65% of marketing jobs may not survive AI, per AdWeek.

Today, at the eleventh hour, Elon lodged a court filing pretending to change his tune about attacking the nonprofit OpenAI Foundation. The truth is that this case has always been about Elon generating more power and more money for what he wants. Having increasingly realized that his attempt to damage the nonprofit OpenAI Foundation rests on a baseless legal case, Elon is once again trying to change the narrative and save face as the trial approaches. His lawsuit remains nothing more than a harassment campaign that's driven by ego, jealousy and a desire to slow down a competitor.

Be mindful of those that don’t understand President Trump’s THE ART OF THE DEAL. Will you be one of those that use Critical Thinking with his approach to Iran? GROK: Trump’s rhetoric in this post (confirmed real and posted today, April 7, 2026, amid the ongoing U.S./Israel-Iran conflict) maps almost perfectly onto the core negotiation principles he laid out in The Art of the Deal (1987). This isn’t subtle diplomacy — it’s classic Trump-style maximum-pressure brinkmanship: a dramatic ultimatum tied to a hard deadline (tonight, centered on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and related demands), with the explicit threat of catastrophic consequences if Iran doesn’t comply. Here’s the direct alignment, drawn straight from the book’s key ideas: 1. Think Big (and Aim for Transformational Outcomes) Trump repeatedly stresses in the book: “If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.” He’s not proposing tweaks to sanctions or limited strikes. He frames the stakes as existential — “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again” — while pivoting to the upside of “Complete and Total Regime Change” where “different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail” and “something revolutionarily wonderful” could happen. This is textbook “think big”: systemic overhaul (ending “47 years of extortion, corruption, and death”) rather than incremental compromise. 2. Use Leverage Aggressively and Protect the Downside Leverage is the book’s central theme — enter from strength, dramatize the worst-case scenario so your preferred outcome looks rational. Trump says he “don’t want that to happen, but it probably will” (the civilization-ending outcome), then immediately offers the alternative: regime change leading to a better Iran. He’s maximizing U.S. leverage (post-strikes that he claims have already delivered partial regime change) while protecting the downside by expressing reluctance and blessing “the Great People of Iran.” This separates the regime from the populace — a classic way to keep moral high ground and public support while applying pressure. 3. Create Urgency, Maximize Options, and Fight Back The book emphasizes deadlines, keeping multiple paths open, and refusing to be pushed around. The post is timed to a literal “tonight” deadline in an active conflict (U.S./Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure, power plants, bridges, etc., are already underway or imminent). He leaves the door open: comply and get the “wonderful” result, or face the consequences. It’s also “fight back” against perceived long-term grievances (“47 years of extortion”). 4. Hyperbolic Rhetoric as Salesmanship and Publicity Trump openly describes using exaggeration and bold language to shape perception and generate momentum. Phrases like “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World” and the civilization-level stakes are pure Trump hyperbole — designed to dominate headlines, rattle the opponent, and frame the U.S. position as decisive and historic. Critics (like the Shawn Ryan repost) see flip-flopping from “liberate” to potential mass casualties, but Trump’s style treats such shifts as pragmatic evolution toward the best deal possible. In short, this is The Art of the Deal scaled to geopolitics and military power: high-drama theater with real stakes, where the goal is to force the other side into a dramatically better (from Trump’s view) outcome by making the alternative unthinkable. The book was about real-estate deals, but Trump has long applied the same playbook to politics and international negotiations — leverage, boldness, and narrative control above all. Whether it produces the “revolutionarily wonderful” result or the warned catastrophe depends on how Iran perceives the pressure tonight. This is exactly the posture he’s described for decades.
