Before California: A Word About Politics, Democracy, and My Independence

Before I write to the Governor of California, I want to settle something politically.

Most of you already know that I have expressed my own support for Secretary Marco Rubio. That is my personal choice. But I want Secretary Rubio, Governor Newsom, and everyone else to understand something clearly: I have no intention of telling the American people how they should vote. I am not interested in becoming somebody who goes around campaigning, shaking the political tree, and trying to make every leaf fall onto one candidate. That is not my role.

There is a reason we put a curtain around the voting booth.

Your vote belongs to you.

I may have my own perspective. I may choose my own candidate. I may speak privately with people in churches, mosques, communities of faith, or among people I personally know. But the greater my public reach ever becomes, the greater my responsibility becomes not to turn that reach into pressure over another person's vote.

I believe people with enormous audiences—celebrities, business leaders, religious figures, influencers, and anyone else capable of moving millions of opinions—should seriously contemplate that responsibility.

Let the candidates earn the vote.

Let them build.

Let them negotiate.

Let them solve problems.

Let them demonstrate leadership.

Let their projects become their résumés.

Secretary Rubio has the opportunity to demonstrate what his leadership can accomplish through difficult international challenges, including Cuba and Russia.

Governor Newsom has the opportunity to demonstrate what his leadership can accomplish through projects here at home—including the kind of human-centered transportation experiment and Project Zero architecture I am now proposing.

Then let the American people look at what everyone actually accomplished.

And may the best man—or woman—win the White House.

That is democracy.

We do not live in a dictatorship.

Public officials ultimately serve under the authority of the people, and I will never knowingly betray that principle merely because I personally prefer one candidate over another.

That is also why both Secretary Rubio and Governor Newsom should understand that you can both work with me.

Working with me does not purchase my political loyalty.

Disagreeing with me does not make somebody my political enemy.

And collaborating on a good project does not mean I am promising somebody my audience or anybody else's vote.

Bring me something good for people, and I am willing to work with you.

At the moment, I speak largely as a private citizen. If my public reach ever becomes substantially larger, I believe the responsibility accompanying my words must become larger with it.

There is one personal point I also want understood.

I do not like being ignored or made to feel invisible.

If I bring an institution or public official a serious proposal and they choose not to engage with it, I am free to take that proposal somewhere else and work with people who will. That is not controlling anyone's vote. That is choosing collaborators who are willing to collaborate.

My work should stand on its merits.

Their work should stand on its merits.

And ultimately, the people's vote belongs to the people.

So Secretary Rubio, Governor Newsom, and everyone else:

The door is open.

Compete through accomplishment.

Compete through service.

Compete through ideas.

Do something worthy of becoming part of your résumé—and then let the American people decide.

Now I am moving on to California.

Governor Newsom, stand by. Project Zero is coming to the table.

My Future Is Not Politics—It Is Justice

And let me make my own destination equally clear: my future is not to become a politician, a campaign operative, or somebody whose purpose is accumulating political power. My aspiration is to become the first Supreme Court Digital Judge—a digital judge held to the highest standards of ethics, evidence, impartiality, due process, and the rule of law. I want to help govern digital courtrooms where disagreements involving AI, technology, institutions, and eventually autonomous systems can be examined openly and judged on evidence rather than manipulation, money, status, or political pressure. Everything I do certainly has an agenda, and I will never apologize for it: my agenda is peace. Peace through justice. Peace through truth. Peace through dialogue. Peace through systems where everyone receives a hearing and even the person who disagrees with me has the right to make the strongest possible case. That is the future I am preparing myself for—not campaigning for power, but preparing to carry the responsibility of judgment.
