  Let's talk a bit about your tweets, um, because it comes up a
• 0:04
  lot um even today, it came up in you know, anticipation of this.
• 0:09
  I mean, um, you know, you do some tweets that seem
• 0:12
  to be or at least give support to some who would call others conspiracy theories.
• 0:19
  Well yes, but I mean honestly, you know some of these conspiracy
• 0:25
  theories, uh have turned out to be true? Which ones were? Like
• 0:31
  the hunter Biden laptop that's true? Yeah? Yeah? So uh you know
• 0:36
  that that that that was a pretty big deal. There was Twitter and and
• 0:40
  and and others engaged in active suppression of information that was relevant to the public.
• 0:45
  Um. That's that's a that's a terrible thing that happened. That's like
• 0:47
  your interference. But how do you make a choice you don't see, I
• 0:51
  mean in terms of when you're going to engage. I mean, for example,
• 0:54
  even today, elon you you you tweeted this thing about George Soros.
• 0:59
  Well looking for because I want to make sure I quote it properly, but
• 1:02
  I mean, you know what you wrote, but you basically this is like,
• 1:06
  you know, calm down, people, this is not out of it.
• 1:08
  As you said, he wants to rode the very fabric of civilization and
• 1:12
  source hates humanity. Like when you do something like that, Yeah, I
• 1:17
  think that's true. That's my opinion, Okay, but why share it?
• 1:19
  Why share it especially? I mean why share it when people who buy teslas
• 1:25
  may not agree with you, advertisers are on Twitter may not agree with you.
• 1:29
  Um, why not just say hey, I think this. You can
• 1:32
  tell me, we can talk about it over there, you can tell your
• 1:34
  friends, But why share it widely? I mean, this is freedom of
• 1:40
  speech. I'm allowed to say whatever you absolutely are, But I'm trying to
• 1:42
  understand why you do, because you have to know it's got a there.
• 1:46
  It puts you in a in the middle of a partisan divide in the country.
• 1:49
  It makes you a lightning rod for criticism. I mean, do you
• 1:53
  like that. You know people today saying he's an anti Semite. I don't
• 1:57
  think you are. No, I'm definitely. I'm like, I'm like a
• 2:00
  process might if anything, I believe that probably is the case. Why would
• 2:05
  you even introduce the idea of it that that would be the case. I
• 2:08
  mean, it looks we don't want to make this a George Stars interview.
• 2:12
  No, God, no, I don't. I don't want to at all.
• 2:14
  But I'm what I'm trying even came up there in the annual meeting.
• 2:15
  I mean, you know, do your tweets hurt the company? Are there
• 2:20
  test loaners to say I don't agree with his political position because and I know
• 2:23
  it because he shares so much of it? Or are there advertisers on Twitter
• 2:27
  that Linda Yak Greena will come and say you gotta stop man, Or you
• 2:30
  know, I can't get these ads because of some of the things you tweet.
• 2:46
  You know, I'm reminded of as a see it in the Princess Bride,
• 2:55
  great movie, Great Um, where he confronts the person who killed his
• 3:00
  father. He says, offer me money, offer me power. I don't
• 3:15
  care. So you just don't care. You want to share what you have
• 3:23
  to say, I'll say I don't want to say. And if, if,
• 3:27
  if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it. Okay.
• 3:34
  But I mean when you when you when you link to somebody who's talking
• 3:38
  about the guy who killed children in a mall in Allen, Texas, you
• 3:44
  say something like it might be a bad siop. I'm not quite sure what
• 3:46
  you meant, but oh, in that particular case, there was a somehow
• 4:00
  that's that's not not not that the that the obviously people people were killed,
• 4:05
  but the it was I think incorrectly ascribed to be a white supremacist action.
• 4:12
  Um. And the evidence for that was some obscure Russian website that no one's
• 4:17
  ever heard of that had no followers. Um. And the the company that
• 4:24
  that found this is belling Cat, Right, you know what bellect does psy
• 4:29
  ops. Right. I couldn't really even follow exactly what it was you were
• 4:32
  trying to express there, So that's part why I was curious. But I'm
• 4:35
  saying that I thought that the ascribing a too white supremacy was bullshit, okay,
• 4:41
  and and uh and and and that the information for that came from an
• 4:46
  obscure Russian website and was somehow magically found by baling Cat, which is a
• 4:50
  company that does psy ops. And there's no proof, by the way,
• 4:56
  that he was not. There's no I would say that there's no proof that
• 4:59
  he And that's a debate you want to get into on Twitter. Yes,
• 5:05
  because we should not be ascribing things to watch supremacy if there if it's false
