Elon Musk says he plans to significantly
00:00:02
reduce his political spending moving
00:00:03
forward, saying in an interview with
00:00:05
Bloomberg at the Cutter Economic Forum,
00:00:07
"I think I've done enough." I think we
00:00:09
all think that things got a little testy
00:00:11
in that same interview when he was asked
00:00:12
about Doge saving less than originally
00:00:14
promised. The whole thing was faking
00:00:16
testy. What a little baby. What a little
00:00:17
wussy baby he is. Okay, let's listen.
00:00:20
What happened to the two trillion? Well,
00:00:21
do you expect it to happen immediately?
00:00:23
Well, is it going to happen? Because Doz
00:00:25
is supposed to run till next July. What
00:00:27
do you I mean your question is absurd in
00:00:29
in this fundamental premise. Um are you
00:00:31
assuming that that on day you know
00:00:34
within a few months there's an instant
00:00:35
two trillion saved? No I'm not at all.
00:00:37
I'm just asking is that still your aim
00:00:39
then? Is that your aim to get the amount
00:00:42
of time? Have we not made good progress
00:00:44
given the amount of time? This is such
00:00:46
horseshit. He closed down a ton of
00:00:48
stuff. He didn't do well. Just like the
00:00:49
cybert truck. This was a flop so far. He
00:00:52
had plenty of power and he had the
00:00:54
president of the United States behind
00:00:55
him. So he was running rampant. Ran over
00:00:57
Congress, ran over cabinet members, did
00:01:00
stupid things, made idiotic mistakes.
00:01:02
He's not getting to two trillion and
00:01:03
this was a failure. Well, just some
00:01:05
data. This has backfired. It was
00:01:08
initially the best investment anyone had
00:01:09
made for a quarter of a billion dollars
00:01:11
and sort of the promotion of Tesla and
00:01:14
the belief of the markets that this
00:01:15
would pay off because we had gone to a
00:01:17
kleptocracy. It's now the rivers have
00:01:19
reversed and the tide has turned
00:01:21
entirely against them. This has arguably
00:01:23
been one of the greatest brand
00:01:25
destructions. Tesla has fallen from the
00:01:27
eighth most reputable brand in 2021. I
00:01:30
mean, that's in the company of, you
00:01:32
know, Amazon and Coke and Apple. Well,
00:01:35
it's fallen from eighth to 95th. He's
00:01:38
alienated his core demographic. And
00:01:40
then, let's just be clear about Doge.
00:01:41
It's not saving the US money. I think
00:01:44
there's this transnational oligarchy
00:01:46
class that's emerging where people get
00:01:47
so rich they can afford their own
00:01:48
security, their own rights, their only
00:01:50
their own family planning, their own
00:01:52
schools, and as a result they have less
00:01:53
of a vested interest in the well-being
00:01:55
and democracy of their native country.
