The Five Stories That Defined 2024 – And What They Mean for Your Wealth and Freedom
1. The Musk Empire: Unelected Power Ascends
Elon Musk isn’t just building rockets and tweaking algorithms; he’s amassing unprecedented political influence. Dubbed the “White House Whisperer,” Musk has maneuvered himself into a position of unrivaled power without a single vote cast in his name. This isn’t just another eccentric billionaire running the show—this is a private citizen shaping global policy. Trading public accountability for private gain, or trading gain for political accountabity?
The kicker? His ventures in space, AI, and communications have rendered him indispensable to governments. Does his unchecked influence keep us locked in a techno-feudal system where the lords decide our fate, or is this what the country needs right now?
2. The IT Apocalypse: CrowdStrike’s Fallout
2024 will be remembered as the year one software glitch brought the digital world to its knees. A global IT outage triggered by flawed CrowdStrike software exposed the danger of centralizing critical infrastructure in the hands of a few corporations. Businesses shut down, emergency systems faltered, and the world held its breath.
This wasn’t just a tech failure; it was a stark warning about our collective dependency on fragile systems propped up by tech monopolies. The fix? Decentralize or die.
3. The Death of DEI: Capitulation to the Courts
Following the Supreme Court’s gutting of affirmative action in 2023, corporate America spent 2024 backpedaling on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) commitments. Under pressure from conservative activists, opportunistic lawmakers, and a fear of litigation, companies abandoned their pledges to “build a better world.”
What does this tell us? That when the chips are down, these institutions will sell out ideals to protect their bottom line. The lesson: Don’t trust the system to fix itself—it’s not designed to.
4. Nvidia: The AI Arms Race Pawn
If 2023 was the year AI took off, 2024 was when it became a geopolitical weapon. Nvidia, the company powering the AI revolution, has become the darling of Wall Street and the scapegoat in U.S.-China tensions. At the heart of it all? CEO Jensen Huang, whose vision is propelling Nvidia into uncharted waters, where technology meets power politics.
This is more than just chips and algorithms—it’s the weaponization of innovation, with governments fighting to control the future while the rest of us are left wondering whose side “progress” is really on.
5. The Rage That Killed: UnitedHealthcare’s Reckoning
When UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot this year, it wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a symptom. A health insurance industry that profits from pain and denies care to those who need it most has fueled an undercurrent of rage that finally boiled over.
The narrative here isn’t just about one man’s death—it’s about a failing system that continues to squeeze the public dry while rewarding its executives with golden parachutes. If this doesn’t scream for systemic change, what does?
What’s Next? The Fight for 2025
As we look ahead, two forces will shape the future:
- Billionaire puppeteers pulling the strings in Washington, dictating policy priorities and economic shifts.
- The Federal Reserve, whose interest rate strategies will define whether businesses thrive, struggle, or collapse.
But don’t be fooled—these aren’t forces of nature. They’re choices, driven by the same elites who’ve shown time and again they’re playing a different game than the rest of us.
