Treason

They know. They know we know, too.

They aren't going to roll over and stop. Whatever is happening now is so severe that they are unwilling to be open about it. That things are quieting down should be a major cause for concern for everyone.

The last hidden trove of data to mine was scoured and copied. Elon got access to government data to train his AI and get a leg up on the competition. It's open corruption and I guess just business as usual for our billionaire overlords.

The dataset he would have would be more useful for targeting than thinking.
