00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,400
welcome to the Don Lemon show everyone
3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,919
we're still here in a minute I'm going
4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,000
to bring you my conversation with Elon
5
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:15,960
Musk the one that everyone is talking
6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,079
about but first let me tell you a bit
7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,039
about the show contrary to what you
8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,599
might have heard we weren't cancelled by
9
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:24,400
X yes after months of begging me wooing
10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,439
me to offer some exclusive content on
11
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:30,000
his platform Elon Musk decided to scrap
12
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:32,640
the deal but our plan is and always has
13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,359
has been to release this show everywhere
14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,280
on YouTube on Spotify on iHeart radio
15
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:41,519
just about any place you stream content
16
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,280
now for my conversation with Elon as
17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,160
with all my interviews no restrictions
18
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,520
no ground rules nothing off limits or
19
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,878
out of bounds that is until the
20
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,840
interview ended so what went
21
00:00:50,878 --> 00:00:55,799
wrong I don't know but my hope is that
22
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,559
you learned something about both Elon
23
00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:59,279
and me two people who come from
24
00:00:57,558 --> 00:01:02,159
completely different Vantage points on
25
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,560
almost every single issue and I
26
00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:06,798
challenge you Elon to watch the whole
27
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:10,159
interview and tell the world why this
28
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,840
isn't what you claim you want on
29
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,240
X thank you for inviting us here you're
30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,400
welcome Tesla headquarters I it's I'm
31
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:19,039
surprised how big it is I've never seen
32
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,040
it yeah it's about three times the size
33
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,799
of the Pentagon yeah we built it in 16
34
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,960
months it's the fastest construction
35
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:27,439
project in the United States since uh
36
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,919
World War II so I'm here you know as you
37
00:01:27,438 --> 00:01:31,719
know I'm on the platform because you are
38
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,478
you say you're a free speech absolutist
39
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:37,158
right and there no conditions uh
40
00:01:33,478 --> 00:01:39,039
yeah free speech is as as much as
41
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:41,479
possible within the bounds the law yeah
42
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,759
so the reason I'm saying that is because
43
00:01:41,478 --> 00:01:44,319
there are no conditions on this
44
00:01:42,759 --> 00:01:45,879
interview you said that you know we
45
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,519
speak to you for an hour I don't like
46
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,399
sound bite so I welcome that so let's
47
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:51,798
get into it so we're here in Austin
48
00:01:49,399 --> 00:01:54,000
South by Southwest is going on we're at
49
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:56,118
the Tesla headquarters you are in the
50
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,920
process of moving SpaceX here I
51
00:01:56,118 --> 00:02:04,640
understand no uh so uh space has a a
52
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,519
massive uh facility in south Texas where
53
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:12,759
we build and launch Starship and then we
54
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:15,639
we have um an bash near Austin we uh are
55
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:19,000
about to start production at a a
56
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,799
stalling uh a large Starling Factory for
57
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
stalling terminals but it's uh but we're
58
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,920
not shutting down any facilities in
59
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,560
California um listen we are here as part
60
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,238
of a launch of a news interview show
61
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,840
that is going to be on x.com uh it's
62
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:33,878
coming as a media industry as you know
63
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,920
is going through a whole lot of changes
64
00:02:33,878 --> 00:02:38,000
X has also been affected by that where
65
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,759
do you see xcom's role in the future of
66
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,280
news and journalism
67
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:46,919
Elon well I I think the I see the the X
68
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,439
as uh it's it's already the number one
69
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,839
source of news uh in the world so it is
70
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:54,199
number one uh the number one way that
71
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,360
people actually are informed about any
72
00:02:54,199 --> 00:03:00,518
kind of news meaning realtime events is
73
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,959
uh on the X platform forly Twitter um
74
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:04,080
there's there's nothing even close for
75
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:07,598
realtime news
76
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,719
so um we also want to expand upon that
77
00:03:07,598 --> 00:03:11,959
um and we've we have done so with the
78
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:13,759
long form content so instead of just
79
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:15,680

all what do you mean by that well just
99
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:04,400
mean that uh we want to make sure that
100
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:06,399
there are a wide variety of viewpoints
101
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,000
that it's uh you know we obviously have
102
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:12,519
for example tug cson who uh most people
103
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,759
will view as being on the right um and
104
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:16,519
uh you know that's that's a quite quite
105
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:19,159
a prominent name on the right we want to
106
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:21,720
have uh prominent names on the left as
107
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,840
well uh to provide uh different views of
108
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,680
points of view uh as well as Centrist
109
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,439
just basically a wide range of
110
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,759
viewpoints on the platforms so users can
111
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:33,240
uh hear different opinions uh you they
112
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:34,800
can hear you know what is what's your
113
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,000
point of view what's s's point of view
114
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,960
and make and you know and people can
115
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,399
make their own decision about what they
116
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:42,000
what they believe you didn't mean that
117
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,319
I'm on the left did you think that I
118
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,079
thought you were on the left but I don't
119
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,478
know I used well let's just say I don't
120
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:48,639
know what the left is or the right is
121
00:04:46,478 --> 00:04:51,478
frankly these days because things can be
122
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:53,720
quite polarized but you seem my
123
00:04:51,478 --> 00:04:55,800
impression was that you're you're you're
124
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,080
be more likely to be described as on the
125
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,319
left than the right
126
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:02,599
uh I might I might sense as you're sort
127
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:05,079
of Center left I don't know you tell me
128
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:09,199
well did you ever watch me on CNN or did
129
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:12,038
you watch I saw I saw say yeah yeah not
130
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,759
I I've saw segments yeah me CNN is
131
00:05:12,038 --> 00:05:16,038
generally considered left yeah why do
132
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,280
you say
133
00:05:16,038 --> 00:05:19,959
that why do I say CNN is generally
134
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:24,559
considered
135
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:27,439
left uh I think if if you look at any
136
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,560
sort of media survey of what is on the
137
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,519
left or right I think they would say
138
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,800
like for example Fox is is on the right
139
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:35,279
and CNN is on the left
140
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,879
yeah so that's what is it am I missing
141
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,879
something here okay are you missing
142
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:43,279
something I don't know I I think that
143
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:46,079
what you when I read that I said like
144
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,679
many uh of my critics or detractors they
145
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:49,439
never really watched me on CNN they just
146
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,478
saw the clips of me either on social
147
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:53,839
media or maybe on Fox news or
148
00:05:51,478 --> 00:05:55,159
conservative media where it's sort of a
149
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,839
where I become a character or a
150
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,919
caricature of what I actually am and
151
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,318
it's taken out of context uh sure well
152
00:05:58,918 --> 00:06:02,758
how would you describe yourself yourself
153
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:05,439
um I would describe myself as someone
154
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:07,840
who is I I I am independent in my
155
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:10,120
thinking and I vote for People based on
156
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,959
the issues and how I feel about it not
157
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,879
necessarily because uh of political
158
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:16,279
leaning of some sort well I agree with
159
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:19,000
that approach I think that's generally
160
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:22,239
how yeah how people should uh you know
161
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,759
take things which is I mean there there
162
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,160
are a whole sort of set of issues which
163
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,840
are sort of somewhat arbitrarily
164
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,560
bucketed into right or left um but I
165
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,318
think most I think most citizens
166
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,720
uh would think that they would agree
167
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,280
with some things on the left but not
168
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,680
everything or agree on some things on
169
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:41,879
the right but not everything um so uh
170
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,240
that's that's what um I think most
171
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:46,639
people will feel I guess how much longer
172
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,879
maybe maybe the answer is forever how
173
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:50,918
much longer are we going to have to call
174
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:53,159
it the formally known as Twitter I mean
175
00:06:50,918 --> 00:06:55,839
even Prince went back to prince instead
176
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,160
of is it always going to be X it's
177
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,839
definitely always going to be X so X is
178
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,599
going through some changes is said a lot
179
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,439
um of media companies are going through
180
00:07:01,598 --> 00:07:05,800
some changes it's it you're in charge of
181
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:06,879
an incredible platform Elon how do you
182
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,199
feel that's
183
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:12,960
going I think it's going pretty well so
184
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:14,160
far um we're seeing record usage um
185
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:17,000
we've added a tremendous amount of
186
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,680
functionality I mentioned the uh that
