Elon Musk’s DOGE Appears to Be Violating a Court Order; It Has Taken Down Hundreds of YouTube Videos that Educate Americans on How to Avoid Being Swindled
by Gunnar Larson 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2025/02/elon-musks-doge-appears-to-be-violat… By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: February 21, 2025 ~ Donald Trump loyalists, including Elon Musk and his “Muskrats,” (coders and techies that are loyal to Musk) have launched an unconstitutional reign of terror through federal agencies that are critical to the safety and security of Americans. Musk is the world’s wealthiest man, and foreign born, with a dubious history when it comes to following U.S. laws. Musk previously battled in court to obtain a $56 billion pay package at Tesla. (That’s billion not million.) Tesla is a publicly-traded company and Musk is its CEO – meaning that under law he owes an oath of loyalty to the company and its shareholders. Notwithstanding that law, Musk simultaneously serves as CEO of rocket and satellite company, SpaceX, and controls numerous other companies, including the social media platform, Twitter, which Musk has renamed “X.” In January and February of last year, Musk was profiled in two bombshell Wall Street Journal articles regarding his use of illegal drugs. The Wall Street Journal’s January 6, 2024 (paywall) article carried this assessment of Musk’s drug use: “The world’s wealthiest person has used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties around the world, where attendees sign nondisclosure agreements or give up their phones to enter, according to people who have witnessed his drug use and others with knowledge of it. Musk has previously smoked marijuana in public and has said he has a prescription for the psychedelic-like ketamine.” In October, five Wall Street Journal reporters dropped more bombshell news that Musk “has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022.” In February of 2022, the U.S. placed Putin on a sanction list in response to his “unjustified, unprovoked, and premeditated invasion of Ukraine….” Trump, who received $288 million in political campaign support from Musk in the last campaign cycle, has now announced that it was Ukraine that started the war with Russia, making the U.S. look like a fool on the world stage and among its allies in Europe. Musk has also been the target of multiple cases brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission which allege that he violated federal securities laws at Tesla and Twitter (now called X). See here and here. Notwithstanding this five-alarm fire history, President Donald Trump has put Musk and his organizational concoction called the Department of Government Efficiency, (DOGE, after the meme crypto coin of the same name) in charge of rooting out fraud, waste and abuse in federal agencies. In the case of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Musk and his pals in the Trump administration tried to kill the whole agency. On February 7, Musk Tweeted: “CFPB RIP” (rest in peace) with a picture of a tombstone. That followed a November 27, 2024 Tweet from Musk where he wrote “Delete CFPB. There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies.” It is patently untrue that the CFPB is “duplicative.” The agency was created under the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation of 2010 to fill the void that allowed millions of Americans to have their homes illegally foreclosed and be swindled under tricked-up subprime mortgages that left the U.S. economy in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Since its creation, the CFPB has returned more than $21 billion to defrauded seniors, students, military veterans and other vulnerable Americans. On February 1, President Trump fired CFPB Director Rohit Chopra, who had led the agency for almost three and a half years. Trump then appointed his newly-installed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to serve as Acting Director of the CFPB. (See Trump’s Hedge Fund Guy Is Now Overseeing the U.S. Treasury, IRS, OCC, U.S. Mint, FinCEN, F-SOC, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.) About a week later, Trump changed his mind about Bessent leading the CFPB (or Bessent decided he wanted no part of the legally dubious act of gutting a federal agency created by Congress). So Trump decided to install the mastermind of Project 2025, Russell Vought, as Acting Director of the CFPB. (Vought was already serving as Trump’s newly installed Director of the Office of Management and Budget.) NBC News got its hands on an email that Vought immediately issued to employees of the CFPB. NBC News reported as follows: “Employees were instructed to ‘cease all supervision and examination activity,’ ‘cease all stakeholder engagement,’ pause all pending investigations, not issue any public communications and pause ‘enforcement actions.’ “Vought also told employees not to ‘approve or issue any proposed or final rules or formal or informal guidance’ and to ‘suspend the effective dates of all final rules that have been issued or published but that have not yet become effective,’ among other directives.” A 404 Error message appears on the front page of the CFPB website and its social media pages have been deleted (as Musk envisioned back in November) at X (Twitter), and Facebook. Multiple federal lawsuits were quickly filed against this unprecedented and outrageous attack on a federal agency. Notable among them was a lawsuit brought in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU). The lawsuit names Vought as the defendant, in his official capacity as Acting Director of the CFPB, and charges that his actions violate the separation of powers principles embedded in the U.S. Constitution that assign specific powers to the legislative branch (Congress) and specific powers to the Executive Branch (the President). On February 14, the Judge assigned to the case, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, issued the following order that included this directive, among others: “…it is hereby ORDERED that until the resolution of plaintiffs’ motion for temporary restraining order [Dkt. # 10], which, with the parties’ consent, will be deemed to be a motion for preliminary injunction, the following orders shall remain in place: “It is ORDERED that Defendants, including their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, (hereafter collectively, ‘Defendants’) shall not delete, destroy, remove, or impair any data or other CFPB records covered by the Federal Records Act (hereinafter ‘agency data’) except in accordance with the procedures described in 33 U.S.C. § 44. This means that defendants shall not delete or remove agency data from any database or information system controlled by, or stored on behalf of, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the term ‘agency data’ includes any data or CFPB records stored on the CFPB’s premises, on physical media, on a cloud server, or otherwise.” Notwithstanding that federal court order, Wall Street On Parade located the YouTube page below showing that the entire video playlist for the CFPB has been deleted. According to the Wayback Machine, that playlist previously consisted of 361 videos. (See screenshot from the Wayback Machine in second graphic below.) Dozens of videos have also been disabled on the official website of the CFPB. See examples below: Racial equality in higher education; How to spot, avoid and report student loan debt relief scams; Financial Education Resources for Veterans. In an acknowledgement of just how dangerous this attack on a consumer protection agency is, Senator Elizabeth Warren, the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, will convene a forum in the Senate Dirksen Office Building next Tuesday, February 25. A livestream of the event will be available to the public. (Check back here on Monday for more specific details.) The forum will focus on the consequences of President Trump’s and Elon Musk’s efforts to eliminate the CFPB. Senator Warren has invited Elon Musk to appear at the forum and justify his actions. Confirmed witnesses include: Andrea Campbell, Attorney General of Massachusetts; Lorelei Salas, former CFPB Director of Supervision Policy; and Americans whose savings have been protected by the CFPB.

Re: Memo #4 - Goldman Sachs Deferred Prosecution Agreement; Why I Run.
by Gunnar Larson 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

Art Director/Designer: Robert W. Wilvers Photographer: Paul Seligman Copyeditor: Gene Case Agency: Jack Tinker & Partners, Inc. Client: Rockefeller for President *Why I Run. * America cries out for a leader. Events overwhelm us. Change outruns us. Headlines deliver us our daily jolt. "Things are in the saddle, and ride mankind" -- this warning we have let come true. I run for President because I do not believe this must happen to us. I believe we can recapture control of *things.* I believe we can end the drift, the doubt, the division. I intend to say how, here, in this newspaper. I intend to write that course I believe America must follow. My beliefs will not be tailored to please the voters of this region or that. What I believe in New York. I believe in Nebraska. And I will answer for it throughout the campaign. I do not take my case to Republicans alone. It is a nation and not just a party which needs leading, healing, uniting. I begin tomorrow, on a subject that has tormented us like none other in our recent history: Riot. *Nelson A.

