He said wants X to be an “everything” app like WeChat a few years back. Nice an authoritarian.

Yes - This is an underrated point.

The circle of Elon, Thiel, Andersson, etc conceptually orbit Balaji. Balaji, The Network State author, explicitly advocates for a techno-libertarian exit because they perceive the US and especially "team blue" as getting in the way and slowing down their vision.

I still don't understand what Balaji wants to achieve with his crypto oriented nonsense. Could not make any sense of it.

His ideas builds on Curtis Jarvis work, dark enlightenment. He is a close associate of Peter Thiel and JD Vance. Essentially they want to destroy the federal government, buy up assets and land, start their own micro countries where they can be King CEOs. Sounds like a joke but its not.
