    SpaceXai’s biggest client! Future of warfare needs golden dome $1T+ contract to spaceX, obviously. Another $2T for Grok built skynet is recommended.

    I suppose that’s one way to prevent US drones from being fully self-driving.

      He walks into the Pentagon on day 1 carrying a sink and then spends the first month figuring out how to get the tanks to make fart noises when they fire missiles

      According to the West, there are no legitimate targets on our side. Any and all attacks on Western military targets are considered terrorism.

      It is is beyond ridiculous. People allegedly attacking a US Airbase in the UK (maybe just stealing diesel) are called terrorists for attacking a military target. It is absolutely bonkers.

        When orgs fighting fascism are regarded as terrorism then the word has clearly lost its original meaning.

        Yeah I don’t think that bullshit is flying as well as it used to though. It’s too obvious who is instigating, and more people have been paying closer attention and learning about the history of the Middle East and the foreign policy of western governments. I’m encountering it more and more from people whom I would not expect it, and I get around.

      Well, is not like he’s got anything else to do. Being the ceo of 5 (?) companies obviously doesn’t take much of his time.

        From what I’ve heard, they probably do better the less time he focuses on them.
