We're having a good day here over at
00:00:01
Pivot. Oh my god. Oh my god. Let's
00:00:04
Jesus. Trump Elon Bromance is officially
00:00:06
over. What do you think's happened here?
00:00:08
I was looking for some sort of insight
00:00:09
here other than these are just two
00:00:11
toddlers. I went to Okay, who does the
00:00:14
market think is going to win? Yeah, I'd
00:00:16
love to know. Well, Donald Trump media
00:00:17
closed down 8%. Tesla stock is down by
00:00:20
14%. Tesla's lost $150 billion in value
00:00:23
today. $150 billion in destruction in
00:00:26
value. I mean, essentially what Musk is
00:00:29
doing is what every CEO is afraid to do.
00:00:31
Every CEO in America has been afraid to
00:00:33
show their true feelings and it for if
00:00:35
they would sure hold the value. Musk
00:00:37
doesn't care. But it really is arguably
00:00:39
the two most powerful men in the world
00:00:41
squaring off in the high school
00:00:43
cafeteria. Look, Donald Trump is going
00:00:45
to prevail cuz he's the president. But I
00:00:46
think it's finished for him. I think
00:00:48
it's finished cuz Elon is willing to go
00:00:51
Yeah. nuclear. what you just said,
00:00:53
interestingly enough, that that CEOs all
00:00:55
want to say this to Trump, right? They
00:00:58
want to stop being pushed around. If
00:01:00
he's doing it, it will give permission
00:01:01
to everybody else to start pushing back
00:01:04
on Trump. We're in the middle of a
00:01:05
wrestling match with one of those idiot
00:01:07
narratives that they have there. They're
00:01:09
throwing blows. They're causing
00:01:10
entertainment. But in this case, I Elon
00:01:13
can truly do a lot of damage to this
00:01:15
man.
