DC’s New $500K Private Club – The Executive Branch – Is Basically a Billionaires’ Batcave
Let’s Talk About This Insane New Club
Okay, so Washington D.C. has always been full of power moves and shady handshake deals—but this? This is next level. The Executive Branch (yeah, they went there with the name) just opened its doors, and get this: membership costs half a million bucks. Half. A. Million. Co-founded by Donald Trump Jr. and some Wall Street guy named Omeed Malik, it’s basically a VIP lounge for the ultra-rich and politically connected. Tech billionaires, cabinet members, the whole circus. And honestly? It’s already causing drama.
What Even Is This Place?
So it’s not just some fancy club where rich guys sip whiskey—though there’s definitely whiskey. According to Malik, it’s about building a “parallel economy.” Sounds sketchy, right? But let me break it down. Imagine a secret club where conservative bigwigs and Silicon Valley types can make deals without all the usual red tape. Trump Jr. calls it a space for “like-minded leaders,” which… well, read into that what you will.
Rumor has it the member list includes people like David Sacks and the Winklevoss twins (yes, those guys). Plus some unnamed government heavyweights. Basically, if you’ve got the cash, you get a backstage pass to the people running the show.
Opening Night: All the Gossip
The launch party was, predictably, packed with suits and billionaires. No official guest list—they’re not dumb—but social media leaks showed a mix of tech CEOs, conservative money guys, and political operatives. The venue? Think old-school rich guy vibes with enough tech to make Elon Musk happy. Private dinners, hushed conversations—you know, the usual “let’s reshape the economy over steak” kind of night.
$500K Gets You… What Exactly?
For that kind of money, you’d expect solid gold toilets. But here’s the real deal:
- Access to invite-only events with CEOs and politicians (aka the people who actually make decisions)
- Fancy dining rooms where you can talk smack about the media without being recorded
- A chance to be part of Malik’s whole “parallel economy” thing—whatever that ends up being
Not everyone’s thrilled, though. Critics are calling it a rich-kid sandbox. Comparisons to Mar-a-Lago are everywhere, and some folks are side-eyeing the whole “democracy? what democracy?” vibe.
The “Parallel Economy” Thing – Genius or Scary?
Malik keeps dropping this term like it’s no big deal. From what I can tell, it’s about creating a separate financial world for conservatives tired of playing by the usual rules. Supporters say it’s about innovation. Skeptics? They’re calling it a recipe for chaos. Honestly, it feels like someone watched Atlas Shrugged and thought, “Yeah, let’s do that.”
People Are Losing Their Minds (Obviously)
Reactions are split straight down the middle. One member told The Post it’s “where real change happens”—which, sure. Meanwhile, Twitter’s having a field day. My favorite tweet: “Finally, a place where billionaires can cry about taxes in peace.” Classic.
So… What’s the Verdict?
Look, The Executive Branch isn’t just a club—it’s a power move. Whether it’ll actually change anything or just be a glorified boys’ club is still up in the air. But in a city where access is everything, $500K buys you a front-row seat. So what do you think: smart networking or gross elitism?
