White House exec forced to issue statement after claiming US has technology to 'manipulate time and space'

White House exec forced to issue statement after claiming US has technology to 'manipulate time and space'

Straight from an episode of Star Trek

Sounding like the plot of Avengers: Endgame, Red Dwarf, or any number of Star Trek stories, a senior White House executive has been asked to issue a statement clarifying his earlier claims that the USA has technology to manipulate time and space.

Giving us some serious Area 51 vibes, White House science adviser Michael Kratsios sent conspiracy theorists into overdrive when he made the seemingly sensationalist claims on April 14 while talking at Austin's Endless Frontiers Retreat.

Prepared remarks published on the official White House website state: "Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity."

Toward the end of his speech, Kratsios again says how Americans will soon be able to "craft new technologies and give themselves to scientific discoveries that will bend time and space."

Much like how President Donald Trump has vowed to usher in a 'Gilded Age' for the US, it seems that Kratsios' remarks were meant to inspire the American public. Instead, the comments were widely spread online, with many taking the wrong message from what he said. We're sorry to report that it doesn't seem like America has harnessed the ability to master time travel.

Instead, Kratsios tries to express the importance of American leadership when championing new technology, taking aim at the red tape that he thinks has slowed down progress. As Kratsios said: "We have weighed down our builders and innovators. But we are capable of so much more."

It comes as President Trump has shown he's more tech-savvy, dabbling in cryptocurrency and removing many of the constraints that the Biden administration applied to artificial intelligence.

The confusion surrounding Kratsios' mention of 'manipulating time and space' was said alongside a section about AI and productivity, with him saying that it should be "the choice of individuals to craft new technologies and give themselves to scientific discoveries that will bend time and space" and "make more with less."

All of this comes after the Trump administration marked certain pieces of tech as exempt from his recent Trumpenomics. The POTUS has been accused of triggering a global trade war, with China feeling the brunt of these tariffs.

The Commander-in-Chief has also released a fact sheet explaining how he plans to improve government efficiency with technology. This included a memo imploring federal departments to "make maximum use of technology." If you weren't already worried about being replaced by robots, now could be a time to panic.

Responding to Kratsios' words, one confused person wrote: "Sir, what did you mean by 'technologies that allow us to manipulate time and space' and 'limitless energy'?

Another chuckled: "So you guys are doing shrooms over there or…?"

A third concluded: :Uhhh Mr. President @realDonaldTrump ? How long have we had the teleportation and time travel technologies?"

Still, Kratsios' comments have raised plenty of eyebrows in the aftermath of Trump teasing some sort of secret weapon on April 9. Back then, the POTUS said: "We have a weapon that no one has a clue what it is. And this is the most powerful weapon in the world, which is more powerful than anyone even close."

Maybe Trump secretly had a time machine tucked away in the Oval Office and used it to go back in time and stop the July 2024 assassination attempt against him.
