Elon Musk wants to end the Federal Reserve
Billionaire Elon Musk supports calls to end the Federal Reserve by retweeting a social media post from Utah Senator Mike Lee arguing that the Federal Reserve needs greater oversight from the U.S. executive branch. It seemed like it was.
Lee argued that the current lack of management oversight of banks is unconstitutional and called for a complete shutdown of the Federal Reserve.
Musk reposted Lee’s argument with a 100% emoji, echoing widespread calls from sound money advocates to abolish the central bank established in 1913.
Snowden calls for decentralization and criticizes VC influence over Solana.
Privacy advocate and former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden spoke about decentralization while attending Near’s Redacted conference in Bangkok, Thailand.
While speaking on topics such as cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology, Snowden also spoke about the influence of venture capital (VC) on blockchain projects, citing Solana as an example.
He described Solana as “born out of prison” due to massive VC funding, suggesting that financial backing could hinder the blockchain network’s ability to operate independently.
While Snowden acknowledged Solana’s rapid growth, he expressed concern that too much ownership had been transferred to investors. But he did note that Solana could “be something” in the future.
Throughout his speech, Snowden emphasized the importance of decentralization to counter widespread surveillance capabilities enabled by AI.
He warned that AI-based surveillance could allow governments and corporations to process large amounts of personal data in real time, potentially paving the way for large-scale, real-time data analytics.
“They want to train you on everything, and be able to tell who looks anomalous (…) look at everyone, look at the entire human body, and pick out the weird ones.”