RAVA: an Open Hardware True Random Number Generator based on Avalanche Noise
by coderman 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

RAVA: an Open Hardware True Random Number Generator based on Avalanche Noise RAVA is an open-source True Random Number Generator (TRNG) designed to offer a transparent and customizable platform, making auditalbe and high-quality entropy accessible to a wider audience. The RAVA device's main characteristics are: - High-quality entropy: Producing unbiased and independent random bits without a post-processing algorithm. - Differential design: Aiming towards immunity to environmental conditions by comparing two similar and independent noise sources. - Dual entropy core: Incorporating two parallel and independent entropy channels that simultaneously produce random bytes. The dual design provides redundancy, a double output rate, or a unique feature for experiments employing a condition/control design. - Full transparency: As an open-source project providing complete access to the circuit design, firmware, and user-side software, including drivers, libraries, and utilities. At the hardware level, monitoring headers allow real-time inspection of voltages and noise sources during operation. - Customizability: Offering interface headers for integration with other circuits, sensors, and integrated circuit (IC) components. Users have full control over the device's operation by sending commands through a communication interface. Moreover, as an open-source project, the firmware can be updated to modify the circuit's behavior and implement new functionalities. - Accessibility: As a discrete circuit employing low-cost IC components and SMD resistors and capacitors of size 0805. Ensuring that the device remains affordable and can be assembled by users through manual soldering of the components to the printed circuit board. Publication https://github.com/gabrielguerrer/rng_rava#publication For a comprehensive overview, encompassing an in-depth exploration of the noise source, a stochastic model, and statistical tests, please consult the article - [IEEE Access, DOI: 10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3327325](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10295491) - https://github.com/gabrielguerrer/rng_rava

That is the question*. It’s Masa’s money. 💵 💵💵 *Skip past the editorial to see the list of the top 145 private AI companies and their current valuations. We are looking forward to your recommendations.* Will SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son invest in the AI Bubble (or not)? Our speculation over our last two *Raps* that the private AI company marketplace would inevitably take the DeepSeek trickle-down valuation hit is about to meet a dramatic test. At center stage is, by far, the most highly valued private AI company, OpenAI <https://substack.com/redirect/bb39e4da-dcaf-4485-9252-80f3c1f5d474?j=eyJ1Ij…>, which was last valued at $157 million during its $6.6 billion raise last October. As we and others have widely reported, Sam Alman is in talks with SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son to raise an additional $25+ billion for OpenAI at an also reported valuation of $300+ billion <https://substack.com/redirect/1b35242d-c22b-4cfa-8d95-ab117c00f036?j=eyJ1Ij…>. The test for our thesis is whether Masa becomes known as the last guy to put money in the AI Bubble or the first major player to bring the valuations back to reality. ------------------------------ [image: If DeepSeek wiped out $1 trillion of public tech company value—Just watch what happens to private AI company valuations…] <https://substack.com/redirect/70eb84d7-0469-4753-b964-07616663f14a?j=eyJ1Ij…> If DeepSeek wiped out $1 trillion of public tech company value—Just watch what happens to private AI company valuations… <https://substack.com/redirect/70eb84d7-0469-4753-b964-07616663f14a?j=eyJ1Ij…> Anthony Perkins <https://substack.com/profile/1338763-anthony-perkins> and The Cryptonite Weekly Rap <https://substack.com/profile/146561965-the-cryptonite-weekly-rap> · Feb 1 Read full story <https://substack.com/redirect/70eb84d7-0469-4753-b964-07616663f14a?j=eyJ1Ij…> ------------------------------ If we were Masa, we would throw our money in with Elon and his AI company, xAI, which is pursuing a hostile takeover of OpenAI at the moment for a discounted $97.4 billion valuation. (Which we think is still too high but better than $300B😳) If Masa is ready to go, he would be joining Elon and an illustrious group of investors, including Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, Hollywood’s top power broker, Ari Emanuel, <https://substack.com/redirect/5de0eade-6844-4a4f-91d4-8f33f61f279e?j=eyJ1Ij…> CEO of Endeavor (Princess Meghan Merkle’s agent), as well as Valor Equity Partners, Baron Capital, Atreides Management, and Vy Capital. <https://substack.com/redirect/d3304086-e7bd-40b2-872f-772fcebbf1ab?j=eyJ1Ij…> *Elon bought the old Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion and responded to Sam’s X post by calling him a ‘swindler.’