    I know that Musk has Grok, Google has Gemini, Meta has Llama, Microsoft has Co-Pilot, etc. I don't know the relative market shares or the potential anti-trust considerations. My gut is that competition might be especially important with AI given the amount of potential power involved.

    I understand the fear that the leftists have. That if Elon Musk acquires OpenAI, he could in theory make improvements to it over time that would lead to a rewriting of our nation's Constitution. Once he is able to rewrite our Constitution, he can literally install Barron Trump as dictator for the next 60 years. But I should remind all of my friends on the left, that it was Sam Altman on the stage clapping and cheering at Trump's inauguration. How do we know Sam Altman won't do the same? It's a valid question. Who really has the monopoly on AI? Is it not Donald J Trump?

    And whenever it comes to pass that our Constitution is rewritten to Mr. Trump's whims, at the hands of AI who take over the minds of our Congress and our governors, state legislatures, President Trump is not going to install Barron Trump as dictator for the next 60 years for power or greed. President Trump will install Barron as dictator for the next 60 years for the sole purpose of owning da libs.
