The second part of the article states that the stealer logs he's shown up in only come from computers infected with malware. And it's possible, even more likely than not, that he used this personal computer for government work.

Reminds me of a quote from the game Alpha Centauri: I think, and my thoughts cross the barrier into the synapses of the machine, just as the good doctor intended. But what I cannot shake, and what hints at things to come, is that thoughts cross back. In my dreams, the sensibility of the machine invades the periphery of my consciousness: dark, rigid, cold, alien. Evolution is at work here, but just what is evolving remains to be seen.

A thing would need to officially be a flop to be considered squandered like the Cybertruck is looking like. They might have a few failures ahead of them yet though, but you can't call a mid flight project squandered. Edit: e.g part of that loss could be attributed to them finalizing and now starting production at the megapack factory at Shanghai. Short of Elon backlash stopping sales of their commercial batteries, that won't be squandered and will make a billion or two or three in profits this year.
