President Biden is SCREWING Elon Musk | HUGE LASHOUT
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well Elon Musk was rejected again
regarding the Twitter Elon Musk had
tried to meet with the head of the good
old FTC this is an organization and
Twitter has had a long history with back
in 2011 there was an investigation into
Twitter about privacy concerns by the
FTC the Federal Trade Commission and
apparently Twitter paid a 150 million
dollar fine that's a massive amount of
money mind you
150 million dollar fine over alleged
violations of a settlement that Twitter
had with the FTC in 2021 now that
agreement was expanded to prohibit a
Twitter from using certain data like
targeting ads however a former Chief
security officer at Twitter
whistleblue Twitter and basically
brought the FTC right back into
investigating Twitter now Elon Musk is
taking a very
business-like approach which is all
right look if we've got a problem with
the FTC let's set up a meeting with the
head of the FTC and if we set up a
meeting with the head of the FTC then
maybe we can get to the bottom of what
the actual problem is well unfortunately
the head of the FTC rejected Elon Musk
from meeting her instead of actually
providing any kind of communication to
Elon Musk her response was simply no
thanks go ahead and comply with our
regulations and then we'll consider
meeting with you
that's because right now the FTC is
actually taking potential enforcement
action against Twitter multiple cases
from the FTC against Twitter to
investigate their compliance with trade
laws now what's really interesting over
at the FTC is the fact that it's become
a little bit of a hotbed in terms of
potential polarization and the way to
potentially look at this is by examining
the letter from the former commissioner
of the FTC who resigned at the beginning
of this month just March 2nd of 2023 the
previous commissioner of the FTC bailed
out now this is interesting so let's go
ahead and put this up on screen here I'm
not sure how we're going to go ahead and
do that I believe if I push this button
this button ah yeah this is very nice
okay good and then I can throw this
button on oh look at the travel Studios
kicking butt by the way if you like the
way I can set up this travel Studio a
lot of this is actually thanks to stream
yards so big shout out to stream yard
you can learn more about stream yard by
going to metcaven.com stream yard they
are a phenomenal uh way to record and
live stream so shout out to stream yard
this is the platform I use again that's
met Kevin met
kevin.com stream yard give them a give
them a check out I think you'll really
enjoy them so anyway take a look at this
particular letter here this is the
former commission commissioner of the
FTC and what do they have to say they
talk about how they're on their third
tour of Duty at the agency and they
believe in this agency is The Little
Engine That Could but unfortunately it
seems that after the Biden
Administration took over some things
started to fall apart at the FTC
remember this is a Federal Trade
Commission for example the Trade
Commission has very particular rules
such as when I get potentially paid to
say go to metcaven.com streaming go I
should potentially also throw up this
little Banner here which says paid
promotion hey look I fixed the spelling
uh anyway so the FTC here says in uh
2020 87 of responding employees agreed
that there are high standards of honesty
and integrity in 2020 83 percent of FTC
employees agree that there was a high
level of respect and in 2020 80 of FTC
respondents agreed that senior leaders
generate high levels of motivation and
commitment in the workforce well
unfortunately after the Biden
Administration took over those numbers
almost halved in 2021 high levels of
standard and honest standards for
honesty and integrity fell to 53 and 21
49 and 22 high level of respect fell
from 83 percent to 49 and 44 for 2122
and generating high levels of motivation
fell from 80 to 42 and 21 and 36 in
2022. in other words the FTC here is
making uh or the former FTC chairperson
or commissioner here is making the
argument that look whatever happened
since Joe Biden came in and suggested
that we were going to sort of minimize
some of the divisiveness in our culture
has actually reduced the efficacy of our
agency's trust in each other if anything
it's become more divided and at the same
time less motivated in fact they go as
far as saying that in 2020 the FTC
brought 79 consumer protection actions
but in 2021 that number declined by more
than half to just 32. the number did
increase in 2022 to 46 but still well
below the 79 actions taken in 2020. here
the commissioner is really arguing the
FDC is becoming less functional for some
reason whatever the reason is but as
soon as the Biden Administration took
over under that leadership whatever
happened whether it was the political
environment whether it was Biden
Administration nobody knows exactly whom
to blame but for some reason this
commissioner is resigning under the
argument that the FTC is becoming much
less efficacious in fact they say that
fraudsters doubled down in 2022 and
consumers reportedly lost 8.8 billion
dollars to fraud an increase of more
than 30 percent from the previous year
yet the FTC took a fraction of the
actions that it previously did and as a
result for the sake of the American
people Mr President I wish you success
in the remainder of your tenure and I
implore you to closely examine the
developments of the Federal Trade
Commission to ensure that your vision of
a return to normalcy is being
implemented with care this person by the
way is uh was is not very excited about
the new commissioner Mrs Khan Mrs Khan
was appointed by the Biden
Administration and Mrs Khan is actually
the individual who rebuffed Elon Musk
from a meeting suggesting ah well deal
with the enforcement action first and
then we'll go ahead and consider any
kind of commentary from you Mr musk now
what I think is really interesting about
this is usually what you find when you
have an agency investigating uh somebody
like an Elon Musk you usually have
bureaucrats who are doing the best
possible job that they can but they are
bound by bureaucratic processes and
entrepreneurs generally don't mesh with
bureaucrats that is nothing to say that
