Speaker 1 (00:00):
President Trump and Elon Musk are now involved in the
mother of all feuds, and honestly, I think both share
some of the blame. But without question, the person who
crossed a line, and I don't know how you come
back from crossing such a line is Elon Musk. Not
(00:22):
only did he go out and criticize the bill, and look,
I have problems with the bill as well, the big
beautiful bill, a lot of pork, a lot of spending.
I don't like the debt ceiling being lifted by five
trillion dollars. So I thought on the substance, Elon in
many ways had the high ground, but now we're not
talking about the merits of the bill. When Trump shot
(00:46):
back that Elon is upset because billions of dollars in
ev subsidies, solar panels, tax credits that would directly benefit
Tesla were taken out, and then said that perhaps Elon
is suffering from a case of Trump de rangement syndrome,
Elon went absolutely ballistic. I mean, he went nuts, He
(01:10):
lost his mind. He called for Trump to be impeached.
He then said it's time to start a new political party,
one that would be opposed to Trump and to MAGA.
He then warned all Republicans that they have to make
a choice him or Trump, and to remind everyone that
(01:31):
Trump will be out of office in three years, but
Elon will be around for over forty years. In other words,
it's either him or me. But the one that to
me is most unforgivable is Elon Musk openly saying on
X that Trump is in the Epstein files and this
(01:54):
is the reason why Pam Bondi and Cash Ptel refused
to release them. And as he put it, mark this down.
I will be proven right in the future. In essence,
he has now publicly accused Trump of being a pedophile
or having inappropriate sexual relations with underage minor women or
(02:18):
minor girls. It is defamatory. There is no evidence, no
proof whatsoever. It is a dirty, vicious, nasty, below the
belt attack. As I said, it's a smear. You don't
say stuff like this. That's the equivalent of when women
(02:38):
accuse men of raping them and they lie. Elon lied,
and he smeared Trump, and he owes President Trump an apology.
But at this point the damage has now been done.
There is now massive divisions within MAGA. This looks bad
on the administration. This alliance between Trump and Musk has
(03:03):
now been sundered, which is exactly what the media, the Democrats,
and the left always wanted. And in the end, I
blame Elon Musk. Musk stabbed Trump in the back. As
far as I'm concerned, Elon is a trader, he is
a liar, and he's now a smear merchant. And unless
(03:27):
he makes a full, unequivocal, complete apology, if I'm President Trump,
I want nothing to do with this guy. Maybe superficially
patched things up for the good of the country and
the good of the movement, but don't ever invite him
back into your administration, don't ever give him another position
(03:49):
in your government, and certainly don't hold another rally with him.
I wouldn't have anything to do with him. And Elon
now is going to learn a lesson. It's going to
be a very painful lesson that being a never Trumper
is a sad, pathetic, miserable existence. And he's going to
(04:10):
be just like Robert de Niro and Rosie O'Donnell and
Mitt Romney and Chris Christie and Liz Cheney and Hillary
Rotten Clinton. He's going to now realize that his life
is essentially going to be over, and that he has
now made the biggest mistake of his entire career, and
(04:34):
that the public and MAGA will never forgive him. Elon
Musk just jumped the shark, and I believe this is
the fatal mistake and this will be This is the
beginning of the end of Elon. He was right to
criticize the bill, but once he went personal, once he
(04:56):
got negative, once he got defamity, he lost not just
a moral high ground, he lost my respect and I
believe he lost the respect of many within MAGA. Elon
Musk's political career is now over. Elon Musk, rest in
(05:19):
peace because your political career, as far as I'm concerned,
is over. Elon Musk should apologize, and if he won't,
Trump should dump him and dump him permanently.
