If we listen to the conservative press, billionaire globalist technocrat Bill Gates is in "panic mode," making the rounds in the corporate media to push back against Elon Musk's latest cost-cutting move, folding USAID into the U.S. State Department. But is Gates, who seems to have President Trump's ear, really all that worried?

It's been widely reported that the shake-up would give Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversight of the agency, a scenario that could put an end to USAID's lucrative funding pipeline for Gates' pet projects.

Appearing on NBC's Today Show, Gates insisted that USAID's work is not at all politically motivated.

"Elon doesn't understand the importance of USAID's mission," he said. "It's about global development, not politics."

Global development? Now that's something that is music to President Trump's ears.

While Gates may be concerned that he is going to lose some government funding, he can make it up elsewhere, no problem. And Gates' Microsoft AI juggernaut is already listed as one of the beneficiaries of Trump's Stargate project to blanket America with massive AI data-collection centers.

Gates, contrary to what many conservatives believe, is not on the outside looking in. As a billionaire technocrat, Gates is already part of the "in" crowd with this White House. He requested a meeting with the new president a few weeks ago and he got what he wanted, three and a half hours with Trump. His AI partner, Sam Altman of ChatGPT, then surfaced a few days later as one of Trump's main partners in Stargate.

Trump, if we've learned anything from his first two weeks in office, is attracted to technocrats and billionaires. He likes to build things and he likes to be seen as on the cutting edge.

Trump, like his biggest billionaire technocrat backer, Peter Thiel, also prides himself in being a "disrupter." While some amount of disruption may be needed in a country as wayward as the United States, too much disruption delivered too quickly will simply plunge the nation into chaos. And chaos can then be exploited by the very globalists Trump says he is against. If Trump ends up declaring martial law to rein in protests, the globalists get their way with him again. Just like they did in his first term with Covid lockdowns. This can be seen as part of Trump disruption policies.
