if an ai is feeding him dialog .......

a) musk put a chip in hegseth's brain for direct grok control or
b) the brainworm is contagious,,
c) hegseth is a talented news reader and user of teleprompters and ear pieces and such

at any rate, giving these guys a trillion and a half would be madness.

i don't believe the "crusader" bit or the gung ho as much as trump has some great video of this guy and a flock of sheep.
