
