It couldn’t be clearer that the whole purpose of firing all these staff is to privatize everything by force, and follow through with their plans to form corporate fiefdoms.
CFPB was setting right decades of wrongs, but Elon Musk decided it all belongs to him.

Nobody voted for Elon Musk and what is he doing with American data? I’ve worked for government, and one big rule in government work is that you sign agreements that you understand that you can’t attach anything to government computers. You’re not even supposed to plug in a USB spotlight lamp to government equipment. There’s […]

Trump admin executive order lets tech tycoon villains do secret unsafe AI programs.
I don’t think tech tycoons ought to have complete opacity to run whatever AI stuff out there that they want to.
Tiktok is dead, long live tiktok.
All the platforms with their black box manipulative algorithms are problematic.
Far from being satisfied, winning just emboldens the violent Trumpies.
