“No I’m not ‘assuming.’ I didn’t declare it but stated it as an intuition.”
You most certainly are assuming; and you most certainly DID declare it. Your “intuition” is, by definition, a feeling rather than conscious reasoning.
“If you were betting money on which nation the ‘government officials’ who approached Elon were employed by, who would you put your money on... I’m putting my money on the Yanks and if you were honest you would too.”
So, you have admitted you are just guessing; you are admitting that you don’t know the facts.
Not very clear on the difference between ‘thinking’ and ‘knowing’ are you?
