Ex-Google chief built 'oligarch-style empire' to influence AI, Biden White House and public policy: report

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has developed a vast network of strategic investments and political relationships that's allowed the tech billionaire to wield significant influence over artificial intelligence and public policy in Washington, D.C., according to an explosive new report. The Bull Moose Project, a nonprofit advocacy group committed to developing "the next generation of America First leaders and policies," has spent months investigating Schmidt's financial disclosures, tax records, business documents and other publicly available information. On Thursday, the group released a report outlining its findings, first obtained by Fox News Digital. "Americans don't want to believe that they live under'the rule of the few,' rather than a democracy's'rule of the many' – but this sobering report is a wake-up call that our elected representatives can't ignore," said Aiden Buzzetti, president of the Bull Moose Project. "What we've put together reinforces the puppet-master role that big tech's leaders play in the public's lives. All items in this database and report are backed by reputable, verifiable sources, and we plan to update this it regularly so that the public has access to Schmidt's dealings, even if government refuses to disclose them. Get ready for your mind to be blown."
