00:00:00
big Tech leaders are taking to social media of course to congratulate Donald Trump this is this is typical let's just
00:00:05
start off with that Mark Zuckerberg Tim Cook Sai Nela sunar Pai and Sam mman wished Trump well I thought they were
00:00:12
pretty anodin so did um Mark Cuban he was like godspeed You know what I mean he was like you won fair and square
00:00:18
which I thought was fair I thought that was classy of him to do so he didn't like slavishly say something the person
00:00:24
who did Jeff Bezos was quite different from the others um he was on the first to kiss the ring calling Trump's win an
00:00:31
extraordinary political comeback and decisive Victory it it had it did not have a tone of someone who owns the
00:00:37
Washington Post he's the only one who actually has another thing he's got to think about which he didn't at all in
00:00:44
any way so I thought that was problematic and it was much more effusive than the others um you know
00:00:49
they all want to work with this Administration they've done it before um they don't want to be in his crosshairs
00:00:54
and they'd like to get rid of uh all the different investigations and and things
00:00:58
like that although a lot of Republicans like these investigations very much and so that's a really interesting uh push
00:01:05
back um talk a little bit about these uh CEOs obviously you more than more than anyone Tech CEOs weit in they're smart
00:01:12
to do it Cara he responds to this type of obsequious flattery and if they're they're they're focused on their
00:01:19
shareholders they're smart to do it and it's it you kind of have to you throw up
00:01:24
a little bit in your mouth when when it's more than anything just than just a polite congratulations but if you
00:01:29
reverse engineered to shareholder value they're smart to do it just a lot of foreign leaders pretend that he's really
00:01:35
interesting and and that they're fascinated with him and he's going to get more he's going to get
00:01:41
more you know when when you're courting someone and they tell you that they're really into jewelry or baseball trading
00:01:48
cards and that they will like you if you buy them these things you buy them these
00:01:53
things and he's made it clear that if you say nice things about him it works and um so I think they're smart to do it
00:02:01
yeah I agree but I thought Bezos was a little bit abusive compare if you could put them next to each other it's really
00:02:06
quite a different tone and he does also own the Washington Post he might have been a little less it's around it's all
00:02:12
about money The Washington Post is nothing but I understand for right now he shouldn't own it then he shouldn't
00:02:18
own it then stop owning something where you have to we're talking about should versus is he Jeff Bezos is all about
00:02:24
money he already he already did that already with the dumping the uh endorsement so I just felt like he
00:02:31
should have maybe been a little less kiss assy anything about the Peter teal factor I think he's the quiet one here
00:02:36
mus gets all the we're going to talk about Elon in a second but I think Peter teal is the one the real Mastermind here
00:02:42
in so many ways um and I know people I thought he clocked Trump early um and was in there the last election I think
00:02:51
he clocked Vance um I think he's been quiet he doesn't need all the attention the way uh musk does I think he's far
00:02:58
smarter than Elon Musk in many ways um and I think he's all roads lead to Peter teal in this regard even though it
00:03:06
seemed like he was out of the election right but I don't I feel like is every one of his tenants is here is present
00:03:13
here you you first highlighted this to me and it struck me as something I hadn't I just hadn't thought about it
00:03:19
not at least it I hadn't connected the dots the way you had and I've thought about it more and more and I think what
00:03:23
you're saying makes sense because I mean here's the scary thing with Trump's age
00:03:28
and body mass index there's about a one in three chance he leaves the White House feed first you know in four years
00:03:35
and 2 months an obese what is he 78y old man it would be very hard to get life insurance and that puts a guy in the
00:03:43
White House who will never utter one word to Peter teal and that word is no he owes everything to Peter teal he
00:03:51
that's how he got to be a senator that's how he got the VP spot and so if Peter Teal calls him and says I need you to do
00:03:58
away with this tax or put a tariff here or deregulate this or create a floating island where billionaires don't have to
00:04:05
pay tax or we totally ban the following activities or so Vance Vance if he can will do it I I
00:04:16
just don't think Vance could ever say no to Peter he is where he is he is one heartbeat from the presidency because
00:04:23
not because of an impressive business career not because he's a great politician because of Peter teal yep yep
00:04:30
that's the one to watch and even though Elon as usual the circus clown likes to take all the attention as Bloomberg put
00:04:36
Elon is about to find out what $130 million for Trump gets him we mentioned the Tesla stock surge that's added 26
00:04:43
billion to his net worth but Elon stands to benefit in a number of other ways including government efficiency
00:04:48
commission role EV and autonomous driving policies that benefit Tesla and more government contracts for SpaceX uh
00:04:55
Tom has previously pledged his support for elon's goal of sending a rocket to Mars um that one I don't mind so much I
00:05:01
honestly don't and as I mentioned I think Elon merges x with true social so I also think they're going to have a
00:05:07
falling out I really feel like this is coming if I had to make any one prediction that's what I feel like Peter
00:05:14
