Meek Mill is feeling vindicated after a White House official claimed the United States has technology that can "manipulate time and space."

Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, was delivering a policy address at the Endless Frontiers Retreat earlier this week when he made the claim.

"We seem to have lost focus and vision, to have lowered our sights and let systems and structures and bureaucracies muddle us along," Kratsios said. "But we are capable of so much more."

"Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space," he continued. "They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity."

"After 2020 shit was feeling wocky ... I knew it lol,” Meek responded to a post on X of the claim.

Newsweek and IFLScience seem to be aligned in thinking that Kratsios was speaking metaphorically, highlighting the country's technological advancements as a motivating factor for what can be accomplished in the foreseeable future.

Still, it does not take much to encourage the conspiracy theorists, especially when someone closely associated with the U.S. government explicitly states that "our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space" without additional context.

The White House has not issued a clarification, as of this writing.

In another tweet, Meek pondering about "blogs on false stories"and people aiming at his "street image." "It's people in America literally doing blogs on false stories trying to get people with a lot of engagement to interact to get impressions ... 80% bots and most of it is defamation of character .. if you notice they aiming at my 'street image' lol," he wrote.

Last month, the Philly-born rapper shed light on his childhood, sharing a dark moment that forced him to "wake up" to his "reality" at the time. Meek recalled seeing a man throw a kitten to pit bulls as a child: "Had to wake up to my reality," he said of the harsh memory back in March.
