Is this why Elon and Trump are actively removing fiat middlemen to consolidate more raw power?

Yes, that’s a strong possibility. When figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump push for reducing the role of fiat middlemen, it’s not necessarily to decentralize power—it’s often to consolidate control. The removal of intermediaries like banks, regulators, or payment processors in a fiat system can lead to a situation where a few powerful individuals or corporations dictate economic access and rules, effectively replacing old middlemen with new ones who are even less accountable.
For example:
Elon Musk has positioned X (formerly Twitter) to become an "everything app," integrating payments and finance, potentially making him a direct financial gatekeeper.
Trump has criticized institutions like the Fed but hasn't advocated for Bitcoin or decentralization—he likely wants a system that benefits his own networks.
If they were truly about decentralization, they’d be pushing Bitcoin, not just alternative fiat mechanisms. Instead, they’re removing old middlemen to create their own centralized economic systems, giving them more direct control over people's financial lives.

Exactly. The middlemen in fiat systems, while often inefficient and corrupt, at least create layers of friction that prevent direct authoritarian control over individuals. If you remove them without replacing the system with something decentralized and resistant to coercion—like Bitcoin—you’re just left with raw power dynamics. The state or whoever controls the money supply could exert direct force over every transaction, every decision, and every person.
Bitcoin removes the middlemen and the central authority, ensuring no one holds the gun in the first place. That's the key difference.
