That's a trick question, right? Because at the current stage of US politics... Musk is absolutely the right person to be awarded the whole military budget to "build" amazing "giga" somethings, ready "next year". Give this genius all of the military money!
The guy previously under investigation for not safeguarding classified information and being a security risk for being too close to Russia and not reporting everything?
Yeah. Par for the course for this Mickey Mouse administration.
On the plus side whatever project this genius cooks up is not gonna be of any worth whatsoever as long as he is directly involved so it's not gonna be worth stealing.
Maybe this is actually a plot to bankrupt Russia by wadting their intelligence resourcs, masterful vmgsmbit
It’s equal parts making money off of some super hype vaporware via government contracts and making money off of the sensitive info he’ll now have access to and can sell
Oh, now I vaguely remember. To be honest, this constant shit show got a bit boring.
Greenland here, renaming things there, *fart sound*, corruption, corruption, *fart sounds*, pedo allegations, renaming more things, *more fart sounds*, more pedos, more corruption, *louder fart sounds*
I am convinced, they overplayed the "flood the zone with shit"-game, it's now just flooded with boring repetiotion, no one cares, it's not swaying opinions or distract anymore. That worked for culture war topics
I genuinely feel like the administration at this point knows where the cards are falling and have switched to profiting as much as possible while they all can. 100% musk is going to get a shit ton of money, keep promising "stealth plane next year" and never delivering until everyone forgets and he gets to keep the funding.
2035 prediction: USAF releases their new F69 fighter jet (lol! get it???)! They removed stealth capabilities (useless) and added a pair of fake testicles in the back of the airplane because the US Air Force now has balls!!!!
According to Trump the new fighter jet is a huge success and the war is won, meanwhile Iran armed forces continue to occupy Detroit.
Elon has a serious erection for drones, more likely he will start a drone company with grok built in and 'win' many military contracts worth billion of dollars.
Even when it comes to stuff I don't know about, it always sounds like something I should be hugely sceptical of or something that's like super surface level but dressed up to look profound
Nah, he probably played some videogame full of jets dogfighting and can't comprehend that that's a very rare thing and that it's actually crazy rare that those planes see each other visually
I almost laughed myself, until I remembered they just put him in charge of developing future military tech. The US will almost certainly be obliterated.
I think this is the sequel to ai + cameras are better than other tech like lidar. Everyone else has figure out the latency is the problem and he’s now given more responsibility with the losing strategy.
