In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“We made the guess that early in 2027,”
“the company would basically be like, we are going to deliberately wake up the president and like scare the president with all of these demos of crazy stuff that could happen and then use that to lobby the president to help us go faster and to cut red tape and to like, you know, maybe slow down our competitors a little bit and so forth.”
