00:00:00
The girls are fighting again. Elon Musk
00:00:03
is back to insulting the big beautiful
00:00:05
bill. Musk posted on X calling the bill
00:00:08
utterly insane and destructive, saying
00:00:10
it will destroy millions of jobs. He's
00:00:12
also posted a screenshot of polling
00:00:14
saying the bill is political suicide for
00:00:16
the Republican party. I think Trump's
00:00:19
going to probably ignore him. I did
00:00:21
predict that Musk would turn again. I
00:00:23
just want to say I know this man well,
00:00:25
even though I haven't talked to him in a
00:00:27
while, but he's correct. You may not
00:00:29
like him. You may think he sucks. I'm in
00:00:31
that camp. But uh he's right about this.
00:00:33
This is sacrificing uh the future for
00:00:36
the past. It's giving money to
00:00:37
billionaires like Musk. The fact that
00:00:39
he's speaking out says a lot actually.
00:00:41
It favors previous industries versus
00:00:44
newer ones. It uh mortgages our future
00:00:47
on uh on giving a tax break for the very
00:00:49
wealthy. It gives a lot of money to ICE
00:00:51
and other organizations that are just
00:00:54
about smallness, not about the bigness
00:00:56
of America. I don't know if any
00:00:58
Republicans will listen. You've come so
00:00:59
far from the party of Ronald Reagan to
00:01:02
this travesty and it's an embarrassment
00:01:05
and you will pay uh at the polls. You
00:01:07
will pay in the future and history will
00:01:10
find you wanting. I don't often agree
00:01:12
with Elon Musk but here we are folks.
