In buying "deregulation", they also bought fascist rule, and according to Musk, extreme destruction of their lifeblood, immigrants and university research, among other things. So, maybe they want to take over (guaranteed when Vance succeeds mister basket case) but how much of the nazi agenda will they push?
According to the above, lots, but it's backfiring.
Just "What do they really want?" Maybe that's being discussed right now.

Musk vs Trump is a cautionary tale for Silicon Valley

The last paragraph is the best.

The eruption between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has reverberated around the world. It must be mortifying for those in Silicon Valley who threw their support behind the president thinking he would shrink the federal government. With Musk’s departure, any hope of a disciplined approach to the US government and budget goes as well. Musk is right; the Trump budget is an abomination.
lavish praise of Musk (deleted)
By comparison, Trump has none of Musk’s business acumen or his attention span. Since the inauguration, he has run the government just like he operated his own business, raising mountains of debt and betraying employees, while escaping unscathed himself.
What is the result of this meeting of company builder and medieval monarch? It’s the opposite of what was promised: a US budget that has ballooned, debt levels that will only rise and crushing interest payments that make the country vulnerable to its largest creditors — Japan and China.
One word of advice for those in Silicon Valley who followed Musk’s lead and sided with Trump. Leave. Don’t delude yourself that you are working to make crypto a part of global finance, minimising artificial intelligence regulation, helping start-up companies or protecting the interests of Silicon Valley. You have no sway. You are just cannon fodder.

Completely predictable. He rolled in the hay with the tech bros, got his hacked election, got his entree into the slimy world of crypto and "Thanks for the ride, my true love is the maga troglodytes. And money., money, money.
Dumb Shits.

The Bitcoin Coup: How Crypto Accelerationists Engineered America's Financial Collapse
Posted without comment (except at the end)
FWIW, I'm ready to join the "impeach Vance" movement. He'll cross some line. It's quite the rage.

JD Vance and the Tech Oligarchs Who Want to Burn Down the Dollar
MIKE BROCK
JUL 23, 2025
There are conspiracies that sound too outrageous to believe, and then there are conspiracies so brazen that they hide in plain sight, documented in government filings and boasted about on podcasts. What I’m about to expose falls into the latter category: a systematic effort by some of America’s most powerful tech billionaires to accelerate the collapse of the American financial system because they believe they’ll profit from the chaos that follows.
This isn’t speculation. This isn’t connecting dots that don’t exist. This is based on direct conversations with people inside this movement, people who have explicitly told me that they view the destruction of the dollar as both inevitable and desirable, who see the suffering of ordinary Americans during financial collapse as an acceptable cost for achieving their vision of a Bitcoin-dominated economy, who have positioned JD Vance as their primary vehicle for implementing policies they know will undermine American monetary stability.
To understand how we reached this moment—where crypto accelerationists are actively working to engineer dollar collapse from within the highest levels of government—we need to trace the intellectual evolution I documented in ”The Plot Against America.” What began as abstract criticism of democratic institutions during the 2008 financial crisis has become a concrete blueprint for dismantling them through cryptocurrency-enabled financial sabotage.
The Philosophical Foundation
Peter Thiel’s own public statements reveal the framework driving this project. Speaking at Libertopia in 2010, he described PayPal’s founding vision as an attempt “to overturn the monetary system of the world.” He continued: “We could never win an election,” but technology could “unilaterally change the world.” In 2021, he declared that “Bitcoin is the most honest market we have in the country. It’s a canary in the coal mine. It tells us that this decrepit regime is about to blow up.”