* All this complicates Sam's fundraising plans and efforts to convert OpenAI to a for-profit company <https://substack.com/redirect/132d906c-0c34-412d-b513-333164aacbae?j=eyJ1Ij…>, which Elon (joined by Zuck and Meta <https://substack.com/redirect/8041cb7b-fa80-46cf-8b1b-114a1103e461?j=eyJ1Ij…>) is already fighting over in court. Since the hostile takeover announcement, Elon has said he would withdraw his bid if OpenAI's board stops its conversion to a for-profit company and preserves its charity's mission. But we all know that Elon knows Sam will never go for that. *‘[Sam Altman and OpenAI] are involved in repeated self-dealing, putting profits over safety, transferring its technology and keeping it closed source, concentrating AI’s power in the hands of Microsoft <https://substack.com/redirect/68a5d5fd-3c17-43d6-8bee-081cc93e1917?j=eyJ1Ij…>. It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens.’* *—Elon Musk in a court filing last week.* The TechBro shuffle makes for good theatre, but it all comes back to valuation. OpenAI is not going to agree to any offer unless forced by someone like Masa, and that is why he is holding one of the biggest cards at this moment. If Elon's group were to acquire OpenAI, the company would be merged into xAI, which was valued at $50 billion in a $12 billion funding in November <https://substack.com/redirect/e9e8af50-d77b-46d1-8ad1-2a08d9b70a3d?j=eyJ1Ij…>. Does Masa, or any other big investor, want to give OpenAI, with all its troubles, $25+ billion at a $300 billion valuation or an Elon-led OpenAI+xAI combo at less than half the price?🤔 We know where we would throw our chips if we were Masa. <https://substack.com/redirect/59faa57e-e9de-4c09-8f1f-e3919cf5749f?j=eyJ1Ij…> *A battle of the AI titans. Sam and Elon co-founded OpenAI in 2015 as a charity. Photo generated by xAI.* *OpenAI vs. xAI* xAI reached the $50 billion valuation milestone over 8 years faster than OpenAI. xAI also recently released its mobile chatbot app called Grok <https://substack.com/redirect/a2a2ac84-2dc4-4061-a33b-f84650f5ac59?j=eyJ1Ij…>, which directly challenges OpenAI's ChatGPT. Grok was developed within a year of the company's founding in 2023. By most all measures, xAI is the leaner-meaner, faster-to-market of the two competitors, with the exclusive advantage of accessing X content. Not to mention Elon has THE front row seat to the reinvention of government, where AI will play a central role in its transformation.💰💰💰 ------------------------------ [image: Overvalued AI companies part 2, SoftBank to double OpenAI's value?😳, The Trump Doctrine abroad and more mischief...] <https://substack.com/redirect/6dc0827f-76d6-44c2-b596-69606381cbe6?j=eyJ1Ij…> Overvalued AI companies part 2, SoftBank to double OpenAI's value?😳, The Trump Doctrine abroad and more mischief... <https://substack.com/redirect/6dc0827f-76d6-44c2-b596-69606381cbe6?j=eyJ1Ij…> Anthony Perkins <https://substack.com/profile/1338763-anthony-perkins> and The Cryptonite Weekly Rap <https://substack.com/profile/146561965-the-cryptonite-weekly-rap> · Feb 3 Read full story <https://substack.com/redirect/6dc0827f-76d6-44c2-b596-69606381cbe6?j=eyJ1Ij…> ------------------------------ <https://substack.com/redirect/cdc8e67c-f238-44f7-a309-757c66f177e6?j=eyJ1Ij…> *‘Show me the AI revenues!’ challenges Sequoia’s David Cahn <https://substack.com/redirect/08ecd6c0-4a2d-40c4-af76-321071a2eceb?j=eyJ1Ij…>.* AI’s $600B Revenue Question We did a back-of-the-envelope AI valuation-to-revenue calculation last week to support our ‘Overvalued AI companies’ post, only to find that—not surprisingly—the venerable Sequoia Capital was nine months ahead of us. Last June, Sequoia Partner David Cahn <https://substack.com/redirect/08ecd6c0-4a2d-40c4-af76-321071a2eceb?j=eyJ1Ij…> wrote a post in which he calculated that AI companies need to generate approximately $600 billion in annual revenues to justify the massive investments being made in AI infrastructure. David Cahn’s simple math <https://substack.com/redirect/3bd5c4f4-e811-465e-813d-45c851412001?j=eyJ1Ij…> *Mr. Cahn says to calculate this metric, take Nvidia’s run-rate revenue forecast and multiply it by 2x to reflect the total cost of AI data centers (GPUs are half of the total cost of ownership—the other half includes energy, buildings, backup generators, etc.). Then you multiply by 2x again to reflect a 50% gross margin for the end-user of the GPU (e.g., the startup or business buying AI compute from Azure or AWS or GCP, who needs to make money as well).