    WAPO: 5 secretaries of state plan to send an open letter to Elon Musk,
    urging him to "immediately implement changes" to X's AI chatbot after
    it shared with millions of users false info suggesting that Harris was
    not eligible to appear on the 2024 ballot.

    Hahaha... brilliant! Musk is fighting the good fight of training people
    not to accept facts from a chat bot. If they do that, they deserve what
    they get. =)

    On a darker note, he can bet his sweet little ass that regulation will
    come unless Trump wins.

    Congress is the controlling body...POTUS rejects/accepts their
    legislation. So, Senate/House can derail POTUS's interest.

    But, on U.S. Foreign Policy Powers https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-foreign-policy-powers-congress-and-president

    Trump hikes Mar-a-Lago membership to $1m, raising concerns of selling
    access

    "Trump has set a million-dollar price tag for the ability to whisper
    in his ear should he win back the presidency in November, prompting
    ethics watchdogs to worry that the Republican nominee is selling
    access and political influence for personal gain."

    IIRC, the club members may be involved in the selection process, like
    maybe they suggest/oppose who might be a possible member.

    Some type of criteria is used....

    In Putin's Russia, that website would now be dark and he'd be offline
    getting "interrogated" by the authorities.

    Ditto for China.

    AI Shitbot, more like it.

    "An open letter", are you kidding me? "Urging him"? Weak-ass show of
    force, people.
