Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gem Nation Well. Elon Musk is an unelected
official who seems to be holding very important positions in
the White House at the moment. A lot of people
aren't happy with the imagery of him with his son
on his shoulder, stand next to Donald Trump in the
White House. Donald Trump pretty much doing an ad for
the cybertruck out the front of the White House. Elon
Musk running a department that's chopping through their civil service

(00:24):
and celebrating that by wielding a chainsaw, him saying my
heart to you while he looks like he's doing a
Nazi salute. He's engendered a lot of anger, and he's
making changes, negative changes to a lot of people's lives.
And he's not an elected official, so there's anger around
about him. So people are taking out on his cyber
trucks for these cyber trucks are the most god awful,

(00:45):
ugly car I think I've ever seen in my life.
This is so he's got the Tesla and then there's
the cyber truck. It looks like, would you say, Brendan
like a transformer.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Kids drawing of what a truck might be.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, that's right, that's absolutely right. But people have been
torching them. And it's interesting that the FBI has come
out and said there's a task force targeting the anti
Tesla quote domestic tourism. So it's okay if you have
a spate of violence where you can take a gun
into a school and kill kids, there's thoughts and prayers,
but this is domestic tourism and it must sorry terrorism.

(01:19):
It must stop. Right. Yeah, interesting this it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's changed though, hasn't it. Everyone was loving the Tesla.
Everyone was loving those cyber trucks. Well here's Joe Rogan
was shooting arrows at them. Although that was his way
of demonstrating that he liked the truck.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
He shoot an arrow at I didn't think Elon was inside.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
No, he shot the out because of the things, specially
because it's made out of stale and steel.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well, the Tesla stock price has dropped. This is what
the problem if you're a shareholder with Elon Musk, his
brand is failing. Tesla's stock has dropped by over fifty
percent since December. The decline has wiped eight hundred billion
in market value. Extraordinary, isn't it. And there's tests in
thirty states across the country as we said. People are

(02:02):
vandalizing Tellstra dealerships, individual Tesla vehicles as well as these
cyber trucks. People have been putting stickers on their Tesla's
saying I bought this before Elon went crazy, saying leave
me a lie alarm on your side. I just bought
it because it's a car. But in the midst of
all this, I came across this woman. Her name is
I'll find it any second now, Kathy, old mate, Kathy

(02:25):
old mate. Her name is Alessandra Brancher. I think it's
her name, and she has written a song that I
can't tell. The lyrics are so hilarious. She looks sincere,
but it could be parody. But either way, this song
has been taken by Elon's super fans and embraced and
this is the song. So people are taking this seriously,

(02:49):
whether that was its intention or not.
