    Believe me, I’m no fan of the guy but for now he is trying to spin the Stargate thing as a job creating measure. Hell, in the short-to-medium term, it could well spur some short-lived economic benefits within the US. Beyond that though, it will probably be disastrous. I really hope world governments have the sense to develop countermeasures as soon as possible, with high priority.

      That money will be paid out to cronies and will never lead to any new jobs or technology. It’s a naked giveaway.

        Yup, even if the short-lived boost I mentioned was about the people who will do work in the datacentres, he’s really doing this to benefit the tech billionaires he has swarming around him lately.
