These two wrote an article called The Rise and Fall of Elon Musk.

Elon Musk fell into history yesterday as the world’s first trillionaire.

“Journalists.” 🤡

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

Aren’t you worth half a billion dollars?

Who’s stopping @LewisHamilton from giving away his wealth?

Is it fair that you won 105 F1 races + 7 championships?

Don’t you think one is enough?

Why are you so greedy with victories?

Be less competitive. 🤔

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Criticising Islam is within the British tradition of people
discussing the merits of religions, and I can scarcely believe that some faceless authoritarian should be allowed to punish a person for doing so

Should I expect to be punished for Life of Brian ?

Absolutely disgraceful

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right.

The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will cause massive job loss. This is not a story that I believe, nor does the data bear it out, but this is what they have told us. Similarly, they have hyped the risks of AI without putting an equal or greater emphasis on the benefits or readily available mitigations.

Conservatives have another fear. The employees of the leading labs claim to be philanthropic, but what we’ve seen is massive enrichment of NGOs advancing an agenda at odds with traditional values, fueling a revolution against our cities and communities. Soros-maxxing is not charity in our book.

Anthropic and OpenAI have established themselves as Public Benefit Corporations. What could be more in the public benefit than using half the wealth generated by these companies (which trained for free on the collective knowledge of humanity) to pay down the national debt? There is no ideological bias in that philanthropy.

Dario and Sam have begun to walk back their claims of massive job loss, but the damage to public trust is done, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. I could almost support the Sanders proposal as a stupidity tax.

There’s just one problem. Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we’re already sliding toward. Conservatives rightly fear a Central Bank Digital Currency. They ought to be even more concerned about Central Government AI — a system with even more totalistic power over information, decision-making, and human behavior.

We saw how social media was weaponized to censor conservatives (including President Trump) in the last Democrat administration. The definition of “trust & safety” expanded to mean protecting the public from supposed psychological harms, micro-aggressions, and disinformation (you know, like hearing conservative ideas or true facts about Covid).

That “safety” agenda as applied to AI will be vastly more powerful and Orwellian. AI won’t just moderate posts; it will curate reality — with the ability to rewrite history, enforce ideological conformity, influence policy at scale, mass surveil Americans, and condition the benefits of the many systems it controls on approved behavior.

America won’t win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S. — and that is the danger as the government becomes more deeply involved in AI development and assumes direct ownership and control.

Conservatives are right to fear where this is all headed but ought to think more carefully about how regulations they are flirting with now (that are widely celebrated among those with a long history of lust for Big Government) will be used against them the next time a Democrat administration is in power.

Starmer hates Musk because he's given the British people a true free speech platform.

[Nicholas Lissack @NicholasLissack]

Oxford Union President Arwa Elrayess has been exposed as a radical Islamist who hailed Hamas as “heroes” and called the October 7th massacre “proportionate.”

This after her predecessor George Abaraonye celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

The Union is a complete disgrace.

A laughing, overconfident, poorly informed history student who can’t define gender identity, yet thinks we should stop the development of children because of their gender identity!

We were interrupted by another woman who tried to destroy my equipment, and then spat on me.

For the New National Hospital, we hired 3,200 people: 3,000 Salvadorans and 200 specialists from other countries.

Why?

I explain it here in 1 minute.

This is objectively cringe.

The decline of our society is caused by the decline of traditional masculine influence in all of our institutions.

Time to push that pendulum way back and then fix it in place.

Government has no resources of its own. It can only redistribute what individuals produce.

A FANTASTIC reassurance. Well done.

Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism.

Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything.

Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government.

It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company.

Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one.

That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want.

Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment.

The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.

@NJBeisner @spencerpratt you should ask her this question in a few months when it's going to be worse for sure.

Robin DiAngelo has been MIA ever since I had this heart to heart conversation with her. It’s a shame. I really thought we had a breakthrough moment here.
