Well, I don't see anything qualitatively different from a previous post

(Correct me if you think otherwise), just more detail, and

• The government security agencies saying: "We can't divulge what's going on or not going on" and
• Musk basically telling everyone "I needn't divulge what I discussed with China’s premier, Li Qiang or Vladimir Putin and so on"

Interesting little details though.

SpaceX’s team that reports such information for its employees, including Mr. Musk, was until recently overseen by Terrence O’Shaughnessy, a retired four-star Air Force general and a top lieutenant to the billionaire, four people with knowledge of the team said. Mr. Musk has recommended General O’Shaughnessy for a position in the new Trump administration.

I am making no implication. "Stuff just happens" you know.

Sometimes it's what we don't do that matters as much as, or more than, what we do.



The security of classified documents has brought swift indictments, convictions , and tremendously long sentences of people (worth less than a billion)

I am making no implication. "Stuff just doesn't happen" you know.
