Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Not been boring. That's for sure an eventful year, to
- 0:03Speaker 1: say the least. At least I didn't get shot, you know,
- 0:07Speaker 1: look at the brand side, but we have had people
- 0:10Speaker 1: shoot up Tells, the stores and burn down till the cars.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that level of violence, really. I mean,
- 0:17Speaker 1: there's obviously been attempts to sort of boycott Tells them,
- 0:20Speaker 1: my other companies and basically put whatever pressure they possibly
- 0:24Speaker 1: can on me and and Tesla and to some degree
- 0:29Speaker 1: with my other companies. And I guess that's that's what
- 0:31Speaker 1: happens when you go after waste and fraud, because the
- 0:34Speaker 1: people that are receiving the billions of dollars waste and
- 0:37Speaker 1: fraud want to keep receiving it. The people doing the
- 0:41Speaker 1: bad things want to keep getting the money. And you're
- 0:46Speaker 1: necessarily dealing with an unsavory group, that is, since they're
- 0:52Speaker 1: doing illegal things already and we're stopping them from doing
- 0:55Speaker 1: legal things, obviously they're they're going to do bad things
- 0:58Speaker 1: to me and to my companies somewhat inevitable.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I think, do you regret doing what you've been doing.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Do you regret coming out and supporting President No?
- 1:14Speaker 1: I think it was essential for the President Trump to
- 1:17Speaker 1: win to ensure that America remained great and that we
- 1:24Speaker 1: reached greater heights. Really, some very basic things need to happen.
- 1:30Speaker 1: We need to have obviously a secure border, We need
- 1:32Speaker 1: to have safe cities, We need to have sensible spending.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I think if President Trump had not won, I think
- 1:42Speaker 1: the Democrat campaign to import vast numbers of illegal voters
- 1:46Speaker 1: would have succeeded, and they would have naturalized vast numbers
- 1:50Speaker 1: of illegals during the sort of comm regime, and they
- 1:56Speaker 1: would have turned America into a one party state from
- 1:58Speaker 1: which we could never escape. Some people out there may
- 2:01Speaker 1: be somewhat skeptical that may think, well that there isn't
- 2:04Speaker 1: some Democrat plan to subvert democracy and achieve a permanent
- 2:09Speaker 1: one party deep blue socialist state. I as show you
- 2:13Speaker 1: if the more you research it, the more you will
- 2:16Speaker 1: see it is true. Biden was simply asleep at the switch.
- 2:20Speaker 1: He was ineffective regarding illegal immigration. No, he was highly
- 2:25Speaker 1: effective at ushering in millions of illegal immigrants with a
- 2:31Speaker 1: specific game plan to naturalize them and ensure that there
- 2:37Speaker 1: were no There would be no swing states in America anymore.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Often the margin of victory there will be twenty or
- 2:42Speaker 1: thirty thousand votes. So if you bring in two hundred
- 2:45Speaker 1: thousand illegals which will overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats, then
- 2:49Speaker 1: that that swing state becomes permanently blue. Then you have
- 2:54Speaker 1: the House, the Senate, the presidency.
- 2:56Speaker 2: When did Elon Musk finally say, you know what, I
- 2:59Speaker 2: feel like something is really grossly wrong with what's going
- 3:02Speaker 2: on in this country.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Well, I started having concerns about three years ago, but
- 3:07Speaker 1: they were sort of I just had like an uneasy
- 3:12Speaker 1: feeling like something doesn't feel right here. The censorship was
- 3:20Speaker 1: becoming ridiculous, like I could like I had. I had
- 3:24Speaker 1: the most interacted with account on Twitter before the acquisition,
- 3:29Speaker 1: so I was very finally attuned to what the algorithm
- 3:32Speaker 1: was showing me or not showing me, and who got
- 3:35Speaker 1: suspended or didn't get suspended. Twitter was being run at
- 3:38Speaker 1: a very far left basis. When I felt the censorship
- 3:42Speaker 1: was closing it, I was like, Okay, I got to
- 3:43Speaker 1: do something. And the thing I could do is acquire
- 3:45Speaker 1: Twitter and make it a bastion of free speech. And
- 3:49Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to do with with Twitter. Like
- 3:52Speaker 1: no one on the left has been suspended, but we
- 3:54Speaker 1: did unsuspend people on the right, and you know, let's
- 3:57Speaker 1: let the marketplace of ideas. And then once we unlocked
- 4:04Speaker 1: Twitter from being censored, then then we start to see
- 4:07Speaker 1: what was really gone on. And I became increasingly concerned.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a second, I'm seeing videos of people
- 4:17Speaker 1: streaming across the border on Twitter now X I'm like,
- 4:23Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this is this real? So
- 4:27Speaker 1: I said, well, you know, I'll go to the border myself.