187
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,038
you know it used be that you can only do
188
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,160
short you know text and maybe a a
189
00:07:21,038 --> 00:07:24,519
picture or something like that short
190
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,879
video um but now you can do long form
191
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:29,240
text long form video uh We've added
192
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:30,879
audio video calling uh so you can not
193
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,639
not just just do text DMS you do order
194
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:36,560
video calling um we've improved the
195
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:39,240
algorithm I think significantly um and
196
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,038
um made the system faster and better and
197
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,160
best reflected in the increased usage so
198
00:07:42,038 --> 00:07:44,759
let's talk about that because you said
199
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,960
you wanted all points of view right it's
200
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:49,120
it's a digital Town Square for all yeah
201
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:51,038
it's the the the platform has kind of
202
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,680
picked up where conservative media some
203
00:07:51,038 --> 00:07:55,158
conservative media has left off um that
204
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,918
moving to the right increasingly
205
00:07:55,158 --> 00:07:58,719
becoming part of a conservative dialogue
206
00:07:56,918 --> 00:08:00,799
and sometimes even conspiracy theories
207
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,960
right there was an article recently
208
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,400
written about you saying that you Donald
209
00:08:02,959 --> 00:08:09,680
Trump and X were the most important um
210
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:12,198
people uh or places or whatever icons
211
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,360
when it comes to the magga movement do
212
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:15,120
you agree with that how do you feel
213
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,360
about that uh well I mean there are
214
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,399
nonsense articles written all the time
215
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,319
and I certainly wouldn't agree with that
216
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:23,158
one I put in the nonsense category so uh
217
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:27,319
the the the objective fact of the matter
218
00:08:23,158 --> 00:08:31,279
in my opinion was that um uh old Twitter
219
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:33,278
was fundamentally a of the the farle As
220
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:34,958
and that was really I think a lot of it
221
00:08:33,278 --> 00:08:38,559
was due to being located in San
222
00:08:34,958 --> 00:08:41,119
Francisco Bley um and so uh it wanted to
223
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,239
essentially project the SF Bley uh
224
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:48,560
political Dogma worldwide you think it
225
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:50,480
was far left yes I do I I used to get I
226
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,479
actually got off the platform because I
227
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,240
would get so much hate tweets when it it
228
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,079
was called in so much hate tweets and
229
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,959
and just Guff from right-wing conspiracy
230
00:08:59,078 --> 00:09:04,439
theorists being called everything from
231
00:09:00,958 --> 00:09:06,518
you know [ __ ] to sure it's the internet
232
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,200
you know people will do I I've been
233
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:10,839
called every name times a thousand yeah
234
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,040
do you agree that it's right now and
235
00:09:10,839 --> 00:09:14,360
that even it's moved into sort of magal
236
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:17,000
land conspiracy theory I don't I
237
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:20,440
certainly don't think it's right um the
238
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,480
the old school Twitter uh suspended and
239
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,079
suppressed uh accounts that you'd call
240
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,519
on the right 10 times more they did An
241
00:09:24,078 --> 00:09:27,519
accounts on the left and even when they
242
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:28,799
did suspend an account on the left uh it
243
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:30,519
was because of arguments between two
244
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:32,759
people on the left
245
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:35,759
uh the political donations of old
246
00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:38,078
Twitter were 99% Democrat does that
247
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:40,600
sound left red leftwing or rightwing to
248
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:42,439
you the Twitter donations yes you know
249
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,120
when they look at donations by from a
250
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,600
company if a company donates n literally
251
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,200
99% of all donations are to Democrats
252
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,680
does that strike you as a left leaning
253
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800
or a right leaning you mean the company
254
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,958
donated I understand what you're saying
255
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:57,278
what I'm trying to tell you is that uh
256
00:09:54,958 --> 00:10:00,838
Twitter employees people at Twitter
257
00:09:57,278 --> 00:10:02,000
their political donations were 99%
258
00:10:00,839 --> 00:10:05,800
literally
259
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,120
99% uh to Democrats that's obviously an
260
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:10,719
extremely left-leaning group my question
261
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,320
to leading into this is about magga you
262
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,839
and speaking of magga you recently met
263
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:18,320
with Donald Trump in Florida what did
264
00:10:14,839 --> 00:10:19,880
you guys talk about uh I was at a dinner
265
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,240
I not dinner I was at a breakfast at a
266
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:23,078
friend's place and Donald Trump came by
267
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,680
that's
268
00:10:23,078 --> 00:10:29,120
it so you didn't go there to meet him I
269
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,039
no I went to a a a friend of mine's
270
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,799
house
271
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:34,799
uh and said Donald Trump's coming by for
272
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:39,519
breakfast is that uh just so you know
273
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:39,519
like okay fine what did you discuss i'
274
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:46,278
I um let's just say uh he did most of
275
00:10:43,078 --> 00:10:48,519
the talking
276
00:10:46,278 --> 00:10:51,039
what the normal things he says there was
277
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:56,799
nothing particularly groundbreaking on
278
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:59,838
you but uh he you know
279
00:10:56,799 --> 00:11:01,679
uh president Trump likes to talk
280
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:04,000
and so he
281
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,439
talked I I don't call him saying
282
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,039
anything that he hasn't said publicly uh
283
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,600
and that was it was just a breakfast did
284
00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:13,039
he ask you for money he didn't did he
285
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,278
ask you for a donation no he didn't you
286
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:17,519
said you're not going to donate to any
287
00:11:14,278 --> 00:11:17,519
candidate that's correct why
288
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:21,679
not I think
289
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,759
uh while I I'll voice my opinion um I
290
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:34,958
think uh I don't want to I don't want to
291
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:38,200
put a thumb on the scale monetarily that
292
00:11:34,958 --> 00:11:41,078
is you know significant are you going to
293
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,800
loan him money to help pay his bills no
294
00:11:41,078 --> 00:11:46,078
not at all pay his legal bills I'm not
295
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:47,639
I'm not paying paying his legal bills in
296
00:11:46,078 --> 00:11:48,958
any way shape or form and he did not ask
297
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:50,278
you for money and he did not ask me for
298
00:11:48,958 --> 00:11:52,759
money are you going to so you're not
299
00:11:50,278 --> 00:11:55,519
going to endorse a candidate I may in
300
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:58,039
the final stretch endorse the candidate
301
00:11:55,519 --> 00:12:01,078
uh but I don't know yet uh I want
302
00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:03,519
to make make a considered decision uh
303
00:12:01,078 --> 00:12:05,359
before the election uh and if I do
304
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:07,720
decide to endorse a candidate then I
305
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,039
will explain exactly why are you leaning
306
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,800
towards anyone no you're not leaning
307
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:14,958
towards anyone because you've been I'm
308
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:18,599
leaning leaning away from Biden you're
309
00:12:14,958 --> 00:12:20,198
leaning I've made no secret of that are
310
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,199
you concerned about losing your security
311
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:25,240
clar Clarance if Biden is reelected does
312
00:12:22,198 --> 00:12:27,879
that have anything to do with it
313
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,759
no you are leaning away from Biden but
314
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:31,519
you're not going to endorse anyone it
315
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:34,319
seems like an endorsement of President
316
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:36,360
Trump because there are only two people
317
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,040
who are running now Nikki Haley is out I
318
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,759
mean a lot can happen between now and
319
00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:44,078
the election so we'll see who in their
320
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:48,480
final analysis uh are the choices for
321
00:12:44,078 --> 00:12:51,479
president um and at that point I may or
322
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,759
may not endorse uh one of the candidates
323
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:56,879
if I do I will provide a very uh detel
324
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:59,198
explanation of why I endorsing one or
325
00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:01,159
the other at that point might you
326
00:12:59,198 --> 00:13:04,679
contribute or
327
00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:06,719
donate uh I I think it's unlikely so you
328
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,679
have been posting up a storm as you
329
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,278
always do in the past couple weeks about
330
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,879
the redesign of the Tesla uh roster
331
00:13:11,278 --> 00:13:15,240
coming at the end of this year are there
332
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:18,000
any kind of updates that you can talk
333
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,720
about that to expect from Flagship EV I
334
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,360
mean Tesla's stock is down the last 6
335
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,839
months what's next for the
336
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,480
company you know the stocks go up and
337
00:13:24,839 --> 00:13:30,680
down but what really matters is are we
338
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:33,879
making and delivering uh uh great
339
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:36,638
products the Tesla products are um
340
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:38,559
outstanding uh last year the model Tesla
341
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:40,720
Model y was the best selling uh car of
342
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,638
any kind in the world so it was about 1
343
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,560
1.2 million units it was the best
344
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:46,399
selling car despite being I think around
345
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:50,039
50% more expensive than the next
346
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:53,559
bestselling vehicle um of any kind not
347
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:55,240
just electric so um I think that's a
348
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:59,518
testament to the incredible work of the
349
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:01,720
Tesla team um and uh we launch the Cyber
350
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:05,919
truck obviously that's uh being very
351
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:09,320
well received um we have uh I think over
352
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:11,278
a million orders for the Cyber truck um
353
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,600
so
354
00:14:11,278 --> 00:14:15,078
uh it's it's a really special product
355
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,440
that is that I think the Cyber truck is
356
00:14:15,078 --> 00:14:18,758
one of those part that Products that
357
