TRUMP BREAKS SILENCE: Responds to Elon Apology
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Donald Trump responds to the Elon Musk
freakout. Let's listen to this clip.
Apparently, it's an exclusive from the
New York Post. See what they got for us
and uh what it could mean for Tesla.
Now, what happened with Elon? Um is
there anything that that it's Alon now
to forgive him? Could you see that
happening? Well, I look I have no hard
feelings for you. I was I was really
surprised
uh that that happened. He went after a
bill that's that's phenomenal. It's it's
the best thing we've ever signed in this
country. And that's phase one. I I will
say expanding the Trump tax cuts are a
big deal for a lot of small and medium
businesses, especially what they were
talking about in the Bessant hearing.
They didn't say it very clearly, but
they talk about this, you know, 100%
deduction for businesses. They're
talking about basically these these
accelerated depreciation benefits where
they're bringing back through this bill
the opportunity to buy equipment or
machinery or whatever and expense it all
in a year. I I'll tell you really
quickly and I want to keep going with
this Trump thing, but why that's so
important. Imagine that this aircraft is
is like a piece of machinery for a farm
or it's a data center server. It's a
computer or whatever. Okay. Now, let's
say this this piece of machinery is uh
$13 million and uh you got a loan on it
for $9 million. Uh through Trump's tax
policies, you would be able to write off
the full $13 million and basically
eradicate that from your income by
assuming that this is now worth zero
through tax policy. Uh and so that's
just an example of one of the big things
that gets extended and is talked about
getting extended in this. Uh, and so
that could actually be a boom for the
uh, aircraft manufacturers again. Uh,
you know, whether that's Cirrus or Embra
or whomever. Anyway, let's keep going.
In phase two, phase three, all of a
sudden is, you know, it all comes
together. It's coming together so well.
And when he did that, I was not a happy
camper. Yeah. So, it's too bad. You said
he had pro Wait, I want to see his
facial reaction to that. I was not a
happy camper. Yeah. This is pretty much
classic Trump. Happy camper.
So, it's too bad. You said he had
problems. What kind of problems? I mean,
is it the drugs? I don't know what his
problem is, right? I haven't thought too
much about him in the last little while.
And uh he just didn't get I think he
feels very badly that he said that
actually. And maybe it was something
else. I mean, he I don't know. I I feel
like maybe I'm reading into this a
little bit more, but there's like this
subtle facial expression that you get
there from Trump. It's just slight like
a slight little jaw movement after I
think he feels very badly. That to me
indicates our suspicion that the Trump
team told Elon you're going to disappear
andor your companies are going to
disappear if you don't shut the f up. I
I feel like you could see a little bit.
I'm probably way overreading it, but you
tell me. Okay. As I think he feels very
badly. You see this like jaw jitter and
I feel like it's like I effing hate that
guy and we creamed him and got him to
U-turn. You know, outwardly remember
Trump will have a bias of wanting to
come across as, you know, the big heart
human. This is part of, you know, like
when you see him at Fort Bragg yesterday
and he's like, "Can we get a doctor?
There's a there's a beautiful woman. She
needs a doctor. Can we get a doctor?"
And then he patiently waits. Thank you.
Thank you, doctor, for coming, right?
Like these moments are designed to make
him seem like the big heart candid
human. And and maybe he is, right? But
but that's that's the point. Like part
of it can also be like by design. But
anyway, watch watch for that movement
there. Maybe I'm reading into it too
much. I think he feels very badly that
he said that actually. And maybe it was
something else. I mean, he had the fight
with Scott Besson outside your office.
Yeah. Well, they had not a fist fight,
you know, people, but I guess they had a
little bit of a shouting match, but
that's Did you hear it? That's typical.
I know a little bit. That's sort of
typical about, you know, Yeah, that
happened.
Wow. Okay, that's really interesting.
So, what did we get from this? Well, we
got at least this public commentary is
we got this idea that, hey, all right,
no hard feelings. He's over it. That's a
big deal. Uh, so no hard feelings, big
deal. Hopefully this translates into no
big punishments for Elon, Tesla, SpaceX.
