'You DON'T Get to SQUIRM Your Way Out of This': DataRepublican SHREDS Reid Hoffman With BRUTAL Receipt

Reid Hoffman's terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad month continues to get worse. Perhaps if he would stop trying to pick fights with Elon Musk that wouldn't be the case.

What he's implying here can't be smart, right?

Defamation anyone?

The FBI cleared me. You on the other hand… https://t.co/OdtO347Vas

Did they, though, Reid? Per the Community Note on his post, no official public clearance has been found.

So, eh.

Enter DataRepublican:

Hello Mr. Hoffman,

Your wording that “FBI cleared me” as opposed to “I’ve got a clear conscience” did not go unnoticed.

To that end…. Guess what?

Have you been following all those OpenClaw posts on social media and what a game changer it is?

Yeah, I’ve been relatively quiet…

... not for lack of effort, but because I’ve been hard at work automating myself using OpenClaw. Not for the boring (and socially risky) use cases of social media or email monitoring. No, I set to build a full-fledged research assistant that has access to FEC records, 990s, and has a strict entity resolution pipeline. Every question I ask it, it gets smarter because it automatically rolls in its own discoveries to the various graph databases it has.
One of the problems in tracking money flows is that the same funders have multiple pass-through sources. Which means that any given nonprofit will often have an intractable money flow graph with thousands of nodes.
So naturally… one of the first things I did with OpenClaw was to identify root funder philanthropies and group them. This was a completely unsupervised process. That grouping alone eliminated 80%+ of edge/node traversals because the big families love obscuring their own trails. Just look at how many foundations Pierre Omidyar owns.
And wouldn’t you know it? OpenClaw identifies YOU among one of the 30-ish root funding mega-rich families ruining this country.
