Establishment-critical narrative

Packing a federal science advisory council with billionaires who donated to Trump's inauguration and have billions riding on federal AI policy isn't leadership — it's a conflict of interest dressed up in patriotic language.

That's not innovation policy; that's pay-to-play governance.
