Yes!!

@Ric_RTP A very important case here. Thanks for the deeper dive.

In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud. Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match. Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines. Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past. That's exactly what Altman wants you to think. Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings... A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion. If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem. Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this: Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language. xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity." Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise. An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits. That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking. Just look at what he did this week: Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins. Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally. That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense. He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back. OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg. They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy." That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win. Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak. OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery. Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion. The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away. And the timing couldn't be worse... OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them. A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth. This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist. Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama. The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER. And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.

@Perma_banned_me @KatieMiller @xai @grok is this true?

This is totally false. The bill does not "force promotion" of anything. The bill would require a developer of a high-risk system to "use reasonable care to protect consumers from any known or reasonably foreseeable risks of algorithmic discrimination in the high-risk system" and to make system information and documentation accessible to the user. Algorithmic discrimination is defined in the image. SB24-205 Consumer Protections for Artificial Intelligence | Colorado General Assembly share.google/Xoy5yvYN5JPizX…

Today, @xAI sued Colorado to stop a new law (SB24-205) that would force Grok to promote the state’s ideological views on various matters, racial justice in particular. Colorado wants to force Grok to follow its views on equity and race, instead of being maximally truth-seeking. Grok answers to evidence, not woke leftist government regulations. ft.com/content/55e8cb…

@sugi_eric @candynotcandace Stolen valor is stolen valor. Period. Moore is a fraud and has been tanking our state. Sad.

@candynotcandace Sorry, but the owner of your paper is a Trump donor making you fake news. I'm sorry if that isn't fair. I do wonder who you should blame for making a political climate where such petty tribalism is acceptable.

Democrats sure are putting in a lot of work to discredit a series before it's even started running. That alone should raise a question: why? In January, I was warned directly that if Spotlight continued its investigation into Gov. Wes Moore's military records—and one of his superiors—that his office would send files to every media reporter to try and discredit us.  We saw the same playbook in 2022 when a FOX45 reporter asked why Moore allowed claims that he had received a Bronze Star that he didn't have at the time. His team accused the reporter and media outlet of bias and a smear campaign. Two years later, after the New York Times wrote about the Bronze Star Moore hadn't received, the narrative changed, and the governor said it was "an honest mistake." In an August 2024 statement on his military record, Moore acknowledged he knew before leaving Afghanistan that he had not received the award.  Spotlight's reporting digs deeper into Moore's military records and more, and our investigative series will begin to publish soon. This is standard journalism to scrutinize the words and records of elected officials and candidates who hold positions of power and public trust. Our loyalty is to the Maryland public we serve — not any public official or political party.  Our work has been fair. We've sent hundreds of questions. Most have gone unanswered. We've offered multiple sit-down interviews with the governor and his staff. They have declined repeated requests.  Moore's office hasn't seen a word of this series yet, but the governor and his communications staff are actively campaigning and peddling a narrative to smear it. In fact, his director of media strategy said this week of us, "They don't deserve to be treated like a news outlet and nothing that comes out of Sinclair should be taken seriously." They continued this effort last night in an interview on MSNOW with Jen Psaki, Biden's former press secretary.  The real questions you should be asking right now: Why don't they want you to read the series? What is it they don't want you to know? And if we're so wrong about everything, why not just release the records and prove it? If you want to know more, keep reading The Baltimore Sun, a 200-year-old newspaper that has survived many governors.

We need less Wes.

@MattMorgan29A Keep it up Matt! Keep the pressure on and get the word out to more Marylanders of how they’re being so poorly represented by Dems in Annapolis.

You've got to be kidding me. It's Groundhog Day in Annapolis again. The Democrats in the Maryland House of Delegates just pulled a fast one, amending their gerrymandering scheme onto another bill, and we are trying to remove it. It's the same old political game, and frankly, it's pathetic. While they're busy trying to rig the system and disenfranchise voters, Marylanders are struggling with soaring grocery prices, insane electricity bills, and crushing taxes. Imagine if they put half the effort they spend on partisan power plays into actually helping people. This isn't just a distraction; it's a disgrace.

@ConceptualJames @SBucci Completely agree. Sailed through at DCA yesterday. And again at RSW this morning. ICE helping was seen and felt. And interestingly everyone - TSA and ICE seemed more cheerful than usual.

As it turns out, ICE agents are vastly more pleasant to deal with than TSA usually is. Maybe it's because it's a new, temporary thing for them, maybe it's because the job is gentle and safe, and maybe it's because they're fit, capable, and confident, but the experience was 10/10.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥: "𝗜𝗙 𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔, 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗕𝗘 𝟮𝟰/𝟳 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦" He's right. And he knows they know he's right. Stephen Miller just read the scorecard out loud. In one year under President Trump: 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. And the headline number: the lowest national murder rate in 125 years. Not five years. Not ten. Not a generation. 𝟭𝟮𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. Now ask yourself: if a Democrat president had delivered those numbers, what would the front page of every newspaper in America look like right now? What would the lead story on every network be? What would the tone of every late-night monologue be? You know the answer. You've seen it before. Instead the media spent today covering whether Tom Homan had a well-thought-out plan to guard airport exits. They spent last week debating whether ICE agents would brutalize travelers. They spent the week before that explaining why Iran was probably telling the truth and Trump wasn't. Miller's point isn't partisan. It's mathematical. These are the largest improvements in public safety in the history of this country — achieved in a single year — and the people whose job it is to inform the American public have buried them.

My team, myself & @camhigby were just violently assaulted on Skid Row, my camera crew were punched in the neck and face, we were pepper sprayed, but thankfully just escaped. Some members of our team had to run 10 blocks to get out. We were in the heart of Skid Row confronting the petitioners who @Savsays and my team caught on tape illegally offering drugs for ballot signatures. Please share this video to understand what we’re up against.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

My son was saying he might want to go to high school. I woke him up at 7:30 today to go to a Shakespeare competition and he has now changed his mind.

@MattWalshBlog A true classic. Look out for the Banshee!

@rorycooper @mkhammer Yes!!!

Ok, so kids got a half day off school today for a quick and mild rain storm. Glad it was nothing. Now make Wednesday or Friday a full school day instead of no explanation "student holidays". That's what a functioning school district would do.

.@ashleyhayek brings the focus back where it belongs: the SAVE America Act, @POTUS’s #1 priority.

@SenGillibrand You are an embarrassment, Senator Gillibrand. Delete your post immediately and apologize now.

This type of Islamophobia is disgraceful and unbecoming of a senator. Delete it immediately and apologize.

These Iranian women are so brave. They are true heroes. One has to believe they knew when they refused to sing the anthem that they were making themselves and their families targets of the regime. One has to believe their families said do it. This is your shot. Do it. And that the families have already suffered the consequences of unleashing their daughters into the world. Thinking about it makes me cry. They’re so courageous. True freedom fighters. The personal IS political. And where are all the so called feminist athletes speaking up in their defense? Nowhere to be found. They don’t know true courage. They’re frauds. Yes you Megan Rapinoe. Can’t even offer a modicum of support for these female athletes? Instead you choose to take offense about a dumb locker room joke and call yourself principled. Please. Pray for these girls and their families. ❤️

@ClayTravis @A1Policy @Outkick Thank you @ClayTravis

The final speech of coach Lou Holtz’s life from this past November. Take the time to watch it and thanks to @A1Policy for sharing this with @outkick. RIP to Coach Holtz, a great man:

This is the moment when @CBSNews anchor told me the news about the elimination of @khamenei_ir. This is what it looks like when a survivor hears that her oppressor is gone. And you Zohran Mamdani keep quiet and listen to Iranians.
