Why not both?
They campaign for traditional values and opposes same-sex marriage, immigrants, and political elites, yet their leader Alice Weidel is a former investment banker who lives in Switzerland and is in a relationship with a woman. How is that not a scam?
> Acer CEO says memory makers are hyping 2030 shortage fears to protect margins โ€” PC prices set to decline by late 2027, cheaper Chinese capacity coming online delivers lower memory prices
AI companies lose a lot of money training models but have much better margins on inference. They try to ban training to reduce their costs and to keep their monopoly. (Personal opinion)

Well, he did predict the Datageddon
Yes, it's next to the 90 deals in 90 days, lower prices and no new wars.
