o Musk is having a conversation with his own AI and scolding it and saying that it's using bad sources and he's going to fix it. Now that's funny. Well, speaking of Elon Musk, apparently Tesla, according to CNBC, has just signed a deal with China to build their largest grid-scale battery power plant. Now I think the batteries are also made in China, but they've got a battery factory in Shanghai a…

So here's my take, and he may have already answered this. I don't know. But I weighed in on that. And I said in the comments, I haven't heard an innocent reason why Iran insists on threshold enrichment levels. Threshold meaning right up to the point where you can make a nuclear weapon. And there's no reason to be there at that level of enrichment. There's not a civilian use for it. The only use for it is if you want to be poised to very quickly make a nuclear weapon. Now that's as far as I know. There may be some expert who says, "But Scott, you idiot. Don't you know that getting to 60% enrichment is just useful for this or that?" Well I don't know. I haven't heard that. I've not heard that argument.
Now the other thing you need to know is that getting from 60% to 90%, which is where you need to be for a bomb, I understand, is not a question of getting from 60 to 90. Apparently the enrichment process has a logarithmic kind of quality to it. So that 60 is right next to 90. So if you can get to 60, then getting to 90 might take three weeks. That's my understanding, but I could be wrong about that, but I think that's right.
So has anybody heard Iran give any kind of public explanation of why they would need to increase their enrichment to the point where there's only one reason that I know of, which is to be ready to make a nuclear weapon? Now you add that to the fact that they've been funding proxies to try to destroy Israel for a long time, and they've done a number of terrorist acts against Americans in the area over the years. And then on top of that, they have this chant about death to Israel and death to America.
Now I would agree that if the only problem was their chanting, I would not be so worried. But if you combine death to America, death to Israel with building an enrichment capacity which only has one purpose, and a history of funding proxies to attack Israel, that looks pretty aggressive to me. That looks like more than a chant.
So I went online and said a few things about the Israel situation and what I found was tha

t if you say anything that people disagree with on this topic, you will be called anti-Semitic. So I got called anti-Semitic for I think just asking some question online and somebody said, "Whoa, why would you do that? Why would you even question that unless you're anti-Semitic?" To which I say, oh you. Just you. I'm not anti-Semitic. If I have questions about why we're doing what we're doing and…
