On social media, many viewers were stunned after the hacktivist collective anonymous released a new video targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk, warning that they pose a threat to democracy.
The video is part of a growing series of statements from the group. This questioned the direction of the current u.s. administration and the unchecked power of private tech billionaires.
Anonymous claims Donald Trump and Elon Musk are enabling a dangerous shift in american power
In their latest statement, anonymous expresses serious concern about elon musk’s growing political influence. He is now head of the department of government efficiency, which they see as part of a troubling alliance with president Trump.
Additionally, anonymous claims the two are involved in a broader strategy with global implications.
They compare it to ideas from “project russia,” a book series by russian author yuriy shalyganov.
The books describe a dystopian vision in which public trust is systematically eroded to pave the way for centralized power ruled by a “Prince-Monk” archetype.
The video asserts: “The writing is on the f**king wall. Trump, Musk, and Putin are playing a dangerous game.”
The group says project russia is not fiction but a playbook for global authoritarianism
Anonymous draws a direct parallel between the current political landscape and the core strategy outlined in “Project Russia.”
They claim the playbook involes:
They claim the playbook involves:
– Exploiting economic chaos
– Co-opting influential public figures
– Dismantling democratic institutions
– Replacing public programs with private control
The video calls out Musk’s expanding influence over government programs, stating “Now add Musk, pulling the strings in the US government’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, slashing public programs while sucking up power — and we’ve got the perfect storm for democratic destruction.”
Elon musk targeted as a symbol of unchecked billionaire power
Anonymous reserves some of its harshest criticism for Elon Musk, describing him as: “The very f**king embodiment of everything conspiracy theorists warned us about.”
They accuse Musk of pushing a false narrative of patriotism while centralizing power and undermining democracy. The video characterizes him as: “A rich b*stard with too much clout, hellbent on global domination.”
They also stress that Musk holds a “government role without ever being elected”. They warned that this undermines “democratic accountability”
The video ends with a chilling “call to action”, challenging viewers to reflect on their own role in defending democratic freedoms: “So, are you ready to lose your freedom? Is worshiping the rich worth the cost of losing your democracy?”
Anonymous closes with their signature phrase, “Expect us”. but with a tone more urgent than in previous communications.
