Makes one wish that various intelligence agencies were a fifth as competent as they're portrayed.

... at least for a few moments.

They aren't? Wait did the cia not actually find psychics?

They are competent, but they work for billionaire interests and musk is a billionaire. One can dream though

They're a mixed bag, but nowhere near as competent as people think they are. The CIA spent 50 years trying to assassinate Castro, until a natural fucking death got him. And we've got the best intelligence agency in the world. That's the best we've got to offer. 50 years to kill a single man, and we still failed.

Fact of the matter is intelligence work is tricky to begin with, and trying to leverage intelligence into action is harder by an order of magnitude.
