30. Illusion at work?

Watch out I believe that much of what he says that sounds so crazy really has a couple of hidden purposes. The first is to always keep the attention on him.. he is a sales guy and with his other personality issues must have. The other using magician techniques of distraction so you don’t see what the other hand is doing, it is probably worse. Just look at the late breaking news how the reformed budget deal had removed the legislation intended to keep a guard on what is companies are doing in/with china. From what I understand this would have restricted the latest technologies from being transferred there. Elon had already said he was going to build AI systems there among other things…all I can say is look what is happening in the background of all activity and not just the the shiny surface
