The question was asked by a pool reporter from The Canadian Press (that's not a generic description, it's the name of a private news organization).

He said he was excited he had had a chance to learn more about quantum computing that morning while touring a quantum computing research institute to announce $50 million in funding for quantum computing.
How dare he display a modicum of intellectual curiosity and learn enough about the topic to explain it to a fellow layman along the way /s
This is a rather silly conspiracy theory.
- daveFNbuck 11y agoThe problem is that he didn't learn enough to explain it to a fellow layman. He gave the impression that quantum computing is about storing more complicated bits so you can make a smaller computer.
- empath75 11y agoI don't think most working physicists could explain it properly to a layman.
