Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / ELON MUSK Declares WAR On Woke Companies
Transcript
- 0:03So Elon Musk has taken the gloves off, and we'll get to the video
- 0:07in a second, but first, what's the story here and what caused Elon
- 0:11Musk's reaction? Well, X formerly Twitter is being boycotted yet again by a
- 0:17bunch of companies Airbnb, Coca Cola, Disney, IBM, Microsoft Infinity and
- 0:23more, the usual suspects. And they're all doing this because they're saying that
- 0:27Elon Musk is anti Semitic, and the fact that that's just obviously not true
- 0:32doesn't matter because it's not really about that. These are coordinated campaigns to try
- 0:38and destroy X formerly Twitter because the platform is not fully in line with the
- 0:44establishment narrative. Now, let's take a look at what he said. And
- 0:48you're clarifying this now, but there's a public perception that that was part of
- 0:53a apology tour, if you will. This had been said online, there
- 0:58was all of the criticism, There was average tiers leaving. We talked to
- 1:00Bob, I hope they stop you, hope don't advertise. You don't want
- 1:06them to advertise. No, what do you mean if somebody's gonna try to
- 1:11blackmail me with advertising, blackmailing with money? Go fuck yourself, but go
- 1:22fuck yourself? Is that clear? God? That feels good? Doesn't that
- 1:27feel good? Oh? Fuck yourself? Is that clear? I hope it
- 1:34is? Hey Bob here in the audience. He's referring there to Bob Eiger
- 1:40from Disney, who is one of the people boycotting advertising on Twitter. That's
- 1:44how I feel. Don't advertise. How do you think that about the economics
- 1:49of X if if part of the underlying model at least today, and maybe
- 1:55it needs to shift. Maybe the answer is it needs to shift away from
- 1:57advertising. If you believe that this is the one part of your business where
- 2:02you will be beholden to those who have this view, what do you do?
- 2:10Why? F why? I'm sold? I understand that. But there's
- 2:20a reality too, right, Yes, no, No, I mean Yakarino's
- 2:27right here, and she's got to sell advertise absolutely so well. Linda Yakarino's
- 2:30the CEO of X And let's see what she had to say about this interview.
- 2:34She said she said today. Elon Musk gave a wide ranging and candid
- 2:38interview at deal Book twenty twenty three. He also offered an apology, an
- 2:44explanation, and an explicit point of view about our position. X is enabling
- 2:50an information independence that's uncomfortable for some people. We're a platform that allows people
- 2:57to make their own decisions. Here's my perspective when it comes to advertising.
- 3:01EX is standing at a unique and amazing intersection of free speech and main street,
- 3:07and the EX community is powerful and is here to welcome you to our
- 3:12partners who believe in our meaningful work. Thank you. Now, she does
- 3:16work for Elon, but she's publicly supporting them. She's not resigning. No,
- 3:21no, tell you so, no, Actually, what what this advertising
- 3:24boycott is going to do? It? It's going to kill a company and
- 3:31do you think that? And the whole world well know that those advertisers kill
- 3:37the company, and we will document it in great detail. But there are
- 3:40those advertisers, I imagine are going to say they're going to say, we
- 3:44didn't kill the company. Oh yeah, they're going to say to tell it
- 3:46to Earth. But they're going to say that. They're going to say Elon
- 3:50that you killed the company because you said these things and that they were inappropriate
- 3:53things and that they didn't feel comfortable on the platform. Right, That's that's
- 3:58what I'm going to say. And let's see how earth response to that.
