If Elon Musk truly manages to take over Twitter and take it private, that will be a big change in the power relations governing day-to-day elite communication, e.g. among journalists and academics.
The reason I mention the Twitter takeover in this context: you could say that the essence of Yarvin’s strategy to defeat democracy, is to take the public sphere private. Replacing the “rule of law” with the “rule of men”, also known as “personal rule”.
It’s all very twisted because a common accusation against the western system, is that although it is based on rule-of-law, in fact it has been corrupted, so that there is an elite who are above the law; a form of oligarchy. The neoreactionary answer to this is, is to hope for a “good king”, who will restore justice because they are a good person but with absolute power.
