Michael Schullenberger is treating the story as credible, which is different from being true. Credible just means it came from a source that cannot be impugned. There's nothing about the whistleblowers past that suggest he's a liar, am I right? Do you believe that Elon Musk would know if there were a secret US government entity so secret that even the rest of the government didn't know about it? Would Elon Musk know about something sosecret that even the president of the United States might not know about it?"
