@JakeGallagher93@boztank@DavidSacks Ha, no that is not at all what anyone recognizing the corruption here is saying. David Sacks is not an AI expert, he is a venture capitalist & right wing propagandist. Like almost everyone in the Cabinet, he is totally unqualified for his role, and is using it for personal gain.
@JakeGallagher93@boztank@DavidSacks If they wanted a true AI expert there are tons of better options. Sacks has been a right wing propagandist buttering up Trump for years. There’s tons of things he could do if he didn’t want to be corrupted. Start with not trying to promote and generate revenue for his podcast.
@danprimack Come on Dan, the rampant inside dealing, conflicts of interest, & preferential treatment are likely at unprecedented levels here. In the age of Trump it may feel harmless, but let’s pretend any previous President appointed someone who maintained these levels of private interests.
Thank you Eminem for supporting democracy against dictatorship, evil and endless lies. In the city where I spent a beautiful part of my hockey career 😊
@ashleymayer@lulumeservey@InvestLikeBest Neglecting or ignoring the media exposes yourself to tremendous reputational risk. Musk's closing of his comms team & disdain for media has probably cost Tesla at least $100b in market cap harm.
This week, San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) canceled an antisemitism training for educators led by the American Jewish Committee (AJC), a Jewish organization fighting hate for more than a century.
JCRC Bay Area, @AJCGlobal, @ADLCalifornia and @JewishBayArea issued the following statement:
Ensuring @SFUnified conducts antisemitism trainings for educators as planned — especially as the district is under a federal investigation for civil rights complaints — would avoid crossing a red line for the San Francisco Jewish community. SFUSD committed to hosting these trainings in response to a meteoric rise in antisemitic incidents following the October 7 attacks in Israel, and we are currently working with district leadership to see that they fulfill their commitment.
We will not accept anything less than full inclusion and acceptance of Jewish students in one of the largest school districts in California. The trainings will help educators learn who the Jewish people are, what antisemitism is, and how to respond to the antisemitic hatred targeting students, teachers, and parents.
Our Jewish organizations, SFUSD parents and allies will work to confirm the district follows through on its commitment and these trainings take place. In addition, we will continue to address a broader set of issues to secure a sense of belonging for all students in the district, from reviewing ethnic studies curricula to removing harmful biases against Jews to impelling school leaders to enforce student codes of conduct when antisemitic incidents take place. These crucial steps will help end the barrage of attacks on our students that defined last school year and create a safe learning environment for all.
Do you @elonmusk believe election was stolen? With Project 2025 that he is nurturing but denies? Institutions he has threatened to destroy? With personalized vendettas? With no compassions and only friends if you're on my side or enemies? Women's rights? Happy to debate. 95% of his administration staff won't work with him again. Even for a risk taker like me, he is too high a risk and likely too much damage. Trump would be permanent damage to our institutions for decades. Harris good or bad will be 1-2 terms. I take it seriously when he says to his Christian cohort "you won't need another election".
(THREAD) I keep telling you guys Elon is obsessed with me; folks keep doubting it. He reads everything I write and will continue to.
Here he *fails* to reply to the query I *and all U.S. media* have been asking: why isn’t he remotely turning off this Tesla ToS-violative vehicle?
@ricfink@stevenjr76@bhorowitz These people do not want to be held accountable. Those with extreme wealth and/or power need to be accessible to the media. It’s a foundational element of the democratic system. Otherwise it’s oligarchy and corruption. Answer the questions, it’s not that hard.
@sfchronicle SF is one of the greatest cities in the world. What are they going to do to start defending the city and its people and values against unfair, dishonest and politically-motivated attacks?
@bhorowitz@obrien The piece was about both of you. Stop deflecting, dismissing, and denying. Hold yourself accountable. This is a professional journalist operating independently. Moritz is not going to direct her. That’s not how works. Billionaires should be required to take a journalism 101 class
