Her husband raise 100M for a hedgefund and lost all of it with poor investments. Chelsea is a part of the establishment and needed a welfare check.

Found the Q&A of SECDEFs Q&A from Friday. Also posting the transcripts below.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Town Hall at the Pentagon
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Town Hall at the Pentagon
Good find!
I did appreciate the irony of his speech stating "he would be open and transparent with the force" and then killing the broadcast when questions started.

By the letter of the law, all of these are absolutely correct. By the spirit of the law, it's more ambiguous. Not talking about Chelsea but rather the Clinton foundation. It's pretty well established that usaid gave money to organizations which then turned around and gave it to the Clinton foundation, noted when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
Whether aid was directly tied to Chelsea to me is largely immaterial in that the Clinton foundation plays dirty pool.

Clinton Foundation ran the Clinton Global Inititiative which was just money laundering to foreign governments...
Rumors on the interwebs are that Elon Musk has purchased $40 Million Dollars worth of Superbowl Ad time to expose what DOGE has uncovered so far. Now this actually interests me. I hope it is true. I may have to tune in after all.

Interesting thread. But like, what are you doing for three years with no teaching? But also, if you already have that big of a brain why wouldn't you go be a quant? Actually with numbers like that perhaps work at NASA? Or Amazon? Space X? If he was only looking to be a teacher in math then like do that. There are other orgs that give out grants if you wanted to do something on race, but why doesn't his university where he's a fellow want to maintain his fellowship?
Reporters aren’t “the force.”
It was a Pentagon townhall being broadcast live, though I'm not sure by who. We had it on in the office. I imagine other offices did as well.
That's the force.
Transcript of the whole event.
I do like his answers regarding long-term military planning and better family support.
...and the force was able to hear directly from the SecDef.
Just out of curiosity, how many times did you listen to a live Pentagon town hall from the last SecDef?
I've looked up the Q/A after the fact a number of times, but that's because I prefer that to live broadcasts.
I wasn't the person who turned it on in the office. One of our T5 staff is very excited for Hesgeth and wanted to listen to it.
According to his IG he is a "math phd by day, masked vigilante by night". Seems to be a professional student currently at Princeton.
Roger. I think it's smart to listen in, hear it straight instead of having it filtered and framed by the press, most of whom want to portray anyone associated with a Republican administration in the worst possible light.
I don't recall Sec Austin doing any live town halls, but it's entirely possible that I simple missed them.
To be fair, he probably held them without telling anyone.
It's hard to communicate your war fighting strategy and prove your lethality when you show up in a face mask protected by a face shield.

Trying to be Darth Vader I guess..... 
Scholarships will often give extra points to applicants from states or areas that aren’t usually represented at their program. Like, you expect a ton of applicants to come from California, New York, and Texas not only because of their large population base but because of the large amount of academic resources available. But when you see a kickass candidate from West Virginia, which doesn't invest as many dollars per capita into education, the belief is that those candidates have to work much harder to achieve the same level of success than students from wealthier states. And that’s a proxy for the level of passion and dedication the student has for the subject.
I’ve been on the selection panel for a scholarship for several years and you see this pretty often. All the candidates have excellent scores and generally write good statements of purpose. But the ones who manage to do that without a bunch of built-in advantages will benefit the most from the scholarship.
