But this idea that there's no interruption and that it's this process where they just like kind of spot a mistake and are like, oh, we'll put that one back.
I mean, it's just a it's a total funhouse mirror version of what's actually going on with all these cuts.
That's actually what I'm not familiar with.
This is news to me.
Yeah, I mean, it would be kind of the first example that I had heard of this kind of like explicit and naked cash grabbing.
But but completely in keeping with a lot of indirect implicit of the exact same stuff, because since Elon has been, you know, in his position as as shadow president or cabinet secretary of cost cutting or whatever you want to call him.
I mean, he has made absolutely no bones about.
about being – slashing a bunch of departments, a bunch of people who are regulators of his companies, who are pursuing various enforcement actions against his companies.
He has been a voice against potential competitors for various of his companies.
He's got a real –
acts to grind with Sam Altman of OpenAI and is pretty explicitly working to kind of keep the government from doing contracts with him, pretty explicitly lobbying the government, for example, the FAA, to work with SpaceX to revamp our air traffic control system.
I mean, he is out there just kind of nakedly pitching ideas
integrating his own systems into the government systems more so than ever before.
He's obviously always had a lot of government contracts.
That's been one of his main things.
That's the main thing.
It is all the kind of stuff that in any other environment
would just be seen for what it is, which is kind of open graft and self-dealing in this kind of implicit way.
And if that turns out to be true, what you mentioned in kind of an explicit just lifting extra money out of the coffers way as well.
That's remarkable.
