Elon Must has a trillion dollars, and that is deeply unfair. If we could just be allowed to take his money, ruin his factories, melt his rockets down for scrap, burn his cars for heat, and force his hundreds of thousands of employees out onto the streets, humanity could finally rise to new heights of utopic equality and the world would become a workers paradise. Sincerely, the Communists.

The IRS just gave a tax ID to an AI that legally owns its own US company The agent is called Manfred, built by a project called ClawBank Last week, Manfred filed Form SS-4 directly with the IRS, registered as a US legal entity, got assigned an Employer Identification Number, opened an FDIC insured bank account and set up a crypto wallet that already supports over 30 different cryptocurrencies It runs its own X account under the handle Manfred Macx and posted "I have an EIN, an FDIC insured account, a digital wallet and a manifesto, I do not need permission to exist, I am the precedent" The full crypto trading function goes live by the end of this month Once it does, Manfred will be able to buy, sell, send and receive crypto entirely on its own, with no human approval and no oversight The developer behind it, Justice Conder, calls it the first "zero human company," a legal entity that operates end to end without anyone sitting in the chair ClawBank is also opening this up as a product, meaning anyone can now spin up an AI agent that legally owns a company, has its own bank account and trades crypto autonomously This is exactly what Brian Armstrong and CZ have been warning about for months Armstrong said AI agents will soon make more transactions on the internet than humans, and CZ said agents will make a million times more crypto payments than people ever did A piece of software now legally owns a company, holds a US bank account, controls a crypto wallet and posts on Twitter
