I'm sorry but this just completely sucks.

We've got arguably the most left-leaning industry in history yet every level of Democrat is hell bent on pushing it out of the party because they don't like the vibes.

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon
