There are some linkages, like Brookings, but leverage-wise it all seems much softer than with LANL and the DOE.   And it all seems so fussy and indirect compared to slapping down a few billion dollars to build a Starship.  That's the appeal of Musk:  I'm f'ing doing this.

>> Well, that ain't true, either. Like Epstein, when you "invest" in the SFI or people like Steven Pinker or Bill Clinton, you're simply transferring from one store to another ... buying influence. If, e.g., the CIA contracts with the SFI to adapt a CAS modeling tool into a broad spectrum simulation tool, they are not only buying a (questionable) piece of software; they're buying *leverage* over people's salaries, loyalty, etc. So those VCs *will* see that money again, perhaps much less of it, depending on the efficiency of the transaction, or in fringe storage types (able to get past the receptionist after eating over-priced peri-Mexican food in order to have tea with smart people).