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,880
come comes along really once
358
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:23,519
in several years maybe once a decade
359
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:27,320
cyber Tru is a once a decade product it
360
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:30,519
is so uh special and and I think it's
361
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,360
our best product um so but everyone
362
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:34,600
improves over time I mean Apple I
363
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,360
thought my phone was here but Apple you
364
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,079
know the phone got better over time that
365
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,440
I'm sure the your your cars will get
366
00:14:38,078 --> 00:14:41,559
better over time you have been tweeting
367
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,240
about the the updates in in the roosters
368
00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:45,758
there something that we should you did
369
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,639
mention the roaders so um like I don't
370
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:48,680
want to give
371
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,959
away you know much more than what I've
372
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:53,799
said uh publicly except that the
373
00:14:50,958 --> 00:14:56,879
Roadster will be uh a collaboration
374
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:59,639
between SpaceX and Tesla so you know you
375
00:14:56,879 --> 00:15:01,159
can expect some rockety stuff there a
376
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:04,159
flying
377
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:04,159
car
378
00:15:08,159 --> 00:15:13,278
maybe it's not out of the question go on
379
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,759
no I I got to I got to reserve the cool
380
00:15:13,278 --> 00:15:17,278
stuff for the you know when we actually
381
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,240
Avail it but it's it's it's going to
382
00:15:17,278 --> 00:15:20,600
it's going to be really cool it's going
383
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,839
to have um it's going to have some
384
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,120
rocket technology in it um I think the
385
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:26,839
really the only way to do something
386
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,600
that's cooler than the Cyber truck is is
387
00:15:26,839 --> 00:15:32,160
to combine the
388
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,000
SpaceX and and and and Tesla technology
389
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:34,958
to create something that's not even
390
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,679
really a
391
00:15:34,958 --> 00:15:41,198
car then what would it be something
392
00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:44,479
that's never existed before I'm getting
393
00:15:41,198 --> 00:15:46,599
Jetson's Vibes totally Jetson's Vibes
394
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,879
it'll and the W may not be aware like
395
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,319
some things that I have said publicly is
396
00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:54,039
that it'll do 0 to 60 in under 1 second
397
00:15:50,318 --> 00:15:58,679
so um that's by far faster than any uh
398
00:15:54,039 --> 00:16:00,838
you know sports car that that exists um
399
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:04,159
and um and that's not even the most
400
00:16:00,839 --> 00:16:06,519
exciting thing about it does it have
401
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:08,480
wings no it does it does not have big
402
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:10,959
wings cuz big wings would be on wheel on
403
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:14,680
the road does it have propellers it does
404
00:16:10,958 --> 00:16:16,599
not have propellers it has wheels does
405
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:19,399
have wheels
406
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,560
okay Road for 20 questions it has it
407
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:24,879
does it have a steering
408
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:28,559
wheel not exactly what is
409
00:16:24,879 --> 00:16:29,439
it well it'll have it'll have a drive by
410
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:31,679
wire
411
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,759
uh yoke essentially like
412
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:36,638
a kind of like the way aircraft are
413
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,879
modern jets are controlled and do you
414
00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:41,278
think it's the way of the future that
415
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:42,519
everyone will follow your lead on this I
416
00:16:41,278 --> 00:16:44,639
don't think anyone will ever make
417
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:46,360
anything like the uh the the road
418
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:49,480
through that that we're going to make
419
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,600
let's talk now about um SpaceX Tesla you
420
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,278
got a lot of lawsuits you've got x.com

445
00:17:54,519 --> 00:17:59,119
not asking you anything that anyone else

hasn't asked you about um your
447
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,319
controversial stuff that you tweet you
448
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:04,839
post a lot of controversial stuff is
449
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:07,839
that considered blowing off
450
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:07,839
steam
451
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:15,199
um well I I guess I do en enjoy using
452
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:18,319
the platform I mean I do call um the
453
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:21,960
xplatform the the PVP or player versus
454
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:24,918
player uh platform um so in video games
455
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:28,240
there's uh player versus like
456
00:18:24,919 --> 00:18:30,080
environment um where you're not playing
457
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,599
against other people people um and then
458
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:32,720
there's PVP which is like hardcore
459
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:35,480
you're actually playing against other
460
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,159
people and uh but that's blowing off
461
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,200
steene for
462
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:43,039
you yeah yes it is to some degree not
463
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:47,000
always I mean obviously I use it for uh
464
00:18:43,038 --> 00:18:50,319
to post jokes to post uh you
465
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,279
know sometimes trivia uh sometimes
466
00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:54,960
things that are of great importance uh
467
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:57,319
so you do a lot of it at night like late
468
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,558
at night so when you're doing this are
469
00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:01,918
you are you sober when you do it almost
470
00:19:00,558 --> 00:19:04,359
always you under the influence of
471
00:19:01,919 --> 00:19:09,159
anything uh no I don't I don't drink I
472
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:11,038
don't really no I no so you not no drink
473
00:19:09,159 --> 00:19:13,240
no smoke no nothing I mean you smoke pot
474
00:19:11,038 --> 00:19:14,519
with Rogan I had one puff yeah I think
475
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,000
anyone who smokes pot can tell I don't
476
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:18,279
know how to how to smoke PLT but you've
477
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,359
admitted that you've had you have a kety
478
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,079
prescription yeah yeah yeah what's that
479
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,079
for well I mean it's pretty private to
480
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:27,038
ask somebody about a medical
481
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:29,319
prescription you know um but uh it's I
482
00:19:27,038 --> 00:19:31,720
think it's something I'd say like uh
483
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:35,399
there are times when I have
484
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:38,640
um sort of
485
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,559
uh I don't know like negative chemical
486
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,600
state in my in my brain uh like
487
00:19:40,558 --> 00:19:45,759
depression I guess you know is or or or
488
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:48,959
like depression that's not linked to any
489
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:51,359
negative views um and and and then uh
490
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,440
kemy is helpful for uh getting you
491
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,119
getting one outs out of a negative frame
492
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,600
of
493
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:59,000
mind well listen I I in fact I generally
494
00:19:57,599 --> 00:20:01,439
obviously I'm not a doctor but I would
495
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,200
say uh if someone has depression issues
496
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,440
they should consider talking to the
497
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,960
doctor about camine instead of ssris
498
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:11,798
listen I I think that um ketamine uh and
499
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,798
drug therapy is uh increasingly becoming
500
00:20:11,798 --> 00:20:15,000
more in the mainstream yeah do you think
501
00:20:13,798 --> 00:20:17,558
that you're doing it under a doctor's
502
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,079
care right yeah yeah literally
503
00:20:17,558 --> 00:20:21,240
prescription from an actual a real
504
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:23,319
doctor not like you know yeah but do you
505
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,759
do you feel like you ever abuse it I
506
00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:27,558
don't think so if use too much Academy
507
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:29,359
and you can't really get work done so I
508
00:20:27,558 --> 00:20:31,119
have a lot of work
509
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,158
so I'm I'm typically putting in like you
510
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,639
know 16 hour days that's normal for me
511
00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:38,400
and it's it's it's rare for me to even
512
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,480
take off a weekend day so I don't really
513
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,360
have like you know a situation where I
514
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,519
can be not mentally acute for an an
515
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,759
extented period of time like I can't I
516
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:49,918
can't really get wasted with when CU I
517
00:20:47,759 --> 00:20:53,119
can't get my work done so how often do
518
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:56,640
you take it
519
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,639
um well it'd be like a small amount once
520
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,840
every other week or something like that
521
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,038
but there's I mean there's not on the
522
00:20:59,839 --> 00:21:04,558
bottle where it says take this dose this
523
00:21:02,038 --> 00:21:07,319
many times a week or whatever if it's
524
00:21:04,558 --> 00:21:09,119
dose I there are several weeks to go by
525
00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:10,519
where I don't use it you don't use it
526
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,199
yeah I think it's like I said I think
527
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:14,720
the the what I find K is if you if you
528
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,278
like literally like a chemical state in
529
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:20,919
your brain that you can't you can't just
530
00:21:17,278 --> 00:21:23,079
think yourself out of then uh ketamine
531
00:21:20,919 --> 00:21:26,278
can is helpful for getting you out of a
532
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:27,879
depressive mind State you suffer from
533
00:21:26,278 --> 00:21:29,200
depression or you have a depressive mind
534
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,120
State and I asked is someone who has
535
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,080
suffered from ref first I wouldn't say
536
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,558
that I
537
00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:36,839
I I wouldn't say that I have like a a
538
00:21:34,558 --> 00:21:38,960
case of like extended depression um it's
539
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:40,480
just once in a while I get into a a
540
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,278
negative sort of chemical mind State
541
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:45,519
once in a while it's not a not a common
542
00:21:43,278 --> 00:21:47,240
thing um but once in a while it this
543
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:51,558
happen where do you think that comes
544
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:53,679
from I think it's just genetic basically
545
00:21:51,558 --> 00:21:56,440
you think it's just genetic history I
546
00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:56,440
think so
547
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,960
um yeah I mean some people like just
548
00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:03,558
wired wired to be happy all the time uh
549
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,798
some are unfortunately wired to be sad a
550
00:22:03,558 --> 00:22:09,798
lot of the time um and in my case uh I'm
551
00:22:06,798 --> 00:22:12,079
you know I'm generally pretty pretty
552
00:22:09,798 --> 00:22:14,839
positive and optimistic uh but once in a
553
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:18,119
while uh I don't know what happens there
554
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:19,599
some uh like I said I think chemical
555
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,759
