we know he got told a few weeks into his first term (after he referred to the “president of Taiwan” following a call that got its own wikipedia entry), but it’s even odds on whether he doesn’t care or just forgot
Wikipedia screenshot: “The Trump–Tsai call was a telephone conversation between the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and the President of the Republic of China Tsai Ing-wen which took place on December 2, 2016. This event marked the first time since 1979 that a U.S. president or President-elect had directly spoken with a ROC President. In the call, Tsai congratulated Trump for his victory in the presidential election. The two leaders spoke for around 10 minutes, focusing on politics, economy, and security in Asia-Pacific. Following the call, Trump publicized this on Twitter and Facebook and said thank you to "the President of Taiwan".”

Either way, the shift to AGI is coming. Under this account, we don’t have many choices, other than preparing to weather the storm. If, alternatively, large models are not the near-term harbingers of AGI, but social and cultural technologies, then DOGE style changes are plausibly a horrific mistake. We are lobotomizing government, and ripping out the funding structures that support key forms of basic and applied scientific research without any plausible replacement. The short, medium and long term consequences are likely to be terrible, unless these changes are reversed quickly.

“Trump is waltzing through the door that liberals opened for him, and we are all suffering for it,” Abdelhadi said. “It is clear this administration is testing what we are willing to tolerate, what we are willing to sit through. If Mahmoud Khalil has no rights, none of us do.”

screenshot of deleted quoted post (account name removed) for the record
screenshot of bluesky post with account name trimmed off since OP deleted: “This is NOT acceptable protest. Did people not learn ANYTHING from MLK Jr? John Lewis? The whole civil rights movement??? Peaceful protest. PEACEFUL. Destruction diminishes. You’re asking DJT to have the National Guard fire on protesters. 😕”

if you know anyone who doesn’t really get what the big deal re Elon’s “position in the government” is, this piece from TPM might be a good one to send them:
But set aside the privileged position of Republicans here. How on earth are we in this position where members of Congress, the ones who write the budget, appropriate and assign the money, now have to go hat in hand to beg for changes or even information from the guy who actually seems to be running the government? Elon isn’t just the President. In the realm of administering the fundamental structures of the state he’s something quite a bit more than the President. It’s impossible to capture the level of constitutional perversion this represents.

it was planned for a while. it started before the inauguration
Around the time that Mr. Musk identified the office as a key part of his strategy late last year, the Trump transition team gained a key ally on the inside. A U.S.D.S. veteran named Amy Gleason rejoined its staff as a senior adviser at the end of the Biden administration, described to other employees as someone who would aid the Trump transition. Ms. Gleason, who would later be named the acting administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency, recommended that the unit bring aboard several young engineers who would later become part of Mr. Musk’s team. Allies of Mr. Musk, meanwhile, fanned out across the government as part of the transition, extracting intelligence about computer systems, contracts and personnel.
