Take this as good news. The rats are looking to jump ship. Head "philosopher rat" first.

Why this is important, in a nutshell.
Yarvin is in effect, the "shaman" to the Thiel/Musk/Vance troika planning to take over when Trumpty Dumpty falls off a wall. (some irony there) If he's looking to flee, perhaps he feels that the entire "shit of state" is headed for the bottom, to be replaced by a Democratic administration.
The philosophy behind this "rip everything out and replace it" is shown in the links at the bottom of this post.
Immigrants Thiel and Musk eat this up. In short,
Getting rid of the whole legal system is easier than getting rid of all the judges. Getting rid of the whole machine of government is easier than getting rid of the whole legal system. Getting rid of the whole philosophy of government is easier than getting rid of the whole machine of government.
Nothing less than a full-on destruction of the United States can sate his thirst for power.

Some Good News: Curtis Yarvin, the anti-American Dark Enlightenment guru credited as the philosopher behind JD Vance, believes the Trump administration is doomed to fail.
Fearing retribution from a future Democratic administration, a terrified Yarvin declared on October 5 that he is already planning to flee the country.

Wrote Yarvin on Substack:
The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the firstI feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive.
DO IT, FOLKS. Throw out the entire "Guardians of Pedophiles" GOP.

'Reboot' Revealed: Elon Musk's CEO-Dictator Playbook

The Point: In 2022, one of Peter Thiel's favorite thinkers envisioned a second Trump Administration in which the federal government would be run by a CEO who was not Trump and laid out a playbook for how it might work. Elon Musk is following it.
The Back Story: In 2012, Curtis Yarvin Peter Thiels house philosophercalled for something he dubbed RAGE: Retire All Government Employees. The idea: Take over the United States government and gut the federal bureaucracy. Then, replace civil servants with political loyalists who would answer to a CEO-type leader Yarvin likened to a dictator.
If Americans want to change their government, theyre going to have to get over their dictator phobia, he said. Yarvin, a software programmer, framed this as a reboot of government.
Elon Musks DOGE is just a rebranded version of RAGE. He demands mass resignations, locks career employees out of their offices, threatens to delete entire departments, and seizes total control of sensitive government systems and programs. DOGE = RAGE, masked in the bland language of efficiency.

OP
Curtis Yarvin is a "thinker" to the same degree that I am an Olympic decathelete . . .

In a sane world, he would have a mimeographed newsletter with a subscription list in the high dozens

Vance is guided not just by the insanity of Yarvin, but by Posobiec's dystopian vision of fascism saving the world.

I should post Ariella Elm here too. The preamble to her 10/6 wins aligns with "Keep these brave souls in mind"

I would bet the farm that tRumps fail will be to start a civil war that he and his fellow fascists can't win