bureaucrats are bad people it's not to
say that entrepreneurs are bad people
it's just to say it's literally like
trying to put a square peg in a round
hole it just does not work entrepreneurs
look at look what's the problem let's
figure out how we can solve the problem
and let's just implement it the next day
if that means we have to flip-flop if
that means we have to change our mind if
that means people have to get fired if
that means things have to be broken to
get it right that's what we're going to
do because ultimately the goal of an
entrepreneur is to make sure that the
Enterprise makes as much money and
provides the best value possible to its
users the best money is important for
not only its employees but also its
shareholders and of course providing the
best value is important for society
however of course we do have regulation
and the role of a bureaucrat is to say
that well that's fine you can have the
motivations of providing the most value
and providing the most shareholder value
so consumer value and shareholder value
but we have to do so within the scope of
our rules and if the scope of our rules
are ones that suggest you must do things
a certain way and you must meet our
check boxes then we're going to continue
to bug you until you complete our check
boxes and Elon Musk is trying to
essentially suggest yeah I'm just going
to try to go to the commissioner here
and maybe we can just work this out and
quite frankly that is very common for an
entrepreneur an entrepreneur who goes
and pounds the table at like the city
building and safety office and says I
want to talk to the manager usually
actually doesn't get very far with
bureaucracies you have to earn your
respect from the bottom up not from the
top down which in entrepreneurship you
get much more sort of a top-down style
of governance in bureaucracies you have
to earn it from the bottom up everyone
at the bottom has to like you for the
next levels to like you and the next
levels to like you the next levels to
like you and it's hard because you
basically have to please every
bureaucrat along the way because all it
takes is one bureaucrat really hating
your guts and you're screwed right so I
mean that's just the nature of
government but uh Elon Musk clearly
exhibits his frustration over this and
uh and and so you could see uh
potentially the the failing of the FTC
here and really doing anything based on
what the FTC is suggesting here even
though they're investigating Twitter is
it possible that they might get less
done under this new commissioner whom
the Biden Administration appointed
because of the internal strife of the at
the FTC yes could that sandbag Elon Musk
even more absolutely and I think that's
an important takeaway here is that the
more Elon Musk gets sandbagged by
Regulators the more risky it is that
Twitter ends up losing money and the
more risky it is that Elon Musk ends up
having to sell Tesla stock to support
Twitter now keep in mind Elon Musk has
made a quote-unquote promise he has
obviously the right to change his mind
quote unquote promise not to sell Tesla
stock into a Tesla stock in 2023 I
personally believe that Elon musk's
selling of Tesla stock 24 million
dollars in 2022 was exactly why Tesla
plummeted to the core of the Earth at
105 at a low and as soon as we had tax
loss harvesting in December which
Amplified that effect along with
shorting and then that flip-flop of
short covering along with re-entering in
in January we've seen a recovery that
can all change if Elon Musk is forced to
sell again that's why I personally
actually am paying attention to what's
happening with Mrs Khan and the FTC I
want to pay attention to this mostly
because I am exposed as a Tesla
shareholder and so I'm going to watch
what The Regulators are doing with
Twitter because unfortunately the nature
of Regulation is one that does not play
nice with entrepreneurs Regulators do
not like people who are Trailblazers
dare we say when you hear the word
Trailblazer try not to think of the car
try to to think of somebody who's doing
something that that just isn't it
doesn't have a clear precedent yet to
some extent crypto is like that with the
Security and Exchange Commission or even
the commodity future Trade Commission
neither agency really knows who has the
power to regulate crypto and Congress
isn't going to do anything to suggest
anything either direction so the only
way the cftc and the SEC can actually
get to the bottom of what their role
should be is by basically asking the
court systems to decide so it's very
understandable for the SEC and the
Commodities future trading commission
probably to file endless more lawsuits
for crypto related claims because really
they're trying to in some extent
find their place via the judicial system
telling them what to do and it's
possible that the FTC will do the same
thing with Twitter which unfortunately
becomes very expensive and very painful
so I think that's something to keep in
mind as an investor in Tesla keep in
mind also that uh there were a lot of
news organizations and and even uh
um prolific athletes who are suggesting
they are not going to pay for Elon
musk's blue check mark for example
LeBron James suggests he is too cheap to
pay for the blue check mark but you also
have other agencies as well suggesting
this I mean LeBron James though somebody
who's worth somewhere around a billion
dollars which makes this pretty
incredible but beyond that the LA Times
the New York Times The Washington Post
BuzzFeed Vox political CNN all those
agencies by the way lean slightly left
all of them suggesting no we don't want
to pay for a blue check mark absolutely
not we won't pay for a blue check mark
screw the blue check mark and so it's
kind of interesting because it's going a
little counter to elon's plan to to
monetize Twitter keep in mind also that
in recent filings uh you've had Elon
Musk value Twitter at about 20 billion
dollars Which is less than half of the
previous 44 billion valuation that
Twitter had it puts it at about 45 to 46
percent uh of the valuation my hair is a
mess right now and I apologize for that
it's bothering me I'm trying to fix it
but then again I can't even really see
it myself who cares and I don't know why
I'm getting distracted by that so
