OpenAI is attempting to transition to a for profit public benefit corporation. To do so, it needs to take control from the nonprofit board, which needs to be compensated at fair market value. OAI was maybe going to pay <$40B. Musk just made that a lot more complicated!

My takeaways were that
1. a bunch of “libertarians” apparently want to become petty despots because they find democracy too frustrating, and that
2. these people fail to recognize that democracy is one of the things keeping a lot of people from wanting to kill them.

This has been my most ambitious piece of writing so far. It's long. And I will be working on a much shorter version for a wider audience. But I also don't want to lose sight of the deep truths lurking around us. So, here is The Plot Against America. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

It's important to keep emphasizing that what Musk proposes in this tweet is illegal. Congress created the CFPB, just as it created USAID, the DOE, etc. Neither the President nor a billionaire can dissolve them by fiat. Doing so is a violation of the law and the President's constitutional duties.
