Musk managed once again to steal public subventions...

Am I the only one seeing a kind of bribery attempt with the expectation that Musk will stop publicly asking about the Epstein files?

    I doubt it. There are also contracts with the other major AI providers.

    This is merely standard operating procedure for Washington, no matter who is in power.

      er, no, normally random rich guys don’t get to be co-president.

      the US has been fairly fucked for a while but the endemic corruption and the deconstruction of the state under Trump is a huge step change, not “lol both sides”.

    Weird how no one cared about the merger of Silicon Valley and the government pre-Trump. Pretty much every tech CEO had Obama on call, which was seen as a good thing by most here. And then there's what happened during the pandemic, which also was quite popular here on HN.
