Silver lining is that if if these models really can be trained more efficiently, that might mean much less demand for energy use, which has been an emissions/climate concern.

If you're not actually trying to kill healthcare and preschool for poor kids to fund your tax cuts, this is not a great look to start with
This is the problem. I've been calling budget experts asking what programs this funding-pause language applies to - all discretionary? Medicaid/CHIP?
But that requires deciphering memo as if it were written by serious people who actually thought about and understand the law

If you had any doubt whether this OMB funding freeze was illegal, this should remove it.

Maybe we should abolish Congress. They have already abdicated their constitutional duties over power of the purse & "regulat[ing] Commerce with foreign Nations" (tariffs)

This is an insult to people with autism, some of whom I'm related to. The nation's largest autism organization was literally founded in my grandparents' living room.

Let me help with context. Musk has also:
*declared Jews are pushing "hatred of white people"
*promoted the Great Replacement conspiracy theory (that globalist Jews are conspiring to fill America with brown people to replace the white majority)
*told Germany's Nazi-sympathizing & Holocaust-diminishing AfD party, two days before Holocaust Remembrance Day, that Germany has "frankly too much of a focus on past guilt and we need to move beyond that." (This was actually the main subject of our panel.)
To my knowledge Scott has done none of those things. So it should be even less problematic for someone like him to replicate this enthusiastic gesture, if on its own it is truly innocuous.
