Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning show with Michael dil Choono.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Is America sowuring its opinion on Ela Musk? And I
got to tell you on this one. You know, these
kinds of things. You have to look at how the
questions are asked. You bring up something negative like billionaire
as opposed to someone's brilliant that can put a rocket
into space, return it to it, you know, but the
question becomes is America souring on Elon Musk? Well, based
on the way this question was asked in its result,

(00:25):
possibly right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
And this is out of a series of one, two, three, four, five,
six different polls that find his approval numbers all going
in the wrong direction as of late. And that's before
what happened with the yeah stuff. So I think people
during the transition just didn't like the idea of the
world's richest man and the president becoming so buddy, buddy,

(00:48):
I think we like to have.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
That wall of separation there.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I wonder if America would feel the same way about
Bezos or Zuckerberg or any of the others that have
surrounded themselves but this president as well well, Right, And I.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Think you just don't like to see money and power.
I don't know overlap so much. Oh, because it's never
happened before, right, Is this where you turn into the
rooster and bring this rocket back to it's holster?

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Well yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Then of course is recent Elon Musk recently get involved
in German politics has gotten a little bit questionable.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
So yeah, it's just a it's a series of things.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
And then even the Tesla shareholders are like, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey over here, pay attention to us, please you you
have an obligation to get more money and make.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
More profit for Tesla for your shareholders. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, I think he's probably capable of doing more than
one thing at a time. But you know I do
this all the time with Joe Rogan. You know, I
don't think Joe Rogan should allow himself to get sucked
into politics. He'll go from twenty million down to one million,
like the rest that are in the political realm. So
people ought to be careful what they get sucked into
that might be legit. So as America souring, well they're
open to this notion. We don't like billionaires too close

(02:08):
to president. It's that much probably is true.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Right, that's what it seems to be.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
And just you know, who has influence with I don't
want to say over the president, or who can influence
the president.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
You know, that's something we may not like to have
on display.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
We saw Caroline Levitt just kind of running through a
laundry list of and it's hard to keep up with
everything Donald Trump has done in his first week of office,
but there's more work to do, from the Panama Canal
to confirmation hearings RFK, the betrayal of his cousin Caroline.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Rory's going to be back with that story next half hour.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Thanks Rory, miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot,
and we'll miss you. It's your Morning Show with Michael
