A comment by White House science adviser Michael Kratsios has gone viral after a speech in which he claimed U.S. technology can “manipulate time and space,” prompting online speculation.
Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the remark during a policy address at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas on April 14.
“Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity,” Kratsios said during prepared remarks published on the official White House website.
While the statement was likely intended as aspirational language about technological progress, it has since circulated widely online, with some interpreting the comment literally.
I’m just gonna quote my wife here when I talk about outlandish work stuff:
“Wow.” - dream_weasel’s wife
Growing up in USSR we had a saying: a comrad comes to you with a shovel, points to a patch of land and says: “you will dig from here and until supper”.
I bet White House, with it’s ties to Putin’s Russia, means something similar.
They can’t even manipulate their own fool heads.
Please be Aliens bro. Please.

Ok, so your on drugs. It’s not a particularly unique technology tho.
I, too, am a source of gravity.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Perfect. No notes.
dammit
Well they’re right: it really feels like 1934 Germany right now.
It’s been 88 days since the inauguration…oh shit.
Fucking hell it’s not even been 3 months!?
Hitler’s birthday is in two days. Let’s see if Trump randomly declares war on Poland or something to commemorate it.
It’s the day that the clown traitors he appointed to destroy our intelligence agencies are supposed to hand him a report on if they can fake a reason for the filth to enact martial law.
Yep. Calling it now: insurrection act will be invoked on Sunday.
Well there you go, that’s definitely in his idol’s spirit
Canada/Mexico are already shivering.
The scenes I’ve seen of people around Trump, making sure to kiss his ass and over-emphasize with nervous straight faces what a genius he is and how well things are going, are the stuff of nightmares.
It manipulates space by “moving everything around you until the space around you is not the USA, but El Salvador,” and it manipulates time by making it seem like no time has passed as the space moves, almost like you were put to sleep with a tranquilizer (but that’s definitely not what it was)
It manipulates time by sending the entire country back 100 years, and it manipulates space by making it seem like the middle of Europe

I - too - can walk, garden, and drink coffee.
if true this explains soooo much.
The time distortion first came when a huge number of dense people gathered at the same spot in the white house.
In the speech, Kratsios emphasized the importance of American leadership in emerging technologies and criticized regulatory burdens that, in his view, had slowed progress. “We have weighed down our builders and innovators,” he said. “But we are capable of so much more.”
“Can we get some comments from the innovators?”
“No we fired them.”
He’s Talking about regulations on Big Tech in terms of data collection, monopoly and social engineering. We need to remove these people from the sphere of political influence. Break up Alphabet, Delete Meta, tax wealth not work.
