The only language that they understand is sophomoric and emotional, so it is time to communicate with them in the only way they know how. We tried rationally explaining what was going to happen.

Someone mentioned Musk focusing on ICBM production moving forward and I don’t know if I fully buy into that idea but it is a terrifying one.