* Mr. Cahn’s bottom line was that even if optimistic projections for major tech companies' AI revenues are achieved, that will still leave a $500 billion sales shortfall.😳 This post was a follow-up to his post-*AI’s $200B Question <https://substack.com/redirect/fe31a9f4-ce30-4c4b-9684-6df19702ef2c?j=eyJ1Ij…>*- from less than a year earlier. Read Mr. Cahn’s full post here. <https://substack.com/redirect/8309aee0-1d29-4cd8-b3e6-7f2b63b07323?j=eyJ1Ij…> Sequoia is an investor in Elon’s xAI <https://substack.com/redirect/17671f95-798f-48d9-8ec1-4187eb0651c3?j=eyJ1Ij…>, including in the $6 billion Series C funding round in December 2024. The VC powerhouse is reportedly in talks to join a potential new $10 billion funding round that could value xAI at $75 billion—we shall see if the $75B valuation holds up in the coming shakedown. $200 trillion and counting We are long-term bullish on the Web3 era and mathematically see it as a 10x Web2 opportunity (that was a $20 trillion boom). Our starting proof point is the 145 first-generation private AI companies introduced below. Yes, some of these companies are gearing up for winner-take-90% of the market, head-on collisions (e.g., OpenAI vs. xAI), with the accompanying startup wreckage that will scatter the Streets of Silicon Valley. However, our AI company list also represents 24 target AI markets, touching almost every major industry—an impressive first sketch of the new, more efficient, self-empowered, and decentralized world we will live in. We would further note that all great innovations are built upon financial manias, where the average investment dollar loses money in the first round. The golden lining is that the overfunding of Silicon Valley companies accelerates the development of innovation opportunities and keeps the US in front of its global competition. While the average investment in the roaring 1990s came out underwater, for example, the Internet Bubble put 245 million people on the Internet, which made the $20 trillion in new wealth created during Web2 possible <https://substack.com/redirect/50392e17-4e0c-47d9-82d5-ee3f3bd0015e?j=eyJ1Ij…>. Our bet is that over-investing in AI infrastructure will play out in the same highly lucrative way. There are a lot of good things going on. Let’s get back to reality, lower private company valuations, tighten our belts, and strap in for our most disruptive ride yet. ------------------------------ <https://substack.com/redirect/969afffe-3be2-46cd-b549-13cfd812590e?j=eyJ1Ij…> *Not a good look boyz.🙄* Lions and tigers and Elon, oh my! We did include a ‘TechBro backlash’ as one of our top dozen predictions for ‘25. Still, we never calculated that TDS would morph into full-blown EDS.😳 Perhaps we should not be surprised as Elon plays a leading role as a dark or at least ‘directed’ character in the hallucinations of conspiracy theorists from all sides of the spectrum. The Cowardly Lion <https://substack.com/redirect/0a7cfc27-95af-4fc5-8d26-5ebeb4fec840?j=eyJ1Ij…> from the land of DOGE still has them (and Corproate Media) shivering—at least for now. “The New York Times had a front page story about the horrible ‘Constitutional crisis’ going on. I have been studying the US Constitution for close to 70 years now, and I can tell you there is no Constitutional crisis. The US has a system of checks and balances that has endured for over 230 years. The Democrats and media are crying wolf. People are saying its time to hit the streets—that it is time to declare War! No. No. No. The system is working. We have three independent branches of government, and the bureaucracy is not one of them. Trump is saying its time to look hard at these agencies and the trillions they spend in ways that are not necessarily in the interest of US citizens. That is a good thing. If he pushes the boundaries, the courts will step in, as they did with Biden many times <https://substack.com/redirect/33720f12-b950-43da-b487-a40779ea1e80?j=eyJ1Ij…>.” —Alan Dershowitz <https://substack.com/redirect/f9c609fb-2521-47ef-9d00-ee70ca98ff81?j=eyJ1Ij…>, Life-long Democrat and former Harvard Law School professor renowned for his expertise in U.S. constitutional law. Back to reality, Elon imagined and is now running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a temporary advisory body within the Executive Office of the President is. DOGE focused on reducing federal spending and streamlining government operations, with a set expiration date of July 4, 2026. This is a research and advisory role to the Boogeyman or whomever he designates only, with no authority to order spending cuts, close agencies and programs, fire employees, etc. Any