    Says the shark that will ONLY deal with entrepreneurs that refuse to make anything in America and source products from China to sell at Wal Mart.

    Who cares what this angry little outsider says. He and Danielle Smith should pick a lane and move to the united states once and for all. Then they’ll be really tiny little fishies in a super big pond.

      I do hate him, but I have to be careful. That sounds like enough cringe to do permanent damage.

    “Who would want us to stop building our electrical grid? Who would want to stop us from having compute capacity to develop AI? Which adversary would want that? There’s only one. It’s China.”

    Nope. They’re busy getting rich from investimg in shit the world actually wants.

    Anyone can build a data centre whenever they want. There’s only one threat and China is already well ahead of it; cheaper data centre options thanks to dominating the renewables market.

    So go on and expand your grid, Kev. Its the big-brain move 👍

    If China actually did what O’Leary says, I would be clapping for China for funding positive things. Fuck Kevin O’Leary.
