  Speaker 1: Elon Musk is for sure the most entertaining billionaire that's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: ever lived. Let's see this guy says that Elon Musk
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is not playing around in this interview. I was born
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in South Africa but cannot get a license to operate
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: in starlink because I'm not black? Does that seem right
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to you? So Elon Musk is asking this of a journalist.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Not otherwise. And so now I'm in the subsurd situation
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: where I was born in South Africa but can't get
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a license to operate in starlink because I'm not black.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Well, it looks it looks looks like that right, it
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: looks like that's about to change.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I just asked you a question, Please answer. Does that
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: seem right to you?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Those rules were designed to bring Those rules were designed
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to bring about an era of more economic equality in
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: South Africa, and it looks like the government has found
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: a way around those rules for you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Ask your question?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Is this is your interview? Everyone wants to hear from you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Here's your question, yes or no? Not for me?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Not for me to answer. I have got a question
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: for you about about your government works and the amount
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: of savings.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Why do you like raceless LANs.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: This is not for me to answer. Come on, now,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't be trying to dodge a question.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Question answer, no, you answer me, not otherwise.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And so what he's doing here, he's well aware of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the framing. He's trying to break her narrative. Right, And
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we've got another example here, Yes, and here Elon Musk
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just called the reporter an NPC. So yeah, he's kind
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of headed with journalists. He's not under any illusions about
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: what their purpose is.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Now, you've talked about four billion dollars a day being saved,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: but that that won't get which is an I think
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: everyone can agree that combating waste and inefficiency in government
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: is a very good thing. But if you add that up,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: it's not going to get to two trillion over the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: lifetime of Doge.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: The four billion, the four billion a day, if those
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: are going to run till next July, is not going
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to get you to two trillion dollars. But you still
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: say it's your aim, so we'll take that as read.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: There's there's, there's, there's what Doge I mean? I feel
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you're somewhat trapped in the NPC dialogue tree of a
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: traditional book journalist. So it's difficult when when I'm conversing
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: with someone who's trapped the dialogue of a conventional journalist,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: because it's like talking to a computer. So, uh, DOGE
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: is an advisory group. We are doing the best we
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: can as an advisory group. The progress made thus far
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: as an advisory group is excellent. I don't think any
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: advisory group has done better in the history of advisory
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: groups of the government now. But we do not make
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the laws, nor do we control the judiciary, nor do
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we control the executive branch. We are simply advisors. In
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that context, we're doing very well. Beyond that, we cannot
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we cannot take action beyond that because we are not
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: some sort of imperial dictator of the government. There are
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: three branches of government that that art some degree opposed
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to that level of cost savings. Unless let's let's let's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: not criticize whether there's four trillion and instead look at
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the fact that one hundred and sixty billion has been
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: saved and more we save two.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: See, it's not that the media is trying in good
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: faith and just simply you know, failing to inform the public.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's that objectivity and integrity are just never on the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: table in the first place. It's about framing that often
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: just outright deception in service to this you know, predecided narrative.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: That's what she's doing here, She's framing. She's trying to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: frame it negatively, but also too framing DOGE as something
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that it's not. It's in an advisory role, it doesn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: have the power to actually do anything itself. Right, So,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in a society in which merit has become basically a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: dirty word for the elites, it's certain that there are
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: many journalists, maybe this one, simply have no idea that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: DOGE is just an advisory body with no authority to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: cut anything. That they just advise the agencies who ultimately
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: make the decisions. Right, they're just advising. So she may
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: be one of the journalists who just literally has no
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: idea what she's talking about. It just she understands the narrative.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You know, she's told what to do and she just
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: does it right. You certainly will have there certainly are
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: journalists who know what they're doing and are doing it knowingly.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: They knowingly are lying to the public. You have, you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: activist judges. Obviously you seem to feel like they have
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: more power than the president and are operating just on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: ideological grounds or the whims of political fashion whatever for
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the people. You know, they have to answer to the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: people at their dinner parties. But certainly there are many
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: many who know what they're doing, pretend not to know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and are happy just to manipulate over inform. And that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is the job now, manipulation over informing. Right. So in short,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it's just it's rigged. So when Elon Musk is talking
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to people like this, it's just rigged. And the only
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: remedy to this is to strip them of audience and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: funds and to call them out publicly, which when done well,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it does both and it works. You know, we've seen that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that is what's respect for the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: rise of new media. Independent media is what we're really
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: responsible for. Trump twenty twenty four. It probably couldn't have happened.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It probably couldn't have happened without Elon Musk buying X
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, so this is a great lesson, right in that,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, does this journalist it seems like this is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a pretty big deal, like this whatever this is, this
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in conversation with Elon Musk. It seems like a pretty
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I think this is a Bloomberg thing. Probably it's like
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a pretty big deal, right, So she should know she's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: asking the questions of Elon Musk, who is not just
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: some guy. She should know that Elon Musk is not
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: personally making cuts, and that he's failing to make the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: cuts that he promised. No, he's advising. He's advising, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty billion dollars in savings already is
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: very impressive. But she has to frame it negatively that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: he's failing in some way. It's the job. That's her
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: job anyway. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share,
• 7:06

• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for that. I will see you next time.
