The Guardian | Tech billionaires are spending unprecedented sums in California races. Experts say it’s the tip of the iceberg by Dara Kerr

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Tech billionaires are pouring unprecedented sums of money into California’s June 2 primary to shape the state’s political and regulatory future, funding candidates, ballot measures and super‑PACs at both state and local levels. Google co‑founder Sergey Brin has spent $66 million fighting a proposed billionaire tax, while crypto mogul Chris Larsen has contributed $26 million across multiple super‑PACs targeting races from the governor’s race—where Democrat Matt Mahan has received almost $50 million in tech donations—to legislative and municipal contests. Google and Meta have each added $5‑10 million to additional super‑PACs, and the industry’s lobbying spend in 2025 reached $39 million, surpassing oil and gas. Experts say this massive spending is an existential strategy to secure political influence that will protect and accelerate Silicon Valley’s growth, especially in artificial intelligence, warning that the disclosed spending likely represents only a fraction of the overall influence effort.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Trump to Bring Billionaire Buffer to Face Xi by Sarah-Jane Collins

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

President Donald Trump is heading to China this week accompanied by a high‑profile delegation of CEOs—including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzman, and other leaders from Boeing, Goldman Sachs, Mastercard, and more—to hold bilateral meetings with President Xi Jinping and attend a state dinner, while discussing the creation of joint investment and trade boards. The trip follows a renewed U.S.‑China trade dispute in which Trump has imposed steep tariffs on Chinese imports and China has retaliated, prompting both sides to seek new avenues for economic cooperation. Musk, once publicly critical of Trump after leaving the “Department of Government Efficiency,” has been welcomed back into the president’s circle, though he remains excluded from Trump’s new Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. The delegation’s presence is intended to bolster America’s negotiating position amid ongoing tensions over tariffs, rare‑earth exports, and restrictions on U.S. firms acquiring Chinese assets.

The list of appointees was finally released…There are still 9 unfilled vacancies on the council, so it's possible more scientists will be named later. But 4 now, #PCAST is heavily tilted toward extremely wealthy tech figures.

These include investor #MarcAndreessen , Google's #SergeyBrin , #MichaelDell of Dell, #LarryEllison of #Oracle, #JensenHuang of #NVIDIA , #LisaSu of AMD, & Mark #Zuckerberg of #Meta.

So Sergey Brin would be paying upwards of $12 billion (for the one time 5% tax), but he is only currently spending under $50 million on lobbying?

$50M is only 1/240th of one-time wealth tax? Crazy. Dude is worth $247 billion.

The Tech Elites in the Epstein Files

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.wired.com/story/epstein-files-tech-elites-gates-thiel-musk/

The #email address is one of the most important services you have: It is not only used for communication, but as part of the login credential for nearly all other services it also serves as your digital identity and backup for most of your accounts (e.g. when you need to reset your password, etc.). That makes it your most important hub for all digital services, and becomes a detailed profile of your digital life in itself.

It therefore needs to be #secure - but also respect your #privacy. And it should be #reliable and support your #souvereignity.

The most used email provider #Gmail by #Google might be secure, but most definately neither respects your privacy, nor your #souvereignity as it is one of the #US #BigTech companies that would delete your account if their fascist leader wills it (plus Google's #SundarPichai and #SergeyBrin are openly supporting him).

Time to switch to an #EuropeanAlternative - after some reserach and evaluating the three biggest contenders, I chose to go with @mailbox_org. It'll cost you at least 1€/month, but this money ensures that they won't try to cover their costs by selling your data.

As a bonus, #mailbox_org also provides other services you know from Google, like Calendar, Contacts, Drive, Documents (Text, Tables and Presentations), Chat and Webcam Meetings, Polls and Shared Notes. There's a private and a corporate option, as well as a family option (that I have yet to explore - not quite sure how it works and what benefit it brings). But most importantly, it's #German company following #EU laws, has multiple certifications and simplifies the usage of #GPG for non-techi users, while giving techis the freedom they desire.

Switching one's email is a tedious endeavour - but I believe that this is the most important service to migrating. If there is only one service you want to migrate, let it be the one that gives you access to all other services - or practically cuts you off, if someone else gains access to it!
