you can tell he's read some Iain Banks, in The Culture novels these were called Slap Drones

I think he also used the ship names in it for his rockets here

It's a shame such an outrageous douchebag is half the reason some folks have even heard of Banks books

And he only means low-class crimes.

He's not talking about embezzling taxpayer dollars from the US Government by installing yourself in a position of the government to control spending and allocate funds to your own company - he'd make sure that Optimus overlooked that

Yup, this is for the base of the pyramid, not the top... as usual, a billionaire takes entirely the wrong message from the sci-fi that helped motivate him

Can you please stop saying billionaires. If you took the free market out of the equation, elon musk would still long dick you in the ass through goverment programs (like he is right now).