- 4:01He's saying that Twitter is a big platform and boycott's can go both ways,
- 4:08and there's more than a couple of companies lately that I found out that you're
- 4:12playing with fire when you piss off the public something. Okay, Then this
- 4:16goes back to we'll both make our cases right and we'll see what the outcome
- 4:21is. What are the economics of that for you? I mean, you
- 4:25have enormous resources, so you can actually keep this company going for a very
- 4:28long time. Would you keep it going for a long time if there was
- 4:30no advertising? I mean, if the company fails because of an advertised boycott,
- 4:35it will fail because of an advertised boycott, and that will be what
- 4:40bankrupt of the company, and that's what everybody on Earth will know. Well,
- 4:44what do you think then of the Again, this goes back to the
- 4:46idea of trust. Though it will be gone, and it will be gone
- 4:48because of an advertised boycott. But you recognize that some of those people are
- 4:54going to say that they didn't feel comfortable on the platform, and I want
- 4:58I just wonder and ask you think about that first to the judge. But
- 5:02the judge is going to be the judge of the public. You see the
- 5:06interviewer's complete shock at that statement that the judge is the public in the world
- 5:13that he lives in the public. It's not just at the bottom of the
- 5:16list, it's not on the list, it's not even considered. You can
- 5:20see that he's shocked into silence just at the very idea. And you think
- 5:25that the public is going to say that that Disney is making a mistake.
- 5:30Yeah, and they're going to boycott Disney. There already are, well,
- 5:34there are some that are for lots of different reasons. But you think that
- 5:38this is going to that you have. This goes actually the interesting of power
- 5:43and leverage. Let the chips full where they may, let the chips full
- 5:48where they may can. I ask why that is the approach. I ask
- 5:53it because you've been very approached. Well, you've been very particular about the
- 5:57approach to Tesla. I mean you think about the engineer involved in that,
- 6:00the approach to SpaceX, the approach to some of the stuff you're doing with
- 6:04AI has been very specific. Right, there's not a let the chips fall
- 6:10where they may approach to those businesses. I don't think we're focused on making
- 6:14the best products, and Tells he has gotten to where it's gotten with no
- 6:17advertising at all. I understand that Tellla currently sells to twice much in terms
- 6:26of electric vehicles as the rest of electric carmakers in the United States combined.
- 6:30Tells has done more to help the environment than all other companies combined. Refair
- 6:39to say that, therefore, as a leader of the company, I've done
- 6:42more for the environment than everyone, any single human on earth. How do
- 6:46you feel about that? I feel about that. Yeah, No, I'm
- 6:50asking you personally how you feel about that? Because this goes We're talking about
- 6:54power and influence, and I'm saying I'm saying what I care about is the
- 6:57reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all
- 7:01of the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil. Fuck
- 7:06them. Okay, Yeah, that's not the sort of thing that you're supposed
- 7:12to hear from people in his position. And I've got to say it's awesome.
- 7:17Now, Musk knows that it's never going to stop. The boycotting,
- 7:20the attacks, it's never going to stop. And it's all fake, And
- 7:25it doesn't matter if everybody knows it's fake, They're not going to stop it's
- 7:29never going to be enough because he committed the ultimate sin. Once you've given
- 7:33hope that the machine can be defeated, that the mainstream media and the leftist
- 7:39narrative, the established narrative doesn't have to be the last word. Well,
- 7:45that's too far and there is no redemption from that. You must be crushed.
- 7:50So what he's doing is he's taking the fight to them. He's telling
- 7:55evil woke companies like Disney that is an eye for an eye, and they,
- 7:59as is obvious now after we've seen with like Budweiser and Tario, they're
- 8:03not immune from cancelation themselves. And he's fighting on the legal front as well,
- 8:09suing media matters. And let's not forget he said he bought Twitter to
- 8:13basically save Western civilization, to fight the woke mind virus that seeks to destroy
- 8:18it. So if that is genuinely his goal, and I believe that it
- 8:22is. What good is Twitter if it's just another cog in the narrative machine.
- 8:28So he's going full live, free or die, and it looks like
- 8:31he means it anyway. That's all I gotta say about that. Please subscribe,
- 8:35like and share. Sharing really helps me out. I thank you for
- 8:39that. I will see you next time.
