Meet Louis Anthony β€œTony” Cox. He lives in Denver, Colorado.

He works for chemical corporations such as DuPont, Dow, Bayer and Chevron. He is paid to criticize scientists and cast doubts about pollutants.

Previous to working for DuPont, Dow, and Bayer, Tony Cox worked for Philip Morris

Of course, Tony denies that. Tony claims it's just a coincidence that he only happens to defend the corporations paying him πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

Recently, Tony Cox sent an email to his corporate clients. He came up with a new idea. Using Artificial Intelligence.