ties to your brain once in a while it's
556
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:26,119
like a brain
557
00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:27,798
storm yeah do you ever worry that this
558
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,599
may get in the way of your government
559
00:22:27,798 --> 00:22:32,038
contracts and clear es and also and Wall
560
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:34,959
Street as
561
00:22:32,038 --> 00:22:38,079
well well from a standpoint of Wall
562
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:41,480
Street uh what matters is uh
563
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:45,439
execution you know uh are you building
564
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,599
value for investors um Tesla is worth
565
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,120
about as much as the rest of the car
566
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:53,199
industry combined from nothing so I you
567
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,759
know that's pretty good um as I
568
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,919
mentioned we we had the best selling car
569
00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:59,278
on Earth last year um so for for
570
00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:00,919
investors point if there is something
571
00:22:59,278 --> 00:23:03,880
I'm taking I should keep taking
572
00:23:00,919 --> 00:23:06,320
it have you you talk about your ketamine
573
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,240
use and depression have you you also
574
00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:11,839
have said and the reason I I should say
575
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:14,480
like like the reason I mentioned uh the
576
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:16,038
cemy prescription on the xplatform was
577
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,839
because I thought maybe this is
578
00:23:16,038 --> 00:23:19,558
something that could help other people
579
00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:20,959
that's why I mentioned it yeah can we
580
00:23:19,558 --> 00:23:23,000
talk about the great replacement Theory
581
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,440
now um some of the things that you post
582
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359
a great replacement Theory you claim
583
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,720
that Democrats President Biden's
584
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,558
immigration plan to open up the Border
585
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,519
you said that there the president is
586
00:23:29,558 --> 00:23:33,730
getting and Democrats are doing it to
587
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:35,000
get more votes
588
00:23:33,730 --> 00:23:37,839
[Music]
589
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,200
um but undocumented immigrants cannot
590
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:42,839
vote in federal elections so how is that
591
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,600
possible right um well you're conflating
592
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:48,038
two things one is great replacement
593
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:49,599
Theory uh the other is which I I don't
594
00:23:48,038 --> 00:23:53,038
subscribe to that I'm simply saying that
595
00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:55,558
there is an incentive here uh if uh
596
00:23:53,038 --> 00:23:57,480
legal immigrants wish I think have a a
597
00:23:55,558 --> 00:23:59,158
very strong bias to at least everything
598
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,558
I've read it's very strong wise to vot
599
00:23:59,159 --> 00:24:03,760
Democrat um the more more that come into
600
00:24:02,558 --> 00:24:06,759
the country the more they're likely to
601
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:10,599
vote in that direction but it is in my
602
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:14,919
view uh a simple incentive to increase
603
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:17,000
uh voters to Democrat voters um and yeah
604
00:24:14,919 --> 00:24:19,640
so question is like how so there's
605
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,440
there's a few there's a few ways that
606
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,919
this works one is that when the census
607
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,120
is done uh the census is based on all
608
00:24:24,919 --> 00:24:29,159
all people in an area whether they are
609
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:32,558
CI citizens or not
610
00:24:29,159 --> 00:24:35,360
so uh if there are a concentration of
611
00:24:32,558 --> 00:24:38,480
uh people who came here illegally in in
612
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,959
a in a particular state or uh any
613
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,200
particular state that state will
614
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,720
actually then get uh an increased number
615
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,759
of House
616
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,600
Seats so the the house seat
617
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:49,599
apportionment is proportionate to the
618
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:53,079
number of people not the number of
619
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:55,240
citizens so the the the legals
620
00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:59,398
overwhelmingly go to places like
621
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,240
California New York um and the
622
00:24:59,398 --> 00:25:02,879
if you just look at the the math if if
623
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,038
if you look at the apportionment with
624
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,679
and without illegals I believe
625
00:25:05,038 --> 00:25:07,879
California would lose I believe I
626
00:25:06,679 --> 00:25:10,480
believe the blue State there would be a
627
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,039
net loss of blue states of approximately
628
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,599
20 seats in the
629
00:25:13,038 --> 00:25:17,798
house now this also applies to the the
630
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:19,519
Electoral College so you say like well
631
00:25:17,798 --> 00:25:21,879
this also applies to to electing the
632
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:24,759
president because the the same the
633
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,480
electoral votes are also done by by
634
00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:28,440
apportionment the same way that house
635
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,200
seats are done but the reason Elan the
636
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,240
electoral college is in place is to to
637
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,000
balance that so that that doesn't happen
638
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,759
so what you're saying about it is the
639
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,558
exact opposite of the reason why the the
640
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:40,079
Electoral College is there the Electoral
641
00:25:38,558 --> 00:25:44,000
College at this
642
00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:47,199
point at this point in in our history
643
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,759
gives people who are in smaller States
644
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,240
and red States much more of an influence
645
00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:52,599
over our elections than people who are
646
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,880
in blue States and the majority of the
647
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:55,398
people in this country that's what the
648
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,080
Electoral College does it actually does
649
00:25:55,398 --> 00:25:58,678
the exact opposite of what you're saying
650
00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:00,278
it protects people who are smaller
651
00:25:58,679 --> 00:26:03,000
States and protects people who are in
652
00:26:00,278 --> 00:26:04,558
red States well um red States because
653
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,119
they tend to be smaller and less
654
00:26:04,558 --> 00:26:09,158
populous I think that that's that's
655
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,439
statement is is uh what you said is is
656
00:26:09,159 --> 00:26:14,880
true but what I said is also true uh
657
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,440
which is that uh if if as is the case a
658
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,960
disproportionate number of legal
659
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,038
immigrants go to Blue States they
660
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,960
amplify the effect of a of a blue state
661
00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:25,919
boat and the math as I understand it you
662
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,360
can research this obviously very easily
663
00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:30,880
on the it's like it's pretty straight
664
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,119
for to to research this but my
665
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,760
understanding is that there would be uh
666
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,519
that that the the Democrats would lose
667
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:39,879
approximately 20 seats in the house uh
668
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:42,278
if illegals were not counted in census
669
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,399
and that's also 20 less electoral votes
670
00:26:42,278 --> 00:26:48,319
for president so legals absolutely do
671
00:26:45,398 --> 00:26:50,678
affect the uh who controls uh the house
672
00:26:48,319 --> 00:26:52,918
of the house and who controls uh the
673
00:26:50,679 --> 00:26:55,600
presidency it does not affect uh the
674
00:26:52,919 --> 00:26:57,520
Senate yeah in blue States you're
675
00:26:55,599 --> 00:27:00,678
talking about I don't believe that your
676
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:02,319
information on on on uh that is right um
677
00:27:00,679 --> 00:27:03,640
so listen let's talk more about the
678
00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:05,879
great replacement because the first time
679
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,480
you did you posted on exit about this
680
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,559
Jewish conspiracy you ended up
681
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,798
apologizing I didn't call it a conspir I
682
00:27:09,558 --> 00:27:12,319
just said that there's a simple matter
683
00:27:10,798 --> 00:27:13,798
of incentives you don't need a
684
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:15,639
conspiracy when you have basic
685
00:27:13,798 --> 00:27:18,839
incentives in my view there's a basic
686
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:21,880
incentive there is fundamental uh that
687
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:24,119
uh for the Democrat Democratic party to
688
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,240
Foster and Usher in a large number of
689
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,879
legals and they and and and you don't
690
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,200
need a conspiracy in that case because
691
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,919
you have a very basic incentive you
692
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,558
could say I'm wrong about that incentive
693
00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:36,840
but that's my view I I'm not buying to I
694
00:27:34,558 --> 00:27:38,480
don't buying some great replacement
695
00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:42,000
Theory I'm simply saying there appears
696
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,880
to be a very clear incentive for uh
697
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,038
Democrats to have to maximize number of
698
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,278
illegals um because it helps them Inn
699
00:27:46,038 --> 00:27:50,558
election I'm talking about the great
700
00:27:48,278 --> 00:27:54,679
replacement theory is also part of a
701
00:27:50,558 --> 00:27:56,599
Jewish conspiracy theory and when you
702
00:27:54,679 --> 00:27:59,080
did the Tweet or you responded to the
703
00:27:56,599 --> 00:28:01,558
Tweet about that you ended up a oling
704
00:27:59,079 --> 00:28:03,240
and which I think is you know it's good
705
00:28:01,558 --> 00:28:06,278
that you end up apologizing you went to
706
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:09,399
awit with Ben Shapiro yeah so you said
707
00:28:06,278 --> 00:28:11,640
you learned your lesson what did you
708
00:28:09,398 --> 00:28:13,359
learn I said I learned my lesson you
709
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,399
said you learned your lesson when it
710
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,599
when you apologized and you said you
711
00:28:15,398 --> 00:28:20,678
went to alth you saw what what no I was
712
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:22,719
already already aware of of of of these
713
00:28:20,679 --> 00:28:25,679
things and the nature of my comment that
714
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,120
that really inflamed people um what I
715
00:28:25,679 --> 00:28:28,440
was what I was trying to say and I did
716
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:33,079
very quickly clarify this what I'm
717
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:35,919
saying is that uh um a number of uh
718
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:38,599
prominent uh Jewish philanthropists fund
719
00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:39,919
uh groups that they should really take a
720
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:41,798
closer look at funding because some of
721
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:45,159
the some of the groups they fund um I
722
00:28:41,798 --> 00:28:46,119
think are anti-semitic yeah do you
723
00:28:45,159 --> 00:28:48,039
understand the connection between the
724
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:49,158
two there one there's a connection
725
00:28:48,038 --> 00:28:50,440
between you said Democrats a great
726
00:28:49,159 --> 00:28:51,840
replacement Theory but when it comes to
727
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,320
the actual great replacement Theory
728
00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:54,480
originally was started about Jewish
729
00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:56,000
people as you said flooding in the
730
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,759
country and then now people are using
731
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,200
for Democrats saying the same thing
