- 1:51Speaker 2: As General Motors the new carking, I don't want to
- 1:55Speaker 2: get this hot take, but client for the time being. Man,
- 2:02Speaker 2: I would have shaved my hair hair off last year
- 2:04Speaker 2: if like we would have made it. Bet the GM
- 2:06Speaker 2: would be up hided in Tessa right now. And you
- 2:11Speaker 2: got in that office and doing the ike turner and
- 2:15Speaker 2: here we are, like kudos to GM. Like I mean,
- 2:20Speaker 2: I still don't love him as a stock. The all
- 2:23Speaker 2: time high was back in ninety nine, which is crazy,
- 2:27Speaker 2: but they have rebounded well from twenty seven. They're at
- 2:31Speaker 2: forty seven right now, which is amazing for them. I
- 2:35Speaker 2: never would have saw the day coming. This is kind
- 2:39Speaker 2: of like Tank Davis's opponent when he got caught with
- 2:41Speaker 2: their little left houck at the end. I would have
- 2:43Speaker 2: never seen him coming. But I think it goes to
- 2:46Speaker 2: show kudos and rest in pieces you that when you're
- 2:50Speaker 2: focused and if your enemy or opponent takes their eye
- 2:54Speaker 2: off the prize, you can take pole position and end
- 2:58Speaker 2: up winning. I think at a time when everyone was
- 3:00Speaker 2: super excited about EV, we don't hear too much about them.
- 3:06Speaker 2: The profit margin is isn't good. It's five point eight percent.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Gross margin is eleven percent, but market cap is pretty good.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Fifty four billion. Enterprise value is forty two. Analys have
- 3:16Speaker 2: it going to forty nine. Institutional ownership is eighty two percent.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Stable business, don't have to worry about the CEO being
- 3:26Speaker 2: all in the videos or doing drugs or battling with
- 3:30Speaker 2: Apple or advocating for dose coins. So it's been like
- 3:34Speaker 2: a flight to safety for their A quarter over quarter
- 3:37Speaker 2: revenue is up seven percent. Not a blockbuster business, but
- 3:41Speaker 2: right now in the EV space, they're doing a lot
- 3:43Speaker 2: better than Tesla is. For sure here in America.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Would Tesla be the old king. If this is the
- 3:50Speaker 1: new king, Yeah, I'm interested to see. This is a
- 3:55Speaker 1: real test. The boy got the fifty nine billion. What
- 3:58Speaker 1: are you gonna do now other things?
- 4:00Speaker 2: Are you really going to vote more time and energy there?
- 4:03Speaker 2: Or are you going to go to SpaceX starlink which
- 4:06Speaker 2: starlink is a mind serve company.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I don't know their thoughts.
- 4:12Speaker 3: I read on this.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, well why because when it and I
- 4:17Speaker 1: know we're switching tovis a little bit, but I mean
- 4:18Speaker 1: it's all in the automotive space. The initial thought was
- 4:21Speaker 1: no way of getting this, they didn't believe in it,
- 4:24Speaker 1: and then within a week it was, oh, no, this
- 4:26Speaker 1: is going to happen, and we fully support him, and
- 4:30Speaker 1: now we want him to focus and keep his focus
- 4:32Speaker 1: on the biggest source of his wealth quote not my quote.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Shareholders have always this isn't the first time they've done this,
- 4:39Speaker 3: So I don't know if they if people thought that
- 4:42Speaker 3: the shareholders wasn't going to vote because they historically they've
- 4:46Speaker 3: done this before, so.
- 4:48Speaker 2: The stock was up in their favor at the time too.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm just saying they've never not voted against
- 4:54Speaker 3: They've never voted against Elon never so it's right in
- 5:00Speaker 3: precedent of what has happened historically, and he won by
- 5:05Speaker 3: a majority I think of like eighty percent something like that.
- 5:07Speaker 3: So it wasn't it wasn't a close situation that the
- 5:10Speaker 3: board voted right. No, the shareholders the board, the board
- 5:14Speaker 3: voted to get the board doesn't want him to get it.
- 5:16Speaker 3: That's why I had to go to the shareholders. Once
- 5:18Speaker 3: he went to the shareholders that they voted for him
- 5:21Speaker 3: to actually get.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Well, the issue was when he had the last I
- 5:25Speaker 1: think uh conference. I think it was at the Texas site.
- 5:31Speaker 1: People were expressing their disappointment with the company, and so
- 5:35Speaker 1: again you had a bunch of people speaking out and
- 5:39Speaker 1: they wouldn't let him speak, and it became a thing.
- 5:41Speaker 1: So it kind of felt like the sentiment was turning
- 5:43Speaker 1: negative around him, but obviously not obviously not fifty.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of hard to tell somebody now
- 5:49Speaker 2: when they got satellites and know where you live in
- 5:52Speaker 2: rockets too. You want your job, hey man, Listen, if
- 5:58Speaker 2: Tony starts telling me man, I need to vote for
- 6:00Speaker 2: the fifty nine, you kind of got to give it
- 6:02Speaker 2: to him. So the true test is gonna come down
- 6:05Speaker 2: after he got the fifty nine to zero and then
- 6:09Speaker 2: I dropped the lawsuit with open AI.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Yeah he did, he did drop the lawsuit, Yes, yes,
- 6:14Speaker 1: he said. His quote was that he's a pathological he's
- 6:17Speaker 1: a pathological optimist and he only can.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Hold fifty nine billion.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Me too, right, he said.
- 6:24Speaker 1: I might mess it up along the way, but I
- 6:28Speaker 1: always get the job done in the end.
- 6:31Speaker 2: I would pay open AI for paying the suffering if
- 6:32Speaker 2: I got my fifty nine billion in testa, Sam, I'm sorry.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Let's end up every relationship right now. Go work on
- 6:39Speaker 2: starlink and be done. Go take over after in Australia
- 6:42Speaker 2: and Mars cool the dark side of the moon. Hey,
- 6:49Speaker 2: all right, y'all, have the a little car play that
- 6:51Speaker 2: global internet move that he's gonna make with starlink.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Way better.

- 7:21Speaker 4: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 7:26Speaker 4: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
