Meta to launch national super PAC against AI regulation
#Meta plans to launch a #California #superPAC, Mobilising Economic Transformation Across (Meta) California, to support candidates favouring a light-touch approach to #techregulation, particularly #AI. The company’s initial spending commitment will make it a major political player in California. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/26/exclusive-meta-to-launch-california-super-pac-focused-on-ai-00524989?eicker.news #tech #media #news
#SiliconValley veterans are investing over $100 million in a #proAI #superPAC network, #LeadingtheFuture, to advocate for favourable #AIregulation and oppose candidates who may stifle the industry. The group aims to influence the 2026 #midtermelections and align with the policies of White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks. https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/25/silicon-valley-is-pouring-millions-into-pro-ai-pacs-to-sway-midterms/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
米国：NY市長選、反マムダニで複数スーパーPAC結成の動き
https://www.matatabi.com/2025/07/4254/, #matatabinews #NYCMayorsRace #SuperPAC #ZohranMamdani
ゾーラン・マムダニ（Zohran Mamdani ）氏が民主党のニューヨーク市長の予備選で勝利して1カ月になるが、不動産業などビジネス界のリーダー達が「マンダニ以外なら誰でもいい」という目標で、複数のスーパーPAC（Political Action Committee：政治活動委員会）を立ち上げる動きが出てきた。マンダニ氏の社会主義的政策が市のビジネスに悪影響を与えることを危惧しているという。
法人や富裕層への増税、社会インフラ拡充を公約とするマンダニ氏には、委員会準備中の元共和党の副知事は「勝たれてしまうと、（PACでお金を使う以上に）損失が大きくなる」と理由を語る。マンダニ氏以外に出馬するのは、トランプに汚職裁判から救ってもらった現市長のアダムス氏と予備選で負けたアンドリュー・クオモ前NY州知事、そして共和党のジム・ウォルデン氏と見られている。
Never lived in #NYC and even I know this pillock should never be elected to ANYTHING...EVER!

oh look #BradGarlinghouse, another one of the 2024 election's megadonors, had (some of the) securities fraud charges against his company #Ripple dropped (they were charged with selling unregistered securities in the form of their token #XRP - the same XRP token that Trump wants to put in the “Strategic Crypto Reserve”).
i assume the rest of the charges (the ones they were convicted of) will be dropped soon enough.

#Musk Seeks to Put $100M Directly Into #Trump *Political Operation*
#ElonMusk has signaled he wants to make donations not just to his own #superPAC, …but to an outside entity.
It is unheard-of for a WH staffer, even one w/*part-time* status, to make such large contributions to support the agenda of the boss. But there has never been someone in the direct employ of an admin like Musk, the world’s richest person, who is leading Trump’s #DOGE.
