The Headline Was "HOAX." The Sentence Nobody Quoted Was "We Already Have Tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY Power Over These Companies."

Sunday, flying home from Ireland, guardrails were fine and there would be "more good than bad." Monday morning on Truth Social the only guardrail AI needs is "a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT," a named CEO is pretending to be "a perfect little angel," there is a "SICK conspiracy" against data centers, and "Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE!" Monday afternoon: "AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX." Every outlet led with the last one. The news was in the morning post, and it has a document behind it. Executive Order 14365, signed December 11, 2025, ordered the Attorney General to stand up an AI Litigation Task Force within thirty days whose "sole responsibility" is suing states over AI laws, ordered Commerce to name "onerous" ones, and ordered the FTC to explain when state laws touching "the truthful outputs of AI models" are preempted. Pam Bondi launched it on January 9 so companies could "be free to innovate without cumbersome regulation." That apparatus was built to shield the AI industry, and it is now the thing being pointed at it. He also claimed his administration has already "stopped" a named executive from doing "bad, or potentially bad" things, which is an assertion that an enforcement action exists. Nobody asked what it was. Nobody asked whether the leakers were the two Anthropic researchers who spent last week publishing safety warnings, one of whom resigned to do it. Entry #36 was licenses, entry #39 was a reporter by name. This one says criminal.
