Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T market

The wealthiest companies tend to target the biggest markets. For example, NVIDIA skyrocketed nearly 200% higher in the last year with the $214B AI market’s tailwind.

That’s why investors are so excited about Pacaso.

Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso brings co-ownership to a $1.3 trillion real estate market. And by handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

No wonder the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso. And for just $2.90/share, you can join them as an early-stage Pacaso investor today.

A new era.

In a bold move that could redefine the landscape of American governance, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a brainchild of the Trump administration, has unleashed an artificial intelligence tool designed to slash federal regulations by an astonishing 50% by January 2026. This isn’t just a tweak to bureaucracy—it’s a seismic shift, with early reports indicating the AI has already tackled over 1,083 regulatory sections at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and driven 100% of deregulation efforts at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in a mere two weeks. For those tired of red tape strangling innovation and economic growth, this could be a dream come true. But as the gears of automation churn through decades of rules, whispers of concern are emerging—could this rapid deregulation outpace the safeguards needed to protect the public?

The promise is tantalizing. The U.S. federal government is notorious for its sprawling web of over 200,000 regulations, many of which date back decades and are seen as outdated relics in a fast-evolving digital age. Proponents argue that this AI-driven purge could unshackle businesses, cut compliance costs by trillions, and ignite a new era of economic prosperity. Imagine a world where entrepreneurs aren’t bogged down by arcane paperwork, where small businesses can compete with giants, and where the average American sees lower prices on goods and services. This vision harks back to the deregulation waves of the late 20th century—think airline and trucking reforms that slashed fares and boosted competition. Now, with AI as the engine, the scale is unprecedented, promising to deliver results at lightning speed that human bureaucrats could only dream of achieving in years.

The technology behind this revolution is nothing short of impressive. Engineered by a team of tech geniuses brought into government, the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool” scans regulations with surgical precision, flagging those no longer required by law or deemed redundant. Early successes at HUD and CFPB suggest a future where automation could streamline everything from housing policies to financial protections, potentially unlocking billions in investment and job creation. Historical data backs the enthusiasm—Trump’s first term saw regulatory costs drop by $50 billion, exceeding a 2-for-1 repeal goal with an average of 8.5 deregulations per new rule. If AI can amplify that efficiency, the economic payoff could be historic.

Yet, amid the excitement, mild alarm bells are ringing. The sheer speed of this AI overhaul—analyzing 200,000 regulations in two weeks—raises questions about oversight. Critics point to past deregulation missteps, like the Grenfell Tower fire in the UK, where loosened safety rules contributed to 80 deaths, as a cautionary tale. Could an automated system miss nuanced public health or environmental risks buried in the fine print? A recent study from Harvard Law School warns that rapid automation might outpace the ability to assess long-term impacts, potentially leaving gaps in protections for vulnerable communities. Moreover, the reliance on AI introduces a new variable: what if the algorithm misinterprets a statute or flags a critical rule as obsolete? Early reports from HUD suggest occasional missteps, where legal language was incorrectly flagged, hinting at the need for human checks to catch errors.

Another concern is the workforce. As AI takes the reins, the role of civil servants—who’ve spent careers mastering these regulations—could shrink, raising fears of job losses or diminished expertise. The transition might also strain agencies unaccustomed to such tech-driven change, risking temporary chaos as systems adapt. And while the economic benefits are projected to be massive, the distribution of those gains isn’t guaranteed—could lower-income families see the same relief as corporations, or will the wealth gap widen?

Despite these worries, the potential upside outweighs the risks for those who believe government should get out of the way. The current regulatory behemoth often stifles innovation, with compliance costs eating into budgets that could fund new ventures or infrastructure. Automation offers a solution that humans alone couldn’t manage, cutting through the clutter with data-driven precision. The Trump administration’s push builds on a legacy of deregulation that has historically spurred growth—airlines saw fares drop post-1978, and energy markets opened up with similar reforms. With AI, this process could be turbocharged, delivering a leaner, more agile government that serves rather than hinders the public.

To address the concerns, a balanced approach is key. Regular human audits of AI decisions, transparent reporting on flagged regulations, and phased rollouts could mitigate risks without derailing the momentum. Public input during the process—perhaps through comment periods—could ensure voices from all sectors are heard. These steps would harness the power of automation while keeping a watchful eye on safety and equity.

In the end, the DOGE AI tool represents a thrilling leap forward. The prospect of slashing half the federal rulebook, freeing up trillions in economic potential, and modernizing governance is too compelling to ignore. Yes, there are hurdles to navigate, but with careful oversight, the benefits—lower costs, more jobs, and a revitalized economy—make a strong case for pressing ahead. It’s time to embrace this automated revolution and let deregulation lead us into a brighter, more efficient future.
