28. Certainly a securtiy risk in Elon's hands

It was very helpful to Ukraine until he withheld it for some critical battles. If this technology has that kind of power someone will be developing it so I don't see us just leaving it to others. It just shouldn't be used at the whims of a private citizen.

Of course, now it's dangerous in government hands. To your point, I guess. But one could extrapolate that to, our whole CIA/FBI/military is a securtiy risk to America. As is Trump and his cabinet.
