I guess I'm a Thiel Fellow now?! I'm building AI models at @AntifraudCo to catch fraudsters who defraud the American taxpayers. We're qui tam laws to sue the fraudsters directly, and keep 15-30% of the recovery. Today, some fraudster's day got a bit worse... (also we're

I warned @BrownUniversity to eliminate their DEI programs by emailing every administrator with AI and detecting DEI roles. Instead of heeding my advice, they investigated me and will lose $510 million.

I sent 3,800 emails to @BrownUniversity administrators asking what they do all day to find out why tuition is $93K a year. Instead of answering, the university opened a disciplinary investigation against me. Now, Brown's own reviewers have cleared me of all wrongdoing. The only

.@BrownUniversity's Russell Carey just threatened me with disciplinary action for saying DEI cost Brown $510M in federal funds, calling this claim "false." Then the @WhiteHouse confirmed it. Here's their letter. You decide who looks ridiculous.

In March, I emailed over 3000 administrators at @BrownUniversity asking what their job entails @ElonMusk style, to understand why tuition was rising to $93,000. Brown tried to discipline me, but I won. Then, @Jim_Jordan invited me to testify and defend the American Dream.

Hey @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk, @EDSecMcMahon, I built AI to email 3,805 administrators to ask what they do all day. Now @FoxBusiness reports Brown is investigating if I caused "emotional harm." Brown receives $254 million in federal funding. Time to step in. Students deserve

Bloat@Brown is back with a full list of the DEI bureaucrats who lost @BrownUniversity $510 million in federal funds. Two weeks ago, I emailed every administrator and asked what they did all day. After being hacked and investigated for "emotional harm", we’ve relaunched.

VICTORY for Bloat@Brown: Last semester, I sent the DOGE email to all 3,805 (!) administrators at @BrownUniversity asking them what they do all day — at a school with only 1,691 profs and 7,226 undergrads, but costs $93k a year. Brown tried to expel me for causing "emotional

On June 4, I’ll testify before Congress on anti-competitive behavior at @BrownUniversity and the Ivy League. I’ll submit a list of potentially redundant admin roles to be preserved permanently in the Congressional Record. This morning, I emailed them all and gave them one last
