I don't know him and haven't heard much about him, but from the looks of it the CTO of the United States (yes, the CTO of the United States) is a shill for Palantir/Thiel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Kratsios https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Kratsios). As far as I can tell he is not GitHub nor HackerNews, nor does he know how to code, which I think would make someone quite unqualified for that position. Again though, maybe he's a nice person. Just to me from the outside looks like a Palantir puppet.