is very quiet in the background and gets exactly what he wants Elon can't help himself and neither can Trump and
00:05:20
Trump's the president so thoughts well look this arguably you could say that Musk $119
00:05:31
million in donations to Trump were one of the best investments that's ever been made he made it over approximately 3 or
00:05:37
6 months and in exchange his net worth has gone up $15 billion just from his Tesla shares which skyrocketed on on
00:05:45
news that Trump was retaking the White House so if if someone said to any billionaire or any institution or any
00:05:51
hedge fund uh here's 9 million if you give us $119 million we think if the markets are right there's a two 23
00:06:00
chance you're going to get 15 billion back yep so you got to give it to the guy the whole best best investment of
00:06:08
the year was must dollar uh uh his his $19 million investment in the Trump campaign yeah because he was NE if she
00:06:16
had won he was never going to get that dinged for it also no so yeah that's exactly right 15 billion on 119 million
00:06:23
that's the best trade of 2024 yeah so what what's going to happen next now well so I need to disclose we talked
00:06:31
about this I was planning you know under see above got it wrong I thought poly Market the gambling site which had it
00:06:39
was 4060 own by Peter teal or was invested in by Peter teal I didn't know that so 4060 Harris to Trump's
00:06:46
likelihood of being elected so you were going to get two and a half to one I saw
00:06:49
that as asymmetric upside because I thought it was a coin flip according to the polls that I saw so I was I was
00:06:55
going to take $400,000 and put it on Harris thinking I could get a million back and I want to
00:07:01
be clear for people listening this is not investing this is gambling and I can afford to lose that and it would ruin
00:07:06
maybe an afternoon but it wouldn't have any impact on my life and I don't want to in any way tell people that they
00:07:11
should be doing this so but I was planning to do it so I went to the site signed up for it wait till Harris went
00:07:17
down to 38 then up to 42 and the site said you can't be a US citizen and then it said you can transfer money in from
00:07:25
the UK so I could not figure out how to get one of these betting sites up so I went to a different different strategy I
00:07:30
decided to I sold I did a a call a caller call strategy on Donald Trump media and that is I thought if this
00:07:40
stock if he loses the stock goes below 10 if he wins it could Skyrocket but I also thought if he wins this is no
00:07:49
longer a prediction vessel it's just a shitty company and I actually thought there's a chance it might go down even
00:07:54
if he win so MH I sold calls at 20 bucks a share way way into the money thinking this
00:08:03
thing could crash there's a good likelihood it could crash but I was worried well what if something [ __ ]
00:08:07
crazy happens and it goes to 400 and I owe someone $8 million who I sold these calls to so I bought calls way out of
00:08:16
the money at 60 I got $20 in premium for buying or selling calls at 20 I got six
00:08:22
bucks I cost me six bucks to buy calls at 60 so my downside was limited to like two and a half million bucks my upside
00:08:29
capped at 1 and a. half million and what's happened is he won the stock spiked I'm like oh [ __ ] bad day for
00:08:35
Scott but since then the strategy around it's no longer a tracking stock it's just a shitty company now it's come down
00:08:44
I think it opened it about 31 bucks today yeah it's going down so I got very lucky it's better to be lucky than good
00:08:50
I was going to make a straight wager on Harris and couldn't because I'm in the UK and I'm impatient with websites can't
00:08:55
use it yeah that's right yeah so this this kind of I think it's called called a call a collared call strategy so far
00:09:03
so far is working out because Donald Trump media I think people are waking up and going okay now what this is a shitty
00:09:08
little company yeah that's no longer no longer a prediction machine or gambling it's basically shares or ownership in a
00:09:17
company that has no revenues but is hemorrhaging money yeah interesting we'll wait and see for you but anyway
00:09:23
Peter teal uh has and along with the founder of uh ethereum raised money for poly market last earlier this year just
00:09:31
you know he's involved in that one too um it's interesting times but but musk and Trump falling out thought real quick
00:09:38
thought then we'll move on you know more about this than I do Cara what it's an interesting Theory why do you think
00:09:44
because you there was a movie with jeanclaude vanam where the future and the past person could never come
00:09:49
together was called time cop I recommend it to everybody and you couldn't ever be
00:09:54
in the same room with your future self and your present self or your past self whatever cuz would blow up the world
00:10:00
can't take that in the same place and at the very end the the villain gets into a
00:10:06
he gets them to get in a room together and then everything breaks loose and they blow up essentially I don't quite
00:10:11
understand it whatever I think these people can't coexist together in the same room for much for too long that's
00:10:17
my that's my sense maybe I'll be completely wrong but I feel like that Trump likes the attention and Elon likes
00:10:25
the attention and there's only so much attention to go around and if the Remember When Bannon got kicked out when
00:10:30
he got all the attention as being the puppet master of trump and then Bannon got and now he didn't get totally kicked
00:10:35
to the curb he kept getting brought back but kicked to the curb and brought back
00:10:39
he kicked Bannon to the curb very early we forget this uh in the Trump administration because he sucked up all
00:10:45
the oxygen so Elon might be very smart to not suck up all the oxygen
