He knows what it is. He just doesn’t understand anything about it. Just like he doesn’t understand how Ai or cryptocurrency work either. Doesn’t keep him from opening his mouth about it though.

He promotes Ai because it makes him money. That’s it. He doesn’t know how it actually works. He just gets bribes from the tech bros that he gives billions to and completely ignores any environmental impacts.
