AI’s advice on Musk Elon Musk’s unchecked power over social media, AI, space, & global infrastructure is a threat to democracy. He amplifies misinformation, silences critics, & aligns with fascists. We can’t rely on slow grassroots action—we need immediate regulation, exposure & disengagement.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.
