John,
Donald Trump’s new AI plan gives corporate tech giants sweeping power over our future. It dismantles oversight, fast-tracks projects without public input, and cements the influence of companies like Google and Elon Musk’s xAI in decisions that will shape our lives for decades.
The plan overrides state laws and blocks communities from passing protections against harmful AI systems like discriminatory policing or biased hiring tools. States that refuse to comply could lose federal funding. This is a direct attack on local accountability and the democratic right to self-govern.
Trump’s proposal strips diversity, equity, and inclusion protections from federal AI frameworks. It orders agencies to erase references to discrimination, misinformation, and climate considerations. Without these safeguards, there will be nothing to prevent AI from perpetuating racism, sexism, and inequality which is what we’re already seeing from Musk’s AI chatbot Grok.
This is political interference in technology on a massive scale, with corporate partners eager to align with his agenda.
Tell Congress: Oppose Trump’s AI plan. Do not give more power to Google and Musk’s xAI.
Musk’s xAI was quietly added to major Pentagon AI contracts despite lacking a proven federal track record, raising serious concerns about favoritism and conflicts of interest.
Giving Google and xAI more control over federal AI policy will lock everyday Americans out of the decisions that shape jobs, rights, and freedoms. These companies already dominate the tech landscape and cannot be trusted to put the public interest first.
Once this power is handed over, it will be nearly impossible to reclaim. The rules will be written by the corporations themselves, not by the people or their elected representatives.
Congress can stop this plan, but it must feel overwhelming grassroots pressure to act now.
Join us in telling Congress to reject Trump’s AI power grab for Google and Musk’s xAI.
Together, we can stop Trump’s AI power grab and protect democracy from Big Tech control.