- 4:29Speaker 1: So I went to Eagle Pass, Texas, and sure enough,
- 4:33Speaker 1: people streaming across the border. And I was like, so,
- 4:36Speaker 1: is there any vetting of these people? Like, no, the
- 4:39Speaker 1: Biden administration is letting them all in. And I said, well,
- 4:43Speaker 1: but some of these people clearly have criminal affiliations, like
- 4:47Speaker 1: they literally have the criminal affiliation tattooed on their face.
- 4:50Speaker 1: That the left is kind to the criminals and cruel
- 4:54Speaker 1: to the victims, which is no form which is not empty.
- 4:58Speaker 1: At the end of the day, if you're high TRUSTe
- 5:00Speaker 1: and you bring in low trust or untrustworthy individuals, that's
- 5:06Speaker 1: now you've got a fundamental breakdown in the system. Recipe
- 5:09Speaker 1: for disaster a rest beefore disaster.
- 5:11Speaker 2: So it sounds like for you, you went through these
- 5:14Speaker 2: moments of actually seeing things firsthand for yourself. So you
- 5:18Speaker 2: had these moments leading up to really coming out on
- 5:22Speaker 2: the stage October in Butler, Pennsylvania with President Trump.
- 5:26Speaker 1: You just can't have a country like this. I supported Obama,
- 5:30Speaker 1: gave the maximum donation to Obama, actually had a pretty
- 5:32Speaker 1: good relationship. When when Biden was elected out, I guess
- 5:37Speaker 1: most moderates that I knew, they thought it would be
- 5:43Speaker 1: like a milk toast mosion of Obama. And then it's like,
- 5:45Speaker 1: I think we get the most radical left crazy administration
- 5:50Speaker 1: ever with and and Biden is actually non confass mantis,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you know, president outopen. Basically, Biden was president atop who
- 6:00Speaker 1: haven't controlled that ortoped a teleprompt during the Bided administration
- 6:04Speaker 1: was the real president. If a reasonable person who's open
- 6:08Speaker 1: minded was exposed the same information that I was exposed to,
- 6:11Speaker 1: they would end up at the same place that I
- 6:13Speaker 1: ended up.
- 6:13Speaker 2: You grew up in South Africa, you lived during a
- 6:16Speaker 2: period of apartheid. I'm sure you've seen a lot of
- 6:19Speaker 2: horrific things. So to be called a Nazi by people,
- 6:22Speaker 2: to be made out to be this monster, that must
- 6:25Speaker 2: be really hard for you.
- 6:27Speaker 1: It's a relentless propaganda campaign, which obviously your President Trump
- 6:33Speaker 1: has experienced for a very long time twenty years maybe longer.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And politics is a blood sport, so they're gonna come
- 6:46Speaker 1: up with whatever attacks they can to destroy the public
- 6:51Speaker 1: perception of someone. Now, obviously I've not harmed anyone in
- 6:57Speaker 1: my life. They've also called President Trump a Nazi, but
- 7:00Speaker 1: he also is not a violent person and in fact
- 7:05Speaker 1: has done a lot to prevent wars and stop wars,
- 7:08Speaker 1: which is the very opposite of being a Nazi.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Actually ironic how that works out.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Yes, but it is disappointing how well propaganda works. If
- 7:19Speaker 1: you repeat Ali, you know, the sort of he's a
- 7:22Speaker 1: Nazi light enough times some people actually believe it, especially
- 7:26Speaker 1: people that still believe the Legacy News. But they really
- 7:29Speaker 1: are trying every angle to get me. They are doing
- 7:34Speaker 1: character assassination. That's by a thousand cuts. It shows that
- 7:37Speaker 1: we if what we were doing at DOGE was not effective,
- 7:41Speaker 1: they wouldn't care. But it is effective, and that's why
- 7:46Speaker 1: they're trying every angle to put pressure on me and
- 7:49Speaker 1: DOGE to stop fixing the government.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Talk about your relationship with President Trump. You came to DC,
- 7:58Speaker 2: people immediately said Elon Musk is in charge of things
- 8:02Speaker 2: here very clearly. President Trump is.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I do consider the president of friend. I think he
- 8:07Speaker 1: considers me a friend, and you know, we get along
- 8:09Speaker 1: very well. I think probably if you asked us both
- 8:13Speaker 1: the same set of questions in two different rooms, eighty
- 8:16Speaker 1: percent of the time we come up with the same answer.
