    What are you talking about. The engineers the ground level folk that a developing this stuff yes they’re paid highly but they’re not millionaires by any stretch in the imagination. Building a system that will crash the entire economic system of the Earth is not beneficial to them.

      The main engineers buildings this stuff are millionaires. They’ve been making probably $400k on the low end and we know of salaries over a million on the high end.

      Still not enough to survive an actual world collapse though.
