The record claims Max Tegmark is a stakeholder in the SB 1047 policy with unknown affiliation. However, the source text (the main SB 1047 statement) does not mention Max Tegmark at all. While Tegmark is referenced in a related content link at the bottom of the page, that reference is to a completely different statement from 2026 about a different policy matter (Department of War ultimatum). The source does not establish Tegmark as a stakeholder in the SB 1047 policy or provide any information about his role or affiliation regarding this specific bill. This is unverifiable from the provided source.
