The answer is no.
That you even ask assumes that it could.
It cannot.
Zuckerberg and Musk need to answer a question: does tech have a soul?

“Deep social and economic disparities create the conditions for demagogues to prey on people’s resentments, and for democracy ultimately to fall in the way that Plato described.”

Bernie Sanders, in response to Trump’s win:
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.” huffpost.com/entry/trump-har…

People want to be told who the enemy is.
Kyle's right, Democrats refuse to do this, refuse to have a narrative, while Republicans tell you it's the fault of Mexicans/Muslims/trans kids/Hollywood/Soros/'the elites' etc etc etc.
Trump has a narrative that immigrants and Hollywood cultural elites are fucking you over and ruining the country. Democrats have zero narrative. The reality is that corporations and billionaires have bought our government to represent them and not you. That's who's screwing you over and if democrats don't say this explicitly they will continue to lose.

So voter registration was WAY up this election but there were 25,000,000 fewer voters?
Right. It wasn't black voters that turned away from Harris.
It was white voters that either didn't show up, or were more concerned about the price of a gallon of gas.

On CNN SOTU, Sen. John Fetterman pushes back on GOP transgender ads blanketing the state. "It doesn't make you a man to pick on trans or gay kids. It just makes you an asshole."

The Selzer story is not, necessarily, a Harris lead in Iowa
It is Harris leading by 20 points among women in a heavily white, Midwestern state.

The problem in this election is not Black men voting for Trump. It’s white men voting for Trump. It’s always white men. If white men would stop voting for authoritarians, this election would not be close. Do something about the white men in your life.
“Political experts and organizers – who are also Black men under 50 – said the hysteria about their demographic defecting to the Republican party is overblown.” inquirer.com/politics/electi…

SCOOP:
Elon Musk's xAI supercomputer team has been secretly courting government officials, like Memphis police and FBI agents, behind NDAs and a shell run by his fixer, Jared Birchall.
We obtained the NDA through a public records request.
