Who Trump Is Now Calling ‘THE ENEMY’?

In a recent Truth Social post, President Donald Trump stated that the White House views individuals who use the phrase “Artificial Intelligence” rather than “Super Intelligence” as “THE ENEMY.” The message was signed with his name in capital letters and framed as a rejection of what he described as less accurate terminology.

Post on Truth Social by President Donald Trump declaring that anyone who uses the term "artificial intelligence" is "the enemy."

Tech leaders adopt new terminology

Prominent figures in the technology sector have aligned with this linguistic shift. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and SpaceXAI’s Elon Musk now utilize the term “super intelligence,” which previously referred to AI surpassing human cognitive capabilities when styled as one word. Musk indicated plans to rename his company to SpaceXSI.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos joined this trend during an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier earlier this week. When asked about his preference between SI and AI, Bezos expressed support for the latter. He argued that the word “artificial” carries negative connotations, comparing it to artificial sweeteners or flavorings that imply something fake.

Historical context of enemy designations

This declaration marks another instance where Trump has identified specific groups or individuals as adversaries. Over time, he has labeled journalists, Democrats, and even Canada as enemies. These designations have often coincided with efforts to leverage governmental power against those targeted.

The post regarding AI terminology emerged shortly after Trump addressed reports concerning potential military actions against Iran. He explicitly stated that no attacks would occur prior to the U.S. Midterm Elections scheduled for November 3rd. This comment followed discussions about how such actions might impact gas prices.

Analysts note that bombing campaigns aimed at lowering fuel costs face logistical challenges. Even if strikes were to affect the Strait of Hormuz, oil supply adjustments would not happen immediately enough to influence the upcoming election. Meanwhile, Trump has continued to propose $5,000 checks as a method to encourage Republican voting.
