most of that 'hundreds of billions' isn't going to go towards the tech or infrastructure, it's gonna go to people. a very small number of specific individuals.
correct, US taxpayer is being fleeced so some parasites can live their best lives.
Project Stargate is funded via private investment, the US hasn't pledged any money
who is providing interest free loans so that microshit can have electric for their data centers?
Sure but a 68.4 million tax break is nothing compared to the hundreds of billions pledged privately
I trust u bro 🤡

??? 500 billion pledged privately
I trust these fake news 🤡
