Watch, the contract will be written in such a way that by the time the next administration rolls around, the 5% will be worth a negative amount of money, our tax dollars will go to fund them, and Trump will have absconded and distributed the $42B to his cronies and big contributors, with $0 to show for 'the public'.

If this actually happens, it will all be set up to feather Trump's nest now, and leave the public holding the bag when AI goes tits up.
