Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst and trader, Chris Markowski.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Elon Musk, and Michael Jordan. I watched yesterday. I watched
the space X launch and it was it was. It
was awesome. I mean, it really was. If you I mean,
you can go online, you can watch it and what

(00:37):
they're doing and again they're going through and you got
commentary and they're explaining what they're testing and what they're
trying to improve upon and all these things. And again
my growing up, we had the Space Shuttle and obviously
you know the tragedies that went along with the Space

(00:59):
Shuttle one back in eighty and then I think that
the second one when that was it, I'd be like
two thousand and two, two thousand and three, I can't remember,
but it was pretty much the same thing. You know,
that the Space Shuttle would go up and you know,
people it was must see TV. People kind of got
bored of it. What Musk is doing at SpaceX is

(01:22):
incredible in the sense that everything he's improving every single time.
They're working on making it better and better and better,
and not a single launch is the same. And again,
try to get your arms around what they're doing and

(01:43):
what they are accomplishing. Now, why do I bring up
Elon Musk and Michael Jordan. Well, you have these people
from all over the globe, people in the media that
hate them. You had what was it, the uh the

(02:03):
President's wife in Brazil go off on a rant about him,
and I say to myself, who the hell are you?
What have you done? What have you accomplished? And it
reminded me that that it was the documentary with Michael Jordan,

(02:24):
the Last Dance and at various different times where people
trash talked Mike or he felt disrespected and he would
just take it to them and put them in their place. Again.
I saw you people that hate you, lawn Mark because

(02:46):
buddies are Trump. I'm like, you go after this guy
for some of the dumbest things. Ever, how do you
how do you not respect them? How do you not
respect what he's accomplished, what he's doing. I don't own

(03:07):
I don't own a single Tesla product, but I certainly
respect what he's doing athletes. I think understand this and
get this. It was interesting. I saw a letter was
written from Roger Federer to Nadal Dal's retiring and basically

(03:32):
going through and you know, congratulating what a great career
and what it was great to play against him and
the competition that they had against one another. You know,
sometimes you just tip your cap two people that are
accomplished and do amazing things. It's the thing about you

(03:52):
people on the left, you don't really okay, I guess
part of your methodology. You don't really like to accomplish much.
You just like to tear people down. You like to
tear people down. I always go back to my Harrison
Burjon Kurt Vonnegut short story. You want equality. I don't
want equality. Lessing in the world is I want is equality?

(04:17):
Quality sucks? You want everything being the same. Oh, you
want equality in restaurants. You want all restaurants to be
the same, so they all suck equally. We ain't live
in a world where it is a meritocracy, where you
succeed based upon the work that you put in, the
merit that you have. And again, you gotta tip your cat.

(04:42):
You gotta tip your cap to people like Elon Musk, Oh,
you can't let it because he's buddies with Trump and
he bought X and all the liberals are going to
Blue Sky and are having a collective meltdown over there. Honestly,
I feel sorry for you people, I really do. Watchdog
