Elon Musk changing AI to do Holocaust Denialism is 100% what everyone was warning about. And it's only being caught because Elon Musk is a ham handed loser with no real talent. A competent person behind the scenes using AI to spread propaganda will be absolutely armageddon for truth as a whole.

I thought it was just AI I had to worry about you’re telling me lizards are also coming for our jobs?!?

The Associated Press says it was banned from covering an event in the Oval Office because it has not aligned its editorial standards with President Trump’s executive order on changing the name of Gulf of Mexico.

President Trump seems to think he can suspend the laws of the United States, of international trade, and of economics. The American Congress and US courts will decide for themselves how they will address these violations of Presidential powers. (1/3)
