I didn't say America was a real democracy. Everybody knows it's a plutocratic, gerontocratic, racist former slavers' republic that pretends to be a democracy - and everybody else around the world has been following suit for decades out of convenience.
What I said was that it will officially cease to be a democracy the minute Cheeto and his henchmen flat out refuse to obey the judges. Because lawlessness is the most basic, most easily recognizable, and most consensually recognized sign of a dictatorship.
Unsurprisingly, it's necessary to understand a problem to solve it - just like the proverbial infinite monkey would in theory produce the entire body of work of Shakespeare given enough time, in reality, only Shakespeare managed to write proper Shakespeare the first time out.
AI is the infinite monkey of coding. I, as a senior developer, have spend entirely too many hours of my working life fixing code written by monkeys, and I have already had to correct AI code (thankfully small and generated by a colleague who promptly apologized and decided to do his homework and study the problem at hand instead of winging it with Crapilot).
One thing keeps surprising me: the number of aircraft crashing into the Hudson river instead of crashing into a crowded New Year City block just nearby. I don't know if it's sheer luck but it sure looks like it.
$1m would be insulting.
$10k is beyond insulting. That's probably one the cheapest entry fees to one of his disgusting Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.
Trump really has a knack for insulting people. He's basically saying "You're worth a fifth of a Tesla car". How cheap can you be...
Also, he's not done for yet: the vast majority of Musk's business is government contracts. SpaceX in particular benefits greatly from the Musk corruption. It's only Tesla that's suffering (slightly) and it's not the company Musk has the most shares in.
They're jealous because only one billionaire got to penetrate the holy inner Trump circle, like a sick South African sperm crossing into the diseased MAGA ovum, to fuck with federal regulators and help his own businesses.
