Trump Calls Anyone Who'll Listen to Prove He's Not Thinking About Elon
The White House frantically worked to move forward from this week's blowup between President Donald Trump and his former first buddy Elon Musk. But the frenzied level at which the president insisted everything is all good suggested the opposite. The president did what amounted to a weekday version of a 'Full Ginsburg' Friday morning when he spoke with reporters from across the major television networks and got his thoughts off his chest. It's hard to believe everything is fine when the president was going full-court press with those he has blasted as 'fake' at one point or another. In one brief call, the president spoke to CNN's Dana Bash. 'I'm not even thinking about Elon. He's got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem,' Trump said. But the president's media blitz did not stop there. When ABC News' Jonathan Karl called shortly before 7 a.m., the president picked up the phone. During that conversation, Trump called Musk the 'man who has lost his mind.' He also said he was 'not particularly' interested in talking with the world's richest man right now, despite early reports of plans for a call between the two being in the works. Then there was the call with CBS News Friday morning. The president told the network's Robert Costa he was 'totally' focused on domestic and foreign policy. 'That's all I focus on,' Trump said. 'I don't focus on anything else.' Also Friday morning, there was a call with Fox News, where the president told Bret Baier he was not interested in discussing Musk but got in that 'Elon's totally lost it.' The president's early chats with reporters did not just stop with television networks. He also spoke with one of his favorite papers, the New York Post. During that brief phone call, the president reportedly played it cool and insisted 'nothing catches me by surprise. Nothing,' when asked about the personal attacks on him from his one-time close ally. He also had a brief chat with Politico, a favorite target of criticism of the Trump administration, on Thursday. Of the breakup, Trump said 'Oh, it's okay' and claimed 'it's going very well, never done better.' Perhaps the president really does want to just get past the not-so-beautiful breakup. He also spoke of his polling numbers, inflation, and gas prices on his Friday morning calls. But it was unusual for the president to do such a widespread round robin like the one the world saw Friday morning, insisting Musk isn't top of mind. By Friday afternoon, Trump made another somewhat out-of-character move: he remained quiet. The president did not take questions as he departed the White House on Friday afternoon. It was not the first time he made an exit without seeking out the press. But after fielding calls across the board hours before, it was notable to reject giving more oxygen to their relationship.

Trump-backed bill could block Tennessee's AI laws, threaten deepfake protections
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' could change the way Tennessee regulates artificial intelligence. New language added to the legislation would block states from regulating AI or risk losing federal broadband funding. That means state laws like the Elvis Act, which protects artists from having their voices or images stolen by AI, would be put on pause. 'We are just hoping that we're not taking a couple steps backward since there's no federal regulation currently in place,' Kaley Bonett, a Nashville entertainment lawyer at Hall Booth Smith, said. MAY: House Republicans include a 10-year ban on US states regulating AI in 'big, beautiful' bill 'The songwriters — all — are entitled to revenue generated from the performances and distribution of that particular sound recording of their song, so if there's a deepfake imposing and competing with the authentic, then it's going to affect where the revenue share goes,' a Nashville managing partner and shareholder for Hall Booth Smith, Karl Braun, explained. 'It's going to be very difficult for, let's say, a songwriter to protect themselves legally from this evolving kind of internet Wild, wild west.' 'The big beautiful bill that the president is advancing does not replace those regulations with anything, which is almost unprecedented,' Plaintiffs Attorney at Spragens Law, David Kieley, said. Also at risk is the 'Preventing Deep Fakes Images Act,' which makes it a felony to post fake AI images designed to harm someone's reputation. Nashville-based meteorologist Bree Smith was targeted by AI imagery herself, explaining that someone used AI to take her face and put it on someone else's semi-naked body. '[This bill] just means that we are saying for 10 years we are going to let people potentially be victimized in this way, and that can't happen,' Smith said. 'It's not going to be any more okay for something like that to happen 10 years from now than it is for it to happen today.' 'Even looking prospectively at things we haven't really encountered yet, but this would stop the state from being able to regulate things like driverless cars in your town, driverless 18-wheelers on Tennessee highways,' Kieley added. 'We don't know really how this technology could affect public safety things like 9-1-1, dispatch.' A law signed just last week by Governor Lee banning AI-generated child sexual abuse material could also be blocked. ⏩ 'It would put child sex predators and big tech over the safety of our families,' Sen. Heidi Campbell (D-Nashville) said. 'This is really antithetical to the values that people across the aisle in Tennessee have been communicating with our legislation.' The president's bill passed in the House of Representatives. It's now in the Senate, where supporters hope to finalize it by July. Senator Marsha Blackburn has previously stated that Tennessee needs AI safeguards, saying, 'Until we pass something that is federally preemptive, we can't call for a moratorium on those things.'
