Screenshot of a post from The Kobeissi Letter on X reading: “BREAKING: Elon Musk says SpaceXAI will be renamed to ‘SpaceXSI’ after President Trump changed the name of ‘Artificial Intelligence (AI)’ to ‘Super Intelligence (SI).’ ‘No more AI. SI. It’s better,’ Elon Musk says.” Below the text is a photo showing Donald Trump and Elon Musk standing outdoors with a group of officials and tech executives.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.
