Ms Lepore has stolen my heart with this piece
'In 2016, Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, read James Madison’s notes on the Constitutional Convention ... “We’re planning a way to allow wide swaths of the world to elect representatives to a new governance board,” Mr. Altman told The New Yorker. “Because if I weren’t in on this I’d be, like, ‘Why do these fuckers get to decide what happens to me?’” ... No such world-governance board was ever established. There has been no A.I. constitutional convention. These, er, fellows, are still deciding what happens to the rest of us'

#Democrats Swear They’ll Fight #ElonMusk. But What About the Cash They Took From #SpaceX?
Musk has emerged as Trump’s far-right-hand man, creating some awkwardness for the president’s Democratic foes.

February 14 2025,"There’s a pesky fact for congressional Democrats crying foul about Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of the U.S. government: Many of them took campaign cash from a Musk company PAC.
"The SpaceX political action committee doled out more than half a million dollars to Democrats during the last campaign cycle — including thousands that flowed to Democrats after Musk became a party pariah by campaigning for Donald Trump.
SpaceX revenues have been buoyed by more than $15 billion in government contracts since its 2002 founding. The company made headlines this week when, amid Musk’s attempts to purge federal employees and starve numerous agencies to death, SpaceX received another $39 million contract from NASA."Like many Beltway players, the company gives out cash on a bipartisan basis through an employee-funded PAC.
Over the last two years, its spending began tilting toward Republicans, and the PAC’s payouts paled in comparison to the $290 million that Musk himself spent on the election. Nevertheless, the SpaceX donations could open Democrats to charges of hypocrisy."https://theintercept.com/2025/02/14/democrats-elon-musk-spacex-donations/
