This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He collected data on all Americans from multiple government agencies, successfully killed multiple investigations into several of his companies, and secured additional government contracts for those companies. Is that what we're calling nothing these days?
And Trump is now threatening to cancel those government contracts. So he's blown everything he's gained (and then some) from his little fling with Trump.
That's what trump does. He threatens. Then in the majority of times he gets distracted or backs down. Those contracts aren't cancelled until they are cancelled.
Yeah he's all TACO when doing things that'll break the economy. But killing SpaceX won't break the economy and he's looking for something he can do that'll make him appear strong. I wouldn't bet either way on this, they're both nutjobs.
I don't know. Trump despises California to begin with and he has threatened to cut off federal funding to the state.
Even if we assume those contracts get canceled, unless they force him to destroy that data (which probably isn't possible at this point) and reopen all those investigations then that's not really true, is it?
TACO
But he also inflicted a lot of long-term damage upon himself and his businesses. So the question in the post still stands.
How will he benefit from the data he collected? He's not in advertising and even if he were a snapshot isn't worth much - you'd need an ongoing stream. Location data from teslas would be more valuable than the data could've stolen with doge.
