Conclusion

Multiple outlets and trackers say Trump posted this on Truth Social on 8 Oct 2026. The wording quoted in several posts is: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP" (Murr2, NewsTongueX). The claim is that the White House considers such users the enemy, which is a Truth Social post and not a spoken remark.

Verification

  • The earliest sighting in the material is at 16:15 UTC. @tradfi, @bwenews and the Trump post tracker @trumptruthsbot all carry it within minutes, followed by Cointelegraph and Watcher Guru.

  • The post itself on Truth Social could not be opened. The tracker's wording is a paraphrase ("Says White House considers anyone using term…the enemy"), and the full text appears only in reposts. The full text is consistent across them. I found no denial.

  • One account gives the time as 12:14pm ET (Enoughsenough00). That is consistent with the 16:15 UTC sightings.

Context

  • According to a timeline posted by LawTimesDaily, Trump ran Truth Social polls on replacement names on 19 and 21 Sept. He said at the UN on 22 Sept that government documents would use "super intelligence". He then signed an executive order on 29 Sept.

  • A summary of that order (shiestynurse, citing the White House and Federal Register) calls it EO 14434. It directs agencies to say "Super Intelligence" and "SI" in official communications to the extent the law permits. Existing contracts and regulations stay unchanged, and SI carries the existing statutory AI definition.

  • The order binds federal agencies only. It does not bind private companies (lukhachvodanh85).

  • On 4 Oct, Musk said SpaceXAI would be renamed SpaceXSI, according to CoinMarketCap.

  • MarioNawfal notes that the White House's own site is still AI.gov.

Caveats

"The enemy" is rhetoric in a post. No enforcement or penalty is described anywhere. Some of the posts are satire, such as the WSB joke about OpenAI having 24 hours to change its name.
