Elonoboam (noun)
A hypothetical artificial intelligence system, named after Elon Musk and Rehoboam from Westworld (Season 3). Unlike its fictional counterpart, Elonoboam is envisioned as an advisory AI that optimizes societal functions without enforcing deterministic control. It serves as a predictive and strategic tool for governance, economics, and technological advancement while maintaining human autonomy.

As government layoffs and agency closures accelerate under Elon Musk’s leadership, some have coined the term ‘Elonoboam’ to describe a possible shift toward AI-driven governance—though whether such a system will ever take control remains uncertain."