732
00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:02,319
about Democrats flooding my view it's a
733
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,960
simple matter of incentives I I I'm I'm
734
00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:08,879
I don't actually don't see an incentive
735
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:10,440
for uh Jewish people to want to have
736
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,880
that get legal immigration I don't I
737
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,440
don't think there is such an
738
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,200
incentive the great replacement theory
739
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,120
is a a Neo-Nazi Trope it's in the
740
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,720
Neo-Nazi Manifesto It's in the Turner
741
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:23,158
diary it's referenced by the Buffalo
742
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,600
Mass shooter uh and his Manifesto where
743
00:29:23,159 --> 00:29:27,720
10 people um black people were murdered
744
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:30,359
in Buffalo his actual title of the
745
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,839
Christ Church Shooters Manifesto 51
746
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:34,479
people in the Muslim Mosque were
747
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:36,158
murdered 23 people uh murdered in El
748
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,159
Paso by a shooter who used the same
749
00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:41,159
language that you use in that Manifesto
750
00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:43,000
when you say Hispanic invasion is that
751
00:29:41,159 --> 00:29:45,840
not I didn't say an Hispanic Invasion
752
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,000
and you tweeted you quoted a tweet that
753
00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:50,038
said that called it a Hispanic
754
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,480
Invasion if I quote something it doesn't
755
00:29:50,038 --> 00:29:53,798
mean I agree with anything ever the end
756
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,720
it it's is something that I want I think
757
00:29:53,798 --> 00:29:57,599
this is something wor people should
758
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,839
consider why would you quote something
759
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:01,439
that you didn't believe because anything
760
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:02,759
I quote is going to have a whole range
761
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,120
of statements doesn't mean I agree with
762
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:07,440
everything in it do you think if there
763
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:12,079
if if
764
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:14,320
you moderated yourself more if there was
765
00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:16,038
better content moderation on the
766
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:17,759
platform that you wouldn't have to
767
00:30:16,038 --> 00:30:19,480
answer these questions from reporters
768
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:21,319
about the great great replacement Theory
769
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,200
as it relates I have to question great
770
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:25,038
replacement Theory as it relates to
771
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,798
Jewish people do you think that I don't
772
00:30:25,038 --> 00:30:28,440
have to answer questions from reporters
773
00:30:26,798 --> 00:30:30,319
Don the only reason I've beening this is
774
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,840
because you're on the xplatform and you
775
00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:34,639
asked for it m otherwise I would not do
776
00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:36,038
inter with this interview so you don't
777
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,200
think you do you think that you wouldn't
778
00:30:36,038 --> 00:30:39,319
get in trouble or you wouldn't be
779
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,480
criticized for these things criz
780
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:44,119
possibly I could care less it you don't
781
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,159
you don't care no I don't care why not I
782
00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:47,918
don't think people should care what the
783
00:30:45,159 --> 00:30:49,320
media thinks about them they're terrible
784
00:30:47,919 --> 00:30:51,759
judges of
785
00:30:49,319 --> 00:30:54,038
character even someone who has one of
786
00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:55,679
the biggest social media and biggest
787
00:30:54,038 --> 00:30:56,798
information Platforms in the world you
788
00:30:55,679 --> 00:31:00,759
don't think you don't care you don't
789
00:30:56,798 --> 00:31:02,558
think that there's you have any x.com or
790
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,359
you have any responsibility to the truth
791
00:31:02,558 --> 00:31:05,759
or
792
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:06,959
moderating the platform you're
793
00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:09,000
conflating the truth with the with the
794
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,600
media and I think the media is uh not
795
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,119
truthful well not with just the the
796
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:14,278
media I mean just the truth in general I
797
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:16,518
care about the truth very much that's
798
00:31:14,278 --> 00:31:21,519
why we have for example commun Community
799
00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:24,200
notes on the gek system um where uh in
800
00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:25,960
order for Community note to surface and
801
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,000
uh provide corrective information about
802
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,558
what somebody posts and and my f s
803
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,480
equally subject to this my I've been
804
00:31:29,558 --> 00:31:35,119
been a community noted many times um the
805
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,759
in order for before Community notes a
806
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:39,518
surface uh people who have historically
807
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:41,519
disagreed must agree in order for a
808
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:43,519
community note to surface and all of the
809
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:44,960
code for Community notes is open source
810
00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:46,679
all of the data is open source so you
811
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,360
can completely recreate it from scratch
812
00:31:46,679 --> 00:31:50,880
the way to build trust is transparency I
813
00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:52,319
have noticed Community notes I think
814
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,159
that you are right about that I do think
815
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,599
Community notes are helpful I think any
816
00:31:54,159 --> 00:31:57,278
type of content moderation I do think
817
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,359
that's helpful you recently called
818
00:31:57,278 --> 00:32:02,759
content moderation though a digital
819
00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:04,678
chastity belt do you think that you you
820
00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:06,839
believe that X and you have some
821
00:32:04,679 --> 00:32:07,720
responsibility to moderate hate speech
822
00:32:06,839 --> 00:32:09,278
on the
823
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,679
platform I think we have a
824
00:32:09,278 --> 00:32:13,638
responsibility to adhere to the law and
825
00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:16,120
we have a responsibility to be
826
00:32:13,638 --> 00:32:18,479
transparent uh about when things are
827
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:22,678
shown why they're shown uh so we that's
828
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:24,960
why we uh open source our algorithm um
829
00:32:22,679 --> 00:32:26,639
the I think once you start getting going
830
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,200
beyond the law now you're putting your
831
00:32:26,638 --> 00:32:29,439
thumb on the scale and we don't want to
832
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,639
put out that on the scale it doesn't
833
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,919
concern you that hate speech is gone
834
00:32:30,638 --> 00:32:33,439
research shows that it's gone up on the
835
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:34,639
platform since you took over that's not
836
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,960
concerning to you I believe that is
837
00:32:34,638 --> 00:32:38,199
false in fact the research that I've
838
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,759
seen it says it it went down the study
839
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,000
from The Institute of strategic dialogue
840
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:44,759
found that anti-semitic tweets doubled
841
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,359
from June 22 to February 2023 one study
842
00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:49,359
reported that as many as 86% of the
843
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:52,240
posts reported for hateful content
844
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:57,158
remained up after being reported hate
845
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:58,558
speech on the platform is up uh so what
846
00:32:57,159 --> 00:33:00,000
what they will typically do is they will
847
00:32:58,558 --> 00:33:02,119
count the number of posts but not count
848
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,440
the number of views so what matters is
849
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:08,759
was that uh post given high visibility
850
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:10,440
or what did like one person see it uh
851
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:13,119
and if you look at the number of views
852
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,840
of how how many how many times was ha
853
00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:17,879
content viewed on our platform it is
854
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:19,319
down substantially yeah well that's not
855
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,799
was what the study shows and you said
856
00:33:19,319 --> 00:33:22,398
you like transparency I'm going to show
857
00:33:20,798 --> 00:33:24,798
you this and and you can get a study
858
00:33:22,398 --> 00:33:26,038
that will tell you whatever you want but
859
00:33:24,798 --> 00:33:28,278
this is these are just a handful of
860
00:33:26,038 --> 00:33:31,079
extremely you look at those anti-Semitic
861
00:33:28,278 --> 00:33:32,919
and racist tropes and tweets and as of
862
00:33:31,079 --> 00:33:36,759
this morning they're still on
863
00:33:32,919 --> 00:33:39,240
X and from your own content policy these
864
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:41,038
posts should have been deleted so why
865
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,120
haven't they been deleted why are they
866
00:33:41,038 --> 00:33:46,319
still there did
867
00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:48,239
you uh we delete things if they are
868
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:50,519
illegal but these have been up there for
869
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:53,319
a while are they illegal they're not
870
00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:55,278
illegal but they're hateful and they can
871
00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:57,240
they can lead to
872
00:33:55,278 --> 00:33:58,480
violence as I just read to you the
873
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,880
shooters
874
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:04,839
you know in all of these mass shootings
875
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:06,159
attributed social media to radicalizing
876
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:08,199
so don you love censorship is what
877
00:34:06,159 --> 00:34:09,559
you're saying no I don't love censorship
878
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,078
then why why you ask I believe in
879
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:13,480
moderation but I I don't believe in
880
00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:15,560
censorship is a moderation is a
881
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,240
propaganda word for censorship but don't
882
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:19,719
you think free speech is one thing right
883
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,918
or not you know look if something's
884
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,000
illegal we're going to take it down if
885
00:34:21,918 --> 00:34:26,719
it's not illegal then we're putting out
886
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,519
them on the scale and we're beinging
887
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:32,598
censors you're putting your thumb on the
888
00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:35,719
scale for moderating hate speech I mean
889
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:37,480
you don't put out child porn pornography
890
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,878
that's not it's illegal that some people
891
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,039
would say that's considered censorship
892
00:34:38,878 --> 00:34:44,118
I'm just saying you no I literally D you
893
00:34:42,039 --> 00:34:47,000
I literally said if if something is
894
00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:49,480
legal okay we will obviously remove it
895
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,878
okay but if it is not
896
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,599
legal if the laws of this country were
897
00:34:51,878 --> 00:34:56,799
are put forward by the citizens we a
898
00:34:53,599 --> 00:34:59,200
democracy if those laws put in place uh
899
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:02,280
by the by the people we adhere to those
900
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:03,759
laws laws of others if you go beyond the
901
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,200
law you're actually going beyond the
902
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:10,240
will of the people okay agreed with the
903
00:35:07,199 --> 00:35:11,799
law but if you are doing something that
904
