World's Fastest Supercomputer Goes Online in US

The world's fastest supercomputer 'El Capitan' goes online — it will be used to secure the US nuclear stockpile and in other classified research. 'El Capitan' can reach a peak performance of 2.746 exaFLOPS, making it the planet's third exascale computer.

Charles Forbin (actor Eric Braeden) walks through the interior of Colossus.
At the end of the novel, super AI computer Colossus announces to Dr. Forbin, “In time you will come to regard me with not only awe and respect, but love.”
How soon will it be before Felon Musk gets his hands on "El Capitan" thru DOGE to make his megalomaniacal dreams come true?

Nearly three TRILLION megaflops -- or three BILLION gigaflops -- that's a little over $0.20/gigaflop. 
In the Colossus novel, Dr. Forbin's super AI computer detects the presence of a Soviet counterpart called "Guardian" which Colossus demands a telecom connection with. Analogously, we have two super AI computers in the US and China has the Tianhe-3 ('Xingyi'):
Tianhe-3 or "Xingyi" was unveiled in January 2023 with a rumored performance of 2.05 exaflops peak and 1.57 exaflops sustained on High-Performance LINPACK.
When you see the size of these gigantic machines, the need for rare earths to produce or replace parts becomes critical.

If trillionaire Felon Musk gave every American one million dollars to end poverty once and for all in the US, he'd still be a trillionaire.
The same goes for these oligarchs.
Felon Musk chose the Volunteer State for his super datacenter was to take advantage of the FDR-established Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) power grid.
TVA head-shed.
Musk chose Texas as a location for one of his facilities AFTER the Democrats funded the Lone Star State with a $35 billion infrastructure grant. His argument about leaving California because of an LGBTQ law and his daughter was palavra.
Trumpf recognizes a successful grifter when he sees one. No one in the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) lost a penny to goniff Bernie Madoff unlike other NYC oligarchs.
