Elon Musk says he plans to significantly reduce his political spending moving forward, saying in an interview with
00:00:05
Bloomberg at the Cutter Economic Forum, "I think I've done enough." I think we all think that things got a little testy
00:00:11
in that same interview when he was asked about Doge saving less than originally promised. The whole thing was faking
00:00:16
testy. What a little baby. What a little wussy baby he is. Okay, let's listen. What happened to the two trillion? Well,
00:00:21
do you expect it to happen immediately? Well, is it going to happen? Because Doz
00:00:25
is supposed to run till next July. What do you I mean your question is absurd in
00:00:29
in this fundamental premise. Um are you assuming that that on day you know within a few months there's an instant
00:00:35
two trillion saved? No I'm not at all. I'm just asking is that still your aim then? Is that your aim to get the amount
00:00:42
of time? Have we not made good progress given the amount of time? This is such horseshit. He closed down a ton of
00:00:48
stuff. He didn't do well. Just like the cybert truck. This was a flop so far. He
00:00:52
had plenty of power and he had the president of the United States behind him. So he was running rampant. Ran over
00:00:57
Congress, ran over cabinet members, did stupid things, made idiotic mistakes. He's not getting to two trillion and
00:01:03
this was a failure. Well, just some data. This has backfired. It was initially the best investment anyone had
00:01:09
made for a quarter of a billion dollars and sort of the promotion of Tesla and the belief of the markets that this
00:01:15
would pay off because we had gone to a kleptocracy. It's now the rivers have reversed and the tide has turned
00:01:21
entirely against them. This has arguably been one of the greatest brand destructions. Tesla has fallen from the
00:01:27
eighth most reputable brand in 2021. I mean, that's in the company of, you know, Amazon and Coke and Apple. Well,
00:01:35
it's fallen from eighth to 95th. He's alienated his core demographic. And then, let's just be clear about Doge.
00:01:41
It's not saving the US money. I think there's this transnational oligarchy class that's emerging where people get
00:01:47
so rich they can afford their own security, their own rights, their only their own family planning, their own
00:01:52
schools, and as a result they have less of a vested interest in the well-being and democracy of their native country.