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,319
promotes hate and violence and
905
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,519
ultimately leads to killing you don't
906
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,960
feel there's you have any responsibility
907
00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:20,960
not to do that uh when when when the
908
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,159
people who are doing it admittedly are
909
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:27,119
saying articles all the time that lead
910
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:28,639
to to violence and killing um don't they
911
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:29,838
shouldn't they
912
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:31,799
like you're applying a differential
913
00:35:29,838 --> 00:35:34,000
standard to but that would never that
914
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,519
would never be in mainstream media these
915
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,960
types of images that type of language
916
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:40,880
those things would never be we'd never
917
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,880
in M when I was in mainstream media we'd
918
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:46,280
never promote things that um would would
919
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,800
be anti-semitic we would never promote
920
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,440
things antic
921
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:53,560
either did you you did you not see those
922
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,639
you said promote if if content is on the
923
00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:58,279
platform that doesn't mean we promote it
924
00:35:56,639 --> 00:36:00,400
but that wouldn't be on on a platform
925
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,720
for mainstream media at all no but you
926
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,480
can think of that that's because the
927
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:07,598
mainstream media is has like whatever 20
928
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:10,960
articles a day uh we have 500 million
929
00:36:07,599 --> 00:36:12,760
posts today million does it bother you
930
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,639
how do you feel about that when you see
931
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,359
it I obviously disagree with
932
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:20,078
that I think it's it's not good at all
933
00:36:17,358 --> 00:36:22,358
it's terrible but you don't want
934
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:26,839
to get rid of it on the platform or at
935
00:36:22,358 --> 00:36:28,159
least moderate it the lules you're your
936
00:36:26,838 --> 00:36:29,960
what you're suggesting is censorship
937
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:32,679
that goes beyond the law and what I'm
938
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,760
saying is Uh I that we I guess have a
939
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:36,440
disagreement because I do not believe in
940
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,079
censorship that goes beyond the law and
941
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,639
you do we have a difference of opinion
942
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:41,119
in that regard I understand that but
943
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:43,559
these are your own rules on your own
944
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:45,000
platform the these go against the rules
945
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:46,318
on your platform that's why I'm asking
946
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,838
you if you had if you said listen we
947
00:36:46,318 --> 00:36:49,759
allow everything but that's not what
948
00:36:47,838 --> 00:36:51,480
your content rules say and that's why
949
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,000
I'm asking you why are they still
950
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,318
there the your own content policy that's
951
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,838
why I'm asking you that not because
952
00:36:55,318 --> 00:36:59,199
which part of our content policy says
953
00:36:56,838 --> 00:37:00,799
that we have we should delete these the
954
00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:03,399
these things your content policy talks
955
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,680
about hate speech Yes we don't promote
956
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,880
hate spe hate speech and so you don't
957
00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:08,799
consider that hate
958
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,720
speech I guess you're understanding what
959
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:14,160
I'm saying there's there's there's if if
960
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,480
if there's you can find like you can
961
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:18,838
sign up right now and and and do a
962
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:22,318
hundred things that are hateful um but
963
00:37:18,838 --> 00:37:22,318
if nobody reads it it doesn't
964
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:29,280
matter so you you can think of X as
965
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,920
being it's much like the Internet it's
966
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,720
not some some tiny publication with like
967
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:38,000
20 articles it's 500 million uh but
968
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:40,439
everyone has the opportunity to read a
969
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,800
Elon theity to read the internet are you
970
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,800
said it suggesting we should shut down
971
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,000
the internet no but but you don't own
972
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,200
the internet I'm asking you about you
973
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,480
and your responsibility and your
974
00:37:46,199 --> 00:37:51,318
platform and I I so I see how you feel
975
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,760
now you don't agree we don't agree on
976
00:37:51,318 --> 00:37:55,039
this yes you want censorship and I don't
977
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,119
no I don't want censorship at all yes
978
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:59,039
you do no I want responsibility I think
979
00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:00,760
there's I think there you desperately
980
00:37:59,039 --> 00:38:02,039
want censorship no if I want to
981
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,000
censorship you want censorship so bad
982
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:07,159
you can taste it no that's not true it's
983
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:10,039
not true I think that there's right and
984
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:11,799
wrong what and I and I think that when
985
00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:13,239
you have a platform that's as big as
986
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,039
yours and as powerful as yours and as
987
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,519
inferential as yours and you are a
988
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:19,159
person of consequence to the world with
989
00:38:17,519 --> 00:38:20,639
what you do that there is a certain
990
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,399
responsibility that goes along with what
991
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:24,639
you have on your platform and what you
992
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,440
put out to the world and I I think
993
00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:28,440
that's important you don't see that
994
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,079
responsibility
995
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:34,838
um I think the we have a responsibility
996
00:38:31,079 --> 00:38:37,519
to uh adhere to the law um and if people
997
00:38:34,838 --> 00:38:38,880
want the law changed they should talk to
998
00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:40,358
elect talk to their elected
999
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,039
representative and get the law changed
1000
00:38:40,358 --> 00:38:43,838
and then we will adhere to the law okay
1001
00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:46,400
but if you want us to go beyond the law
1002
00:38:43,838 --> 00:38:48,920
that is that is uh us deciding to be
1003
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,838
censors so and I'm against censorship
1004
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,800
I'm I'm in favor of freedom of speech
1005
00:38:50,838 --> 00:38:54,599
and freedom of speech only is relevant
1006
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,318
when people you don't like say things
1007
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:59,680
you don't like otherwise it has no
1008
00:38:56,318 --> 00:39:00,880
meaning but I I do think that there are
1009
00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:04,480
there should be guard
1010
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:06,680
rails and I believe in free speech as
1011
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:09,159
much as you I would fight I don't I
1012
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:11,078
don't disagree I don't agree with um a
1013
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:12,399
lot of what you put out on social media
1014
00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:15,880
but I will fight for your right to be
1015
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:17,358
able to say it great yeah okay so listen
1016
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,838
let's talk about diversity equity and
1017
00:39:17,358 --> 00:39:21,159
inclusion all right that's been a target
1018
00:39:18,838 --> 00:39:23,559
of yours lately on X you uh on there was
1019
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:26,279
a repost of Ben Bureau that you claim
1020
00:39:23,559 --> 00:39:28,838
that Dei is killing people specifically
1021
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,119
you point to medicine you claim that Dei
1022
00:39:28,838 --> 00:39:33,519
programs are putting people at risk do
1023
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:36,079
you really believe this to be true and
1024
00:39:33,519 --> 00:39:37,519
what evidence do you have to support it
1025
00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:40,400
um what I was referring to there was
1026
00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:45,000
that if uh if we lower the standards for
1027
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:47,880
doctors uh such so that they you know if
1028
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,159
if the test for a doctor is lowered uh
1029
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,760
then the probability of them making a
1030
00:39:49,159 --> 00:39:53,000
mistake and killing someone is obviously
1031
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,200
going to be higher wait say that again I
1032
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,239
I'm not sure I understand what you said
1033
00:39:54,199 --> 00:39:57,039
I want to make sure I understand what
1034
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,879
you're saying actually yes if if these
1035
00:39:57,039 --> 00:40:01,719
if the stands for passing medical exams
1036
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,880
and becoming a doctor or especially
1037
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,679
something like a surgeon if the standat
1038
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,240
are
1039
00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:10,239
lowered uh uh then the probability that
1040
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,919
the S will make mistake is higher
1041
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,039
they're making mistakes in their exam
1042
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,159
they they may make mistakes with people
1043
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,838
and that may result people dying what
1044
00:40:16,159 --> 00:40:19,759
evidence do you have though that they're
1045
00:40:17,838 --> 00:40:23,400
lowering the standards there's no
1046
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:25,560
evidence of that belief there is there's
1047
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:28,079
no evidence of that Elon what what is
1048
00:40:25,559 --> 00:40:29,759
the evidence I I believe they have
1049
00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:31,680
literally lowered the standards at at
1050
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,680
Duke University and that is what the
1051
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:35,279
article was referring to there's no they
1052
00:40:33,679 --> 00:40:36,960
have not lower the standards there's no
1053
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,400
evidence about uh lowering standards and
1054
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,400
I think that there is um leave that as a
1055
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,280
false statement you're making okay well
1056
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,760
we we'll figure it out yeah I think
1057
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,440
inter thing is when this is posted on
1058
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,560
the xplatform there will be a whole
1059
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,400
bunch of things that reut what you said
1060
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:52,239
and what what I said and so people can
1061
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,920
then make their own decision based on
1062
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,719
the replies and the rebuttal and the
1063
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,159
community notes I think that's fair but
1064
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,199
I do think that on this particular topic
1065
00:40:58,159 --> 00:41:02,679
I do think that you and Ben Shiro are
1066
00:41:00,199 --> 00:41:06,118
reaching in about this because there was
1067
00:41:02,679 --> 00:41:07,559
a what what Ben posted said that people
1068
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:10,838
were he gave instances of people who
1069
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:14,039
were deliberately uh harming people um
1070
00:41:10,838 --> 00:41:15,679
nowhere in the thread does Ben suggest
1071
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:19,559
at all I should say that anyone is being
1072
00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:21,559
