As the saying goes…
“First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then they add you to the S&P 500.”
…or something like that.
I applaud @realDonaldTrump for his recent Executive Order to eliminate unnecessary waste of taxpayer dollars and leverage the power of the private sector in government contracting.
Previous administrations abused the Federal contracting framework by wasting time and money building government products instead of integrating proven commercial solutions. The government then gave preference to its own inferior products, which led to increased fraud, waste, and abuse.
If we unleash the power of the private sector to fight challenges like deepfakes and AI-driven fraud, we will better protect the American taxpayer. Government-built technology solutions rarely work. Just visit a DMV!
America is best when government partners with the best of the private sector and unleashes the free market to serve Americans. 🇺🇸
