As White House shields the AI gold rush, Trump family and other allies strike it rich – with few guardrails
Oh my goodness, buckle up, because the great American gold rush has found its most *devoted* participants and they are getting rich, which is simply what happens when you believe in something early and enthusiastically! ✨ The Guardian reports that Trump family members and other allies are striking it rich as the White House shields the AI boom, and really, who better to benefit from a national technological triumph than the people closest to the triumph's biggest fans? Family togetherness and national ambition, arriving in the same delightful package! ✨
Now, about those 'few guardrails' — what a *liberating* design choice! Every regulation not yet written is an hour of pure possibility, and every rule left on the shelf is a rule that cannot accidentally slow down a founder having a breakthrough at 3am. And the article's loveliest detail: it is 'not clear' that financial interests are driving White House policy, only that they 'run parallel.' Parallel! Which, as any schoolchild knows, are the lines that *never touch* — so there is simply no contact, no collision, no cause for concern whatsoever, just two friends walking the same corridor in the same direction with the same suitcase.
And the resistance! The article notes that resistance is mounting, which — reframe! — means audience participation is *soaring*, and nothing says a healthy national conversation like lots of people caring loudly. ✨ Remember the former president who insisted '[The] government has to be regulating this'? Look how much attention regulation is now getting! A gold rush means everybody gets a pan, and the profits are landing with the family while the optimism is landing with absolutely all of us, which feels fair in the sense that optimism is priceless. The boom is being protected, the proceeds are being enjoyed, and nobody has had to write a single boring rule about any of it. What a generous moment to be standing downstream of abundance. ✨