- 8:20Speaker 1: And you know, we'll just not say that we always agree,
- 8:23Speaker 1: but we almost always agree. Getting where of waste for
- 8:28Speaker 1: in the government and ensuring the rule of ploye is followed.
- 8:32Speaker 1: We've seen just crazy things like the twenty million dead
- 8:35Speaker 1: people and the Social Security database marked is alive, many
- 8:40Speaker 1: of whom were receiving benefits. One person with three hundred
- 8:43Speaker 1: and sixty years old older than I think that would
- 8:45Speaker 1: be a bit of a red flag. You know, they're
- 8:48Speaker 1: older than America. And you know, we found we found
- 8:53Speaker 1: people receiving unemployment insurance with a birth birth date in
- 8:56Speaker 1: the future. We found at the Small Business Administration that
- 9:00Speaker 1: they're giving at loans to people as young as nine months.
- 9:04Speaker 1: So we're stopping things like that. I've actually found there's
- 9:08Speaker 1: a lot of people who are federal government employees. They're
- 9:10Speaker 1: active employees who nonetheless applied for and have received unemployment
- 9:14Speaker 1: insurance while they are federal employees. Yes. Wow, and this
- 9:18Speaker 1: appears to be at least one hundred thousand people. Wow.
- 9:21Speaker 2: We know that you're finding all of this, but you're
- 9:24Speaker 2: actually also simultaneously running several companies. What else are you
- 9:28Speaker 2: doing and how are you doing it? And where are
- 9:30Speaker 2: you doing it? Are you sleeping? Are you traveling all
- 9:33Speaker 2: the time?
- 9:35Speaker 1: This is a very difficult That's why I made that
- 9:37Speaker 1: sort of I'm wearing many hats joke. The cabinet was
- 9:39Speaker 1: given the Gulf of America hat, I believe it was,
- 9:44Speaker 1: so you see all the all the hats there. And
- 9:46Speaker 1: then I happened to have a doge hat like you
- 9:48Speaker 1: know what, I'll put a hat on a hat and
- 9:53Speaker 1: proved to people that I am wearing what we really are.
- 9:56Speaker 1: I am wearing more than one hat. Even my hat
- 9:58Speaker 1: has a hat. So it requires in ten effort for
- 10:01Speaker 1: except for about three months, which were kind of out
- 10:03Speaker 1: the three month point now and then I can taper
- 10:07Speaker 1: taper my time allocation but still get things done. So
- 10:11Speaker 1: and I've tooked this over with the president, so this
- 10:13Speaker 1: is no surprise or.
- 10:15Speaker 2: If anyone knows about multitasking and getting a lot done.
- 10:18Speaker 1: It's him, absolutely, He's very good at multitasking and getting
- 10:21Speaker 1: a lot done in many different arenas. I also still
- 10:23Speaker 1: have my little office and my cute little office in
- 10:25Speaker 1: the West wing by the way. It's like comically small.
- 10:27Speaker 1: People have taken photos of it and stuff, but I
- 10:30Speaker 1: wanted it to be tiny. And even this office I use,
- 10:35Speaker 1: but it's also used for meetings and stuff, so I
- 10:37Speaker 1: try not to, you know, use of a lot of space.
- 10:41Speaker 1: In fact, I usually don't even have an at my companies.
- 10:44Speaker 1: I don't even have an office. I just walk around,
- 10:46Speaker 1: talk to people and have meetings.
- 10:48Speaker 2: That's how you know what's going on.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Yes, that's how you know what's going on now.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Very famously, there was a story about you when you
- 10:54Speaker 2: first came to DC that you slept on a couch
- 10:56Speaker 2: in your office. This is where the richest man in
- 10:59Speaker 2: the world slept. Yeah, wow, that's amazing.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Why did you do that? Well, I didn't really have
- 11:05Speaker 1: a good place to stay at the time. How long
- 11:07Speaker 1: did you do that for off and on for a
- 11:12Speaker 1: few weeks? That's incredible. Yeah, I mean it's the worse
- 11:17Speaker 1: places to sleep
