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.
Manipulating time and space, hrm. I’m going to guess they bought themselves a snowglobe.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Ok, so your on drugs. It’s not a particularly unique technology tho.
Crap, they found the Democrat’s weather controlling space lasers.

Please be Aliens bro. Please.
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)
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.
I’m just gonna quote my wife here when I talk about outlandish work stuff:

They can’t even manipulate their own fool heads.

Sure, sure… Even a plane can “manipulate time and space”.
