Public Citizen co-president Robert Weissman, stated: “Big Tech executives have effectively bought themselves a seat at the AI regulatory table. Actually, they have bought the table. As a result, as public anxieties about AI risks – to children, political integrity, jobs, the environment – skyrocket, and as revelations mount of AI company failures to impose adequate safeguards on their own technologies, the Trump administration delivers meaningless agreements that impose no restraints on the out-of-control tech oligarchs.”

"So what we’re actually going to see, crypto is an important part of the story, but what we’re actually going to see in a few weeks is the collision of what really does look like a blue wave generated by very widespread public disgust with what has happened to America these past two years against a wave of plutocratic money, including crypto, but that’s just part of the story."
