what could happen if you start to build the bias into AI.
And, you know, that same, you know, so-called trust and safety apparatus that was starting to be built into social media sites as a way to censor and de-platform and shadow ban, you could see that being built into AI models as a way to control the public discourse in a very serious way.
And I think that
President Trump, again, just put a total halt to that, rescinded that.
But it was also, we also, President Trump signed an executive order saying that the federal government would not procure politically biased AI.
So look, on a First Amendment basis, if an AI company wants its AI to be biased in some direction, they probably have a First Amendment right to do that.
But we
have as the federal government have the discretion not to buy that software.
And we've said that we won't.
So I feel very good that during President Trump's term in office for the next three years, this idea of Orwellian AI is not going to be a problem.
But I do worry that at some point in the future, if you had a different regime in Washington,
You know, if the federal government started to pressure AI companies to build in this political bias, that would be a very serious threat, I think, to to our freedoms.

But but but let me just.
The his comment about the job loss, obviously, is what gets all the headlines.
But at the same time, he's saying that he's also saying that in this future, there's going to be so much abundance that everyone's going to have what they want and there's not going to be any money.
So people people leave out that part of the story and they just report.
Elon says everyone's going to lose their jobs.
No, we're talking about a radically different future.
It could be the future.
