    For everyone that doesn’t bother to read beyond the headline… It’s marketing. Trying to appeal to Gen Z by sponsoring celebrities/influencers they like.

      Of course it’s marketing. They wouldn’t pay Kelly Clarkson to invent a new weapons system. The important thing is to know who it is that is collaborating.

        No, Kelly Clarkson develops sonic weapons. Mr. Beast does torture and Guy Fieri mustard gas.
