A simple mental exercise using analogies, might help explain why the current branch of the simulation should be backtracked asap...

- Imagine if the president allowed Jeff Bezos to reprogram the Treasury’s payment system as if it were an online shopping cart.

- Picture the president authorizing Sam Altman to treat the federal payment system maybe as a live AI experiment.

- Envision the president allowing Larry Page to run the Treasury system.

- Imagine Mark Zuckerberg not only with the power to update federal payment rules, with access to all U.S. taxpayer data. Incredible coincidence Musk runs, privately, a social networking site...

I dont include an example with Palantir...Because some of the 19 years old bros working with the Musk team, were interns at Palantir. So I am just going to assume Thiel has all the info on all US citizens now...

No concerns with conflicts of interest, no vetting, no official role because...People voted for the current president? When did voting become a blank check?



Exactly. Voting for someone, even if they say they will break the law, doesn't mean they're allowed to break the law. AFAIK, that's not how representative, constitutional democracies work.