access to government information systems is to read-only, with no ability to tamper. DOGE <https://substack.com/redirect/e844cdb7-21f8-4df4-a8ad-1c888e83afc3?j=eyJ1Ij…> consists of 20 folks based in DC who report to Steve Davis, a longtime Musk confidant, and CEO of The Boring Company. Most DOGE associates have worked for Elon's companies like SpaceX and Tesla, and they are embedded at federal agencies to review critical systems, looking for potential waste and fraud. DOGE employees have merely READ-ONLY access to any government database that has been approved for analysis. DOGE claims to have saved taxpayers $37.69 billion <https://substack.com/redirect/e844cdb7-21f8-4df4-a8ad-1c888e83afc3?j=eyJ1Ij…> since starting its work. Celebrity Worship Syndrome (CWS) *CWS is an obsessive-addictive disorder where individuals become excessively preoccupied with a public figure, often engaging in compulsive behaviors like constantly seeking information about them and fixating on negative details to degrade them in conversations. * <https://substack.com/redirect/657ee98f-0d8a-4470-9799-b0ba8428e55a?j=eyJ1Ij…> *King of Beasts <https://substack.com/redirect/0a7cfc27-95af-4fc5-8d26-5ebeb4fec840?j=eyJ1Ij…>.🦁 Artwork by xAI.* *This behavior can interfere with daily life and relationships. CWS is considered a form of parasocial relationship. Extreme cases, categorized as “Borderline-Pathological,” may involve obsessive monitoring, antisocial tendencies, and impulsivity.* Our strong view is that our federal government is now on the road to cutting over 75 percent of its overhead under a new, AI-powered, blockchain-based structure that is much more transparent, decentralized, efficient and requires fewer rules and regulations. This system will also be much better at protecting citizens’ privacy and managing their rights and access to government services. The net result will be much happier citizens, much lower taxes, near-zero inflation, and budget surpluses! 😎🤙🏼 <https://substack.com/redirect/54e4b761-e876-40c5-aa69-03500b12e451?j=eyJ1Ij…> *You mean Elon is the real dictator behind the dictator?🤔 This $115,000 ad campaign produced by the usual suspects was nixed by the <https://substack.com/redirect/e61309c6-17b5-4dcf-89f0-eca91a099186?j=eyJ1Ij…>**Washington Post <https://substack.com/redirect/e61309c6-17b5-4dcf-89f0-eca91a099186?j=eyJ1Ij…>* *.😳* Silicon Valley U @ DC *Updating the from a 1980s bureaucracy to a more modern, flatter, innovation-savvy operation will happen. But it also means the elimination of hundreds of thousands of government employees jobs.—Seveventy-seven thousand federal workers (3%) have already opted for the ‘deferred resignation’ offer <https://substack.com/redirect/7f7cc1d7-c681-4c0b-945b-fcf490970f2b?j=eyJ1Ij…>. The Cowardly Lion, et al can be blamed for not showing some empathy—as these are real people with real families— and we should invest in them during their transition to the private market. * <https://substack.com/redirect/a8998898-3d7e-4581-97d5-29af97b8d78c?j=eyJ1Ij…> ‘If I only knew how AI coud make me more productive at what I love!’💡 *We propose creating a ‘pop-up’ university—Silicon Valley U @ DC—that draws upon ‘guest lecturers’ from Silicon Valley’s top companies, to expose public employees to the emerging worild of AI, blockchain, crypto, robotics, autonomous vehicles and drones, virtual reality, greentech and other cutting edge innovations and how they are being applied across industries. This training program would be a great investment, it is the right and fair thing to do, and comes with a huge secondary benefit of keeping our government closer to the innovation edge. Importantly it can also soften fears, and inspire more optimism around positive change.* “We can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist solely because of the power of politicians, lobbyists or interest groups. We are going to go through our federal budget as I promised during the campaign, page by page, line by line eliminating those programs we don't need and insisting that those that we do need operate in a sensible, cost effective way.” —President Barak Obama on February 24, 2009, during his Address to Joint Session of Congress. President Obama went on to sign off on $5 trillion worth of new legislative costs and drove the federal debt up an additional $4.6 trillion. Every President started their administration with the intention of downsizing the scope and power of government. Obama wanted to do it, and the Boogeyman, with the help of the Cowardly Lion, will make it happen. It’s not a power grab because, by definition, its purpose is to decentralize power from away the executive branch and the US federal government in general and back to the people. It also means more