Again, you know, I've got exposure to
Tesla. I've got exposure to SpaceX uh
through our VC company. Like these we we
maybe I'm a little biased here. Uh but I
want to look at these things from a
realistic point of view. You there could
still be some punishment here. Like Elon
kind of crossed Trump here. Now, it's
good that Elon apologized this morning
on Twitter. Really on X. really good
that he apologized. Really good that
he's sort of walking back the attacks
because it would just be a death
sentence to keep the attacks going,
especially for somebody as as you know
with the reach that Elon has. You know,
it's one thing if if you know I yap, I
don't have the reach that Elon does,
right? Uh but that this is this is a
very interesting response from Trump.
So, I I think there's more resentment
from Trump here. And even though he's
saying that like, hey, you know, it's
not a priority to reconcile, but maybe
we could patch things up. Even though
that's being said, I don't I really
think when Trump says it's not a
priority, I think Trump's done with him.
Think, you know, once you cross Trump,
it's kind of hard to come back, but who
knows? You know, m maybe over time, time
will heal the wound, but I think Elon's
probably going to be in a penalty box
for at least the next year or so.
Interesting to hear Donald Trump's
reaction though. Curious also to see
what um what some of your comments were.
Some some of you right here, somebody
says, "I think the whole Trump Elon
upset was planned by both." I don't
know. I mean, maybe I I know that's that
is a thought that's out there that this
was sort of planned and staged for
Elon's exit. It just it felt like too
much of a lowblow and it kind of it was
characteristic of what Elon would do.
So,
I don't know about that. Like this
morning, I think it I think it was in
our course member live stream. We were
talking about how if Elon selected his
MMO RPG character of like his real life
self, he basically took like social EQ
and dialed it down to zero. So he'd have
more points to put into like innovation
genius. And so his character is like
really unbalanced, like strong on one
end, but like really flawed on the
other, you know? Uh so I I I don't know
about that. Somebody else says, "You see
it in his jaw." Yeah. Somebody else
says, Brandon, what's up, man? Says,
"Uh, what drugs do they claim Elon
took?" Uh, well, there there are claims
that Elon flies around with a pill box
of 20 different pills, uh, aderall,
ecstasy, mushroom, psychedelic
mushrooms, uh, ketamine, uh, you know,
various
different drugs. Elon also describes
himself, you know, obviously denying
some of these more recent reports
because it's not a good look, but Elon
also talks about being, you know,
depressed. Uh, I mean, if you think
about it, sure, he has a lot of kids,
but he's not home with his kids. You
know, he's he's not like I think he he,
you know, kind of carries around XAI to
sort of at least have some feeling of
belonging and being a father. But I
think Elon, you know, from his childhood
has kind of always been an outcast and
is looking for that feeling of belonging
to some form of community and like the
Doge hit, like Doge having a smaller
impact than he had hoped. Uh, and now
kind of getting ostracized from the
White House, I think it hits hard. So I
think Trump is actually right when he
says, "I think Elon feels very bad." I
totally agree with that. Some people say
math, I don't know about that. Uh but uh
so basically the same drugs Diddy
accused of using you know I haven't paid
much attention to the uh uh uh to the
Diddy thing. Somebody says I never saw
Elon use ketamine. Just an internet
rumor. Well no that's false. Elon has
actually himself said that he's used
ketamine. Now his argument and he's
obviously going to downplay this but he
says he might use ketamine you know once
or twice every two or three weeks.
That's his line. Other people say that
his ketamine dose has kind of gotten out
of hand lately. And while maybe that was
true in the past, he's ramped up his
ketamine use, which of course he has
denied. So, but he himself has agreed
that he does use ketamine. That's that's
very clear. Uh so, let's be clear about
that. But hey, you know, they didn't
find baggies of cocaine in the White
House this time, so you know, maybe it's
just not that bad. Sorry. You always got
to bring up Hunter Biden, right? Wait,
who says it was Hunters? Hey, quick
reminder. If you want to earn a 5% yield
plus all of the upside in my real estate
