A map of the Technate of America drawn by Technocracy, Inc., 1940 (or the Technocracy movement), which Joshua Haldeman, Elon Musk's maternal grandfather, was a member of.
Halderman was arrested under the wartime Defence of Canada Regulations on October 8, 1940 in Vancouver, BC by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on a charge of membership in an illegal organization. Technocracy Incorporated had been banned in Canada following the start of World War II since the organization was deemed subversive to the war effort.
"The map envisions much of the Americas and eastern Pacific basin as merged into a single “Technate of America”, to be ruled by "a technically skilled, empirically-driven, non-partisan elite".
The Technate is shown stretching from Greenland west to the International Date Line and south to encompass the Caribbean and parts of Columbia, Venezuela and the Guyanas. Its territory is colored red—the semi-official color of the Technocracy movement, also seen on its logo—and small, circular symbols indicate “Defense Bases” at its outer boundaries, as far afield as Attu; Pago Pago; Cape Farewell, Newfoundland; and Georgetown, Guyana."