privacy and empowerment of the individual. Who in the modern world is against this? The downsizing of the US government will happen because the Bogeyman has the power to do it, and there is no putting the Cowardly Lion back in his cage. It will also happen because cutting government waste and fraud is what US citizens <https://substack.com/redirect/224f9ef2-0a41-4346-b5b5-2b08e73cd7c4?j=eyJ1Ij…>, and in a free market society, customers generally get what they want. The TechBro’s should lead the charge on investing into the re-training of existing and furloughed government employees to help them become more Web3-savvy. These efforts will also help ease the TechBro backlash—if that. is even possible. We know the DOGE Squad looks young and goofy, but they are very committed and very smart. We need to take a deep breath, let the children play, and trust there will be adults (the courts) in the room to make sure they don’t misbehave. <https://substack.com/redirect/3d577975-da9a-425f-aa76-9a641f89adf7?j=eyJ1Ij…> *As the TechBro backlash escalates, Zuck’s living his best life!* As it is in the land of DOGE, it is in the land of BigTech As we also predicted for 2025, the slashing, burning, and retrofitting proposed by the DOGE team is now being emulated in Big Tech. Zuck recently announced cutting 3,600 (5% of its workforce) of Meta's 'lowest performers.' Amazon has also been job-cutting, in part due to the introduction various robots in its warehouses, including Robin and Cardinal (robotic arms), Sparrow (item-picking robot), Proteus (autonomous mobile robot), and Digit (humanoid robot) <https://substack.com/redirect/62f19142-ff36-4850-97b5-2848c5e61771?j=eyJ1Ij…>. Amazon has reduced its workforce by over 100,000 employees from its 2021 peak, coinciding with the rapid expansion of its robotic fleet. <https://substack.com/redirect/0b3e8f20-9c15-4b01-9d61-401afd84ce38?j=eyJ1Ij…> *The Digit humanoid robot <https://substack.com/redirect/9eeb2e4b-f240-454f-9527-0b346aecf7ba?j=eyJ1Ij…> is at your service.* As Google shifts its focus to AI development, it has offered voluntary buyouts to over 25,000 employees in its platforms and devices division. Salesforce also cut over 1,000 jobs (1.5% of its workforce) as part of a broader restructuring effort to shift the company's focus towards AI development <https://substack.com/redirect/71078937-3a78-44ff-8ff3-a2b784cd7acb?j=eyJ1Ij…> . There are two major themes in BigTech's downsizing. First, the 'managerial class structure' is being replaced by flatter organizations driven by a new, AI-empowered worker class tied to specific output and results. Second, there is a shift to investing in AI development, as every tech company must become an AI company in its own right to survive and thrive in Web3. ------------------------------ [image: Cryptonite's predictions for 2025—Short Google, Nvidia, & OpenAI?, the Elon/Zuck alliance, Robotaxis takeover, IPOs up...] <https://substack.com/redirect/0017fa88-3426-4671-b5d7-29a47b517014?j=eyJ1Ij…> Cryptonite's predictions for 2025—Short Google, Nvidia, & OpenAI?, the Elon/Zuck alliance, Robotaxis takeover, IPOs up... <https://substack.com/redirect/0017fa88-3426-4671-b5d7-29a47b517014?j=eyJ1Ij…>

If so, what did you think of it? We're also curious about what other AI services you're using and whether you or your company are paying for them. Some of these are questions we asked previously, so we can see how our readers' AI use has changed over time. Hi there, Last month we asked your opinion of the future value of OpenAI.

The results of that survey *can be found here* <https://e.customeriomail.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6ImRnU2kwUVlEQU8yWGxBSHNsNV…>. This month we're interested in other aspects of artificial intelligence. Have you used DeepSeek, the Chinese AI service that reportedly cost much less to create than other AI models? If so, what did you think of it? We're also curious about what other AI services you're using and whether you or your company are paying for them. Some of these are questions we asked previously, so we can see how our readers' AI use has changed over time. And, as we do every month, we're asking your views of 14 big tech names and the tech economy more broadly. The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete. Have you used Chinese artificial intelligence app DeepSeek? Yes <https://e.customeriomail.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6ImRnU2kwUVlEQU8yWGxBSHNsNV…> No <https://e.customeriomail.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6ImRnU2kwUVlEQU8yWGxBSHNsNV…> If you are interested in receiving a summary of the survey results, please submit your email address at the end of the survey. Thank you in advance for your time.
