Or Peter Thiel using his personal relationship with the Trump admin to make his crony Kratsios the US Federal CTO and Undersecretary of Defense with a huge budget, who then pumps Gov money to Thiel investments (Palantir, Scale, and others), and then leaves the government to join one of the Thiel portfolio companies (Scale). What a sham it all is. I can provide links to all the above, but these are easily searchable.
