Bro we couldn't even get people to wear masks and get free tests and vaccines without triggering white outrage, how you think actual financial hardship is going to go over with these people?

He'll immediately blame Biden for all the suffering he causes.

They'll scream for blood, but it won't be the blood of billionaires.

They own the largest communication networks across the globe, both traditional and digital. They have access to the most cutting edge AI technology that's fast becoming indistinguishable from reality. They're cooperating with the man in charge of the most elaborate troll farm ever created.

They'll use that power to keep breeding angry, violent reactionaries who blame minorities and swallow whatever their cult leader tells them to. But that will be rookie shit a decade from now. Forget social media sock puppets, our entire chain of knowledge is about to be undermined. Bullshit, agenda pushing academic papers will be published, filled with bullshit, agenda pushing statistics, fawned over by bullshit, agenda pushing media and cited in bullshit, agenda pushing books. It will spew out at a rate far faster than anyone can possibly debunk and even if they try, they're indistinguishable from the AI-powered, sock puppet "experts" they're arguing with.

Laws, regulations and life-altering punishments are the only way to stop them so they're working hard to ensure that never happens.

This is why i think there's still such a strong push for AI from the major tech companies--it's not just about developing a product for consumers to use--it's a product to use against consumers too

In an alternate universe, conmen Trump and Musk used their sole talent of convincing fools to wear masks.