killed as a a result of Dei um that's
1073
00:41:19,559 --> 00:41:25,519
purely
1074
00:41:21,559 --> 00:41:28,039
speculative there's research on Dei and
1075
00:41:25,519 --> 00:41:30,719
medicine and there's no
1076
00:41:28,039 --> 00:41:32,960
no evidence that standards are being
1077
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:36,000
lowered okay that Dei is affecting
1078
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:39,199
medicine actually like only five% of
1079
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,559
doctors are black and a small
1080
00:41:39,199 --> 00:41:44,838
percent yeah I think you'll find that
1081
00:41:41,559 --> 00:41:47,119
when this is posted to ex platform that
1082
00:41:44,838 --> 00:41:50,440
uh people will reply to it with evidence
1083
00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:52,280
Maybe I'm Wrong let's see okay so but
1084
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,559
that's my whole thing about moderation
1085
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,680
maybe you're wrong but you'll put it out
1086
00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:56,199
there you don't know if it's right do
1087
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:58,039
you think that your responsibility to
1088
00:41:56,199 --> 00:42:01,199
make sure something is right before you
1089
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:03,639
the person who owns it Elon Musk who's a
1090
00:42:01,199 --> 00:42:05,159
huge figure in the world that you should
1091
00:42:03,639 --> 00:42:07,358
know that it's true that some there are
1092
00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:09,920
people at X who can get research for you
1093
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:11,960
before you put something out there like
1094
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,760
that that's not necessarily true even in
1095
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,559
other
1096
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,319
examples um if I say something that uh
1097
00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:19,000
is inaccurate I'm immediately corrected
1098
00:42:17,318 --> 00:42:21,358
on the platform that's the advantage of
1099
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,239
a real-time uh system like X so there
1100
00:42:21,358 --> 00:42:24,558
will be immediately in the replies corre
1101
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,279
people correcting me there will be
1102
00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:27,760
Community note that will correct me um
1103
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,519
which is attached to the actual post
1104
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,240
itself do you think as many people read
1105
00:42:29,519 --> 00:42:33,358
the yes you think as many people read
1106
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,639
that as it reads your Tweet yes in fact
1107
00:42:33,358 --> 00:42:36,920
and if if there's a community note that
1108
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:38,639
happens uh later that or somebody didn't
1109
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,720
see but they replied to that uh
1110
00:42:38,639 --> 00:42:42,199
interacted with that post we will notify
1111
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,799
them that there is now a community note
1112
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:46,078
correcting that post M just so you
1113
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,760
whereas if you consider the conventional
1114
00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:49,280
media that doesn't happen conventional
1115
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,839
media makes false statements all the
1116
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,920
time with no and nobody ever hears the
1117
00:42:51,838 --> 00:42:56,199
correction when I was in conventional
1118
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,599
media I can only speak for myself if I
1119
00:42:56,199 --> 00:42:59,358
got something wrong or if someone got
1120
00:42:57,599 --> 00:43:01,960
something wrong on the platform that
1121
00:42:59,358 --> 00:43:04,318
that I was on it was corrected and we
1122
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,760
made sure that it was corrected now I
1123
00:43:04,318 --> 00:43:08,039
can't speak for anyone else that's I
1124
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,040
think I don't think that's a universal
1125
00:43:08,039 --> 00:43:11,960
situation okay so I just want just the
1126
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:14,400
research so when you talk do you believe
1127
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,159
that people are dying because medical
1128
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,599
standards Dei is causing medical
1129
00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:19,358
standards to be lowered do you actually
1130
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:22,800
believe people are dying because of that
1131
00:43:19,358 --> 00:43:24,519
I I believe that uh if if we if we lower
1132
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,800
the stats for what it takes to become a
1133
00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:27,119
doctor you're saying if we lower the
1134
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,318
stands but do you believe people are
1135
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:32,318
dying because the standards are being
1136
00:43:29,318 --> 00:43:35,039
lowered I I don't or have think that is
1137
00:43:32,318 --> 00:43:38,318
yes an issue but it could become an
1138
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:40,000
issue okay but the actual evidence in
1139
00:43:38,318 --> 00:43:41,759
history shows the exact opposite if you
1140
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,358
look at how minorities are treated by
1141
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:47,559
the medical
1142
00:43:43,358 --> 00:43:51,078
system most doctors most doctors now are
1143
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:53,359
white and there are lots of mistakes in
1144
00:43:51,079 --> 00:43:57,559
medicine so you're saying
1145
00:43:53,358 --> 00:43:59,719
that my doctors are have bad Medical
1146
00:43:57,559 --> 00:44:01,119
Care I'm trying to understand your logic
1147
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,279
here when it comes to Dei because
1148
00:44:01,119 --> 00:44:03,200
there's no actual evidence of what
1149
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:07,839
you're
1150
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:10,078
saying no I I said so if the standards
1151
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:11,440
like like let's say uh I think that
1152
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:14,400
particular thing was referring to
1153
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:17,880
surgeons let's say surgeon is is asked
1154
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,920
to a a surgeon in training is asked to
1155
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,880
do a series of operations under the
1156
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,800
supervision of a senior surgeon and they
1157
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,680
get a bunch of those operations
1158
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,760
wrong if if if if that happens and if
1159
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:31,199
they are still approved to be a surgeon
1160
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:33,720
the probability that someone will die I
1161
00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:34,480
think at some point is high okay I
1162
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,759
understand that but that's a
1163
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,159
hypothetical that doesn't mean it's
1164
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,160
happening I didn't say it's
1165
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:43,000
happening you you didn't say it was
1166
00:44:40,159 --> 00:44:44,879
happening I said I said it will you but
1167
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,800
I said if if if if we lower status
1168
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,800
people people will
1169
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:53,640
die but why respond to something or put
1170
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,880
something out there that has not
1171
00:44:53,639 --> 00:44:57,239
happened because I could say you know I
1172
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,119
don't want it to happen I think we don't
1173
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,479
lowest lowest standards okay if you look
1174
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:03,760
at the history of the medical industry
1175
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,920
um especially when it comes to Black
1176
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,839
Americans it shows the exact opposite if
1177
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:10,079
you look at the Tuskegee experiment and
1178
00:45:07,838 --> 00:45:13,400
on and on only 5% of doctors are in
1179
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:14,839
America are black all of them are white
1180
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,400
so are you saying that if the majority
1181
00:45:14,838 --> 00:45:18,639
of doctors are white are you saying that
1182
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,720
D and there are still these inequities
1183
00:45:18,639 --> 00:45:22,199
right and there's and people still
1184
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:27,118
they're still mistakes are you blaming
1185
00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:29,879
Dei for that no I'm I'm very very basic
1186
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:32,200
Al saying that if we lower standards uh
1187
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,920
for what it takes to become uh a Bo
1188
00:45:32,199 --> 00:45:38,159
certified surgeon uh or you know an
1189
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,639
oncologist or something where that where
1190
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:41,358
the the kind of disease we're talking
1191
00:45:39,639 --> 00:45:44,480
about if you make a mistake causes
1192
00:45:41,358 --> 00:45:46,000
someone to die then there more people
1193
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,800
will die than if we don't lower the
1194
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,760
standards therefore we should not lower
1195
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,440
the standards but why do you think
1196
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,800
they're lowering the standards for
1197
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:55,639
minority doctors or women doctors
1198
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,880
or that's what the the that's what that
1199
00:45:55,639 --> 00:46:00,759
article suggested yes
1200
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,480
at at Duke University okay the evidence
1201
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:05,319
that I have shows that that's not true
1202
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:07,318
so listen after the door blew off this
1203
00:46:05,318 --> 00:46:09,358
um mid-flight in this Alaskan Airlines
1204
00:46:07,318 --> 00:46:10,759
flight do you remember that um you
1205
00:46:09,358 --> 00:46:13,239
responded a post claiming that the
1206
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:15,440
average H HBCU grad was less intelligent
1207
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,598
than the average airline pilot uh and
1208
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,280
stated that it will take an airline
1209
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:21,160
crashing an airplane crashing and
1210
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,400
killing hundreds of people for them to
1211
00:46:21,159 --> 00:46:25,239
change this crazy policy of diie I don't
1212
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:28,160
know if you did you misspell it on
1213
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:31,639
purpose which should be de EI do you
1214
00:46:28,159 --> 00:46:34,879
believe that women and minority Pilots
1215
00:46:31,639 --> 00:46:37,279
are inherently less intelligent and less
1216
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,440
skilled than white male Pilots no I'm
1217
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,599
just saying that we should not lower the
1218
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,159
standards for
1219
00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:45,800
that
1220
00:46:42,159 --> 00:46:47,199
okay but there's no evidence that
1221
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,000
standards are being lowered when it
1222
00:46:47,199 --> 00:46:50,399
comes to the airline industry you've
1223
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,159
repeatedly said that there's no evidence
1224
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,960
that standards being lowered and watch
1225
00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:56,159
the replies showing all the evidence
1226
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,480
that it is replies though on social
1227
00:46:56,159 --> 00:47:01,078
media are are not necessarily fact and
1228
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,318
evidence that's people they will site
1229
00:47:01,079 --> 00:47:06,760
all the the rep in the replies to this
1230
00:47:03,318 --> 00:47:08,920
you will see how often the this the the
1231
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:12,240
information is cited showing that indeed
1232
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:13,800
there are significant uh cases where uh
1233
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,358
standards are lowered and I do hope that
1234
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,440
happens I do hope that happens and and I
1235
00:47:15,358 --> 00:47:17,759
look forward to and as you said if
1236
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,920
you're wrong then you're wrong and if
1237
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,400
I'm wrong then I'm wrong yes okay so
1238
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,760
let's so and I'm glad we're having this
1239
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,318
conversation debate this is what you
1240
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,839
should we should be doing debating the
1241
00:47:24,318 --> 00:47:27,199
issue so if I'm wrong then I'm wrong and
1242
00:47:25,838 --> 00:47:28,639
then they'll be proven in the thing and
1243
00:47:27,199 --> 00:47:31,199
you as well but I just want to tell you
1244
00:47:28,639 --> 00:47:34,039
that that pilot that you talked about in
1245
00:47:31,199 --> 00:47:36,960
fact was a woman pilot landed the plane
1246
00:47:34,039 --> 00:47:38,920
safe safely despite the major
1247
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,400
