Teslokratie: Peter Thiel and Elon Musk's Anti-Democratic Capitalism Analyzed in New Anthology

A new anthology titled 'Teslokratie' examines the convergence of Silicon Valley billionaires Peter Thiel and Elon Musk's anti-democratic economic views, using Tesla's Gigafactory in Grünheide as a case study. The book argues that Tesla represents a new 'regulation mode' at the intersection of material production, state power, and ideology, akin to Henry Ford's Fordism. It documents how the factory was pushed through against legal and environmental norms in a water-scarce region. The volume offers alternatives for reclaiming control from what it terms 'Teslocracy'—a system where capitalist accumulation bypasses democratic oversight.
