Trump Just Appointed Zuckerberg, Ellison And Huang To A Secret Council And Their Stock Went Wild

THE President Donald Trump has just created the ‘President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology’ (PCAST) in order to bribe tech leaders, sorry, in order to advise on AI policy and other issues. This can only go well.

Appointed to the Council of Doom we have all the familiar faces, Mark Zuckerberg (of Facesmash fame), Oracle CEO Larry Ellison (of friends with Donald Trump fame), Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (of leather jacket wearing fame), Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin, AMD’s CEO and like a bunch of other people probably but they’re not famous enough to make my lil list here.

Now, I know what you’re all wondering, and yes, it’s true, we do live in a technocratic oligarchy.

Because doesn’t this just feel like all the worst powerful people cosying up to one person who’s slightly worse and slightly more powerful than them? Yeah, in the history books we call that kind of thing ‘corruption’.

But who knows, maybe I’m just a cynical, wisened, wrinkly old man, maybe this’ll be a good thing and these experts in their fields can genuinely advise our government to make some sensible decisions.

Orrrrr maybe we’ll just get another shit show like DOGE…

Given this motley crew’s track record for implementing new tech ethically, I’d say it’s going to be more the latter.

But there’s a secret third option, that’s probably the most likely, that this is just an honorary appointment, a gold star to keep everyone sweet and make them feel better.

Sure they’ll talk a bunch and maybe have the tiniest bit of influence but will it actually make a change? Well, I sure hope not.

(Oh, sorry, were you hoping to find out about how “their stock went wild”? Idk if that’s even true. I didn’t look it up I just assumed it because it sounded clickbaity. It worked right? You clicked, right? Cool, well then we’re all winners here, aren’t we?)
