Now that we know that the end goal for Trump and Elon is for us to live in a technocracy or a technate administered by a gov-corp, another step toward global government or a New World order, what would libertarianism and its founding leaders think about this?

I asked X's AI tool Grok: What do Mises, Hayek and Rothbard and libertarianism say about technocracy?

They wouldn't care for it. Grok's response:

Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and the broader libertarian tradition offer critical perspectives on technocracy, rooted in their emphasis on individual liberty, spontaneous order, and skepticism of centralized control. While they don't address "technocracy" as a single, unified concept in identical terms, their works critique systems where technical experts wield authority over economic or social life, which aligns with technocracy's core idea. Here's how each thinker and libertarianism generally approach it:

Ludwig von Mises

Mises, an Austrian economist, didn't explicitly target technocracy as a movement but critiqued centralized planning and expert-driven control, which technocracy often implies. In Human Action (1949), he argues that economic calculation is impossible without market prices, a point he developed in his 1920 essay "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth." Technocracy, with its vision of engineers or scientists managing society based on efficiency, would fall under his critique of socialism—replacing market signals with bureaucratic or technical directives leads to inefficiency and tyranny. Mises saw the market as a decentralized process where individuals, not elites (technical or otherwise), coordinate resources through voluntary exchange. A technocratic system, even if well-intentioned, would stifle this by imposing top-down solutions, ignoring the subjective nature of human preferences.
