The record claims Max Tegmark is a stakeholder in the SB 1047 policy, but the source text (the main SB 1047 veto statement) does not mention Tegmark at all in relation to this bill. Tegmark appears only as a link to an unrelated future statement in the 'Related content' sidebar. The source does not confirm or contradict Tegmark's involvement with SB 1047 — it simply does not address this claim. The '(unknown)' designation in the record suggests uncertainty about Tegmark's role, which aligns with the source providing no information about it.