malfunction with the equipment Boeing
1248
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,880
has taken responsibility for that
1249
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,400
incident saying that it was caused by a
1250
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,599
faulty door panel so I'm not sure what
1251
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,838
that had to do with lowering the
1252
00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:49,240
standards for Pilots when it was a FAL
1253
00:47:47,838 --> 00:47:52,838
not lowering standards for Pilots it's
1254
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:56,078
it's the the inent of structure uh I I
1255
00:47:52,838 --> 00:47:58,519
believe at Boeing changed to uh include
1256
00:47:56,079 --> 00:47:59,760
Dei as as uh as as a fundamental
1257
00:47:58,519 --> 00:48:03,119
executive
1258
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:06,119
incentive um so but in my view it should
1259
00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:08,480
be purely about passenger safety okay
1260
00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:11,280
but do you
1261
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,599
understand how by saying just that
1262
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,800
standards are being lowered that you're
1263
00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:17,440
implying that they're being lowered
1264
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,760
because people are less skilled and less
1265
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,318
intelligent and you're talking about
1266
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,680
people of color and or
1267
00:48:21,318 --> 00:48:25,759
women
1268
00:48:23,679 --> 00:48:27,838
uh look I'm I'm saying we should not
1269
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,839
lower standards but do you you don't
1270
00:48:27,838 --> 00:48:31,159
that's
1271
00:48:28,838 --> 00:48:33,078
it I think everyone can agree that you
1272
00:48:31,159 --> 00:48:34,000
can't you shouldn't lower standards
1273
00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:35,480
right that's but you're implying that
1274
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,639
they're lowering standards because of
1275
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,358
people of color or women because someone
1276
00:48:37,639 --> 00:48:40,558
is not a white male you're saying that
1277
00:48:39,358 --> 00:48:41,639
they're less skilled and less
1278
00:48:40,559 --> 00:48:42,880
intelligent that's what you're say no
1279
00:48:41,639 --> 00:48:43,960
I'm not saying that I'm simply saying
1280
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,280
that they are then why would they be
1281
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,519
lowering the standards I don't know why
1282
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,160
are they lowering the standards just so
1283
00:48:47,519 --> 00:48:52,519
you know 5% of Pilots are female 4% are
1284
00:48:50,159 --> 00:48:53,960
black so you're you know you're talking
1285
00:48:52,519 --> 00:48:55,719
about this widespread takeover
1286
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:58,559
minorities and women when that's not
1287
00:48:55,719 --> 00:49:01,239
actually
1288
00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:02,119
true I'm not saying this why I take over
1289
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,479
well you're saying that the standards
1290
00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:06,400
are being lowered because of certain
1291
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:08,318
people um you how do you you don't
1292
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,480
believe in Dei right do you not believe
1293
00:49:08,318 --> 00:49:14,318
divers in diversity equity and inclusion
1294
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:16,838
I think we should be uh treat people uh
1295
00:49:14,318 --> 00:49:20,679
according to their
1296
00:49:16,838 --> 00:49:24,759
skills uh and their integrity and that's
1297
00:49:20,679 --> 00:49:27,480
it do you know that study show study
1298
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,799
show yeah well we can look him up well
1299
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,440
so your reaction to study show and
1300
00:49:29,798 --> 00:49:33,798
understand right because I always like
1301
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:36,519
to say I always like to point to an
1302
00:49:33,798 --> 00:49:38,318
exact uh study right sure something that
1303
00:49:36,519 --> 00:49:40,639
is factual it's the same thing when you
1304
00:49:38,318 --> 00:49:43,679
talk about well let's see what the
1305
00:49:40,639 --> 00:49:45,318
replies are on Twitter or on X I so I
1306
00:49:43,679 --> 00:49:46,960
feel the same I feel the same way about
1307
00:49:45,318 --> 00:49:48,358
that but this is what studies have sh
1308
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,000
and people will reply and they'll say
1309
00:49:48,358 --> 00:49:51,759
that companies with more diversity and
1310
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,400
their leadership teams have reported
1311
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:56,839
higher Innovation raceing those with a
1312
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:59,760
lower um with lower diversity a low
1313
00:49:56,838 --> 00:50:02,239
diversity
1314
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,119
and they they're better companies and
1315
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,399
they make more money this whole idea
1316
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:08,200
about Dei if you go woke or whatever you
1317
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,639
go broke that's not necessarily true
1318
00:50:08,199 --> 00:50:14,000
people with diverse leadership teams and
1319
00:50:10,639 --> 00:50:15,920
diverse um workers make more money and
1320
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:19,079
more
1321
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:21,119
Innova um like I said my view is that
1322
00:50:19,079 --> 00:50:23,519
the the only basis for promoting
1323
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:26,440
somebody should be uh their skills
1324
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:27,239
talents and uh their integrity and
1325
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,440
that's
1326
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,719
I want to ask you about there's a
1327
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,400
there's a federal government uh EEOC
1328
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,000
they are also currently involved in a
1329
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,480
lawsuit against Tesla that alleges that
1330
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,798
there's a history of widespread racial
1331
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,400
harassment against black Tesla employees
1332
00:50:37,798 --> 00:50:41,119
as well as a pattern of retaliation for
1333
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:45,240
speaking
1334
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:46,798
out what do you say to that uh well uh
1335
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,399
there's I I don't believe that is that
1336
00:50:46,798 --> 00:50:52,880
is true um I think we've got a very good
1337
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:55,079
uh uh like if if you walk around the the
1338
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:57,480
te the Tesla Fremont plant I think it's
1339
00:50:55,079 --> 00:50:59,880
a very good atmosphere
1340
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:01,358
um in fact I I practically lived there
1341
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:03,358
for 3 years trying to make the
1342
00:51:01,358 --> 00:51:04,519
production work were you aware if you
1343
00:51:03,358 --> 00:51:07,719
live there were you aware of such
1344
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:07,719
Behavior I never saw
1345
00:51:08,519 --> 00:51:14,000
it so you're saying that this is not
1346
00:51:11,159 --> 00:51:15,679
true it's not happening well I mean
1347
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,599
there's over 20,000 people so you say
1348
00:51:15,679 --> 00:51:19,558
like if there's over 20,000 people in
1349
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:22,400
one building um well is everyone going
1350
00:51:19,559 --> 00:51:24,440
to be behaved publicly no did I see any
1351
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,760
any situations that I thought were uh
1352
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,559
improper I did not uh let's talk about
1353
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,760
trans rights and the woke mind virus
1354
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:31,240
because youve talk about that a lot
1355
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,160
you're right about that a lot on the
1356
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,399
thing you have been deeply outspoken
1357
00:51:33,159 --> 00:51:37,078
about the issue of trans right you
1358
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:40,160
posted trans writes you posted that
1359
00:51:37,079 --> 00:51:41,599
pronouns in bio mean the woke mind virus
1360
00:51:40,159 --> 00:51:43,719
ate your
1361
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:45,440
brain do you know what the term woke
1362
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,118
actually
1363
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:50,760
means
1364
00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:53,200
um it's come to mean a lot of things but
1365
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:56,960
what it actually what originally it was
1366
00:51:53,199 --> 00:51:58,879
meant to mean it's just being aware of
1367
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,400
inequities in society and and being
1368
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:03,119
aware of facts and and history yeah I
1369
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,160
think it's come to
1370
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:07,640
be I think I think being aware of
1371
00:52:05,159 --> 00:52:11,480
inequities in society is fine of course
1372
00:52:07,639 --> 00:52:13,239
um but uh trying to blame everything uh
1373
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:16,119
on on trying to make everything a race
1374
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:18,358
issue is uh I think a divisive and
1375
00:52:16,119 --> 00:52:20,480
corrosive to
1376
00:52:18,358 --> 00:52:23,519
society even as it relates to trans
1377
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:25,920
isues which is what I'm yeah race or you
1378
00:52:23,519 --> 00:52:28,079
know gender or whatever you think
1379
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,760
blaming you think that Society blames
1380
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:32,920
everything on racism
1381
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:38,160
now it blames a lot of things on it and
1382
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:41,559
uh yeah you think that's unfair yeah why
1383
00:52:38,159 --> 00:52:44,679
I think I think we should we should uh
1384
00:52:41,559 --> 00:52:46,680
not not make this a constant uh subject
1385
00:52:44,679 --> 00:52:49,960
I think we need to move on I think we're
1386
00:52:46,679 --> 00:52:51,519
just you know um treat people like
1387
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:55,358
people
1388
00:52:51,519 --> 00:52:57,318
you don't agree that there's this
1389
00:52:55,358 --> 00:53:01,880
country was founded on racism and
1390
00:52:57,318 --> 00:53:01,880
founded on slavery and and in many ways
1391
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:08,359
inequities um that's still continue on
1392
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:10,640
to the St I think every country uh at
1393
00:53:08,358 --> 00:53:15,838
that time and I think even today was
1394
00:53:10,639 --> 00:53:19,558
extremely racist um every country um and
1395
00:53:15,838 --> 00:53:24,078
um obviously a uh slavery was present in
1396
00:53:19,559 --> 00:53:26,079
uh by half this country um and no but
1397
00:53:24,079 --> 00:53:28,839
not was not present in the in the uh
1398
00:53:26,079 --> 00:53:35,200
North uh there was racism for sure uh
1399
00:53:28,838 --> 00:53:35,199
but you know the I I think we we we want
1400
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:43,599
to look to the future rather than the
1401
00:53:38,519 --> 00:53:45,880
past um and uh instead of engaging in uh
1402
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:48,000
constant rehashing of the past uh
1403
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,720
because in fact if you look at history
1404
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,480
if you study history broadly everyone
1405
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,480
was a slate
1406
00:53:52,639 --> 00:53:58,199
everyone yes well not everyone was a
1407
00:53:55,039 --> 00:53:59,960
slave everyone was a slave okay but we
1408
00:53:58,199 --> 00:54:03,118
we are we are we are all descended from
1409
00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:04,798
slaves yeah all of us yeah um it's just
1410
00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:07,599
a question of when is a was it more
1411
00:54:04,798 --> 00:54:10,880
recent or less recent that's it right um
1412
00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:12,400
so the but what what Future do We want
1413
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,440
is this something we want to make part
1414
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,000
about constant dialogue forever or do do
1415
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:20,280
we want to say like let's just move on
1416
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:23,400
and treat everyone uh you know
1417
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:25,160
uh according to just who they are as an
1418
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,358
individual I agree with you with that
1419
00:54:25,159 --> 00:54:29,960
that's the ideal but what the evidence
1420
00:54:27,358 --> 00:54:32,000
shows is that that's not what's actually
1421
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,798
in
1422
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,318
practice I think we're do it better than
1423
00:54:33,798 --> 00:54:38,639
anywhere else that that's true I agree
1424
00:54:36,318 --> 00:54:40,000
with that but that doesn't mean anything
1425
00:54:38,639 --> 00:54:42,239
that doesn't mean a lot to a whole lot
1426
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,519
of people who are able to take advantage
1427
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,479
of the opportunities that you were able
1428
00:54:43,519 --> 00:54:47,920
to take advantage of simply because the
1429
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,920
color of your
1430
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:53,480
skin what advant what what advantage is
1431
00:54:51,159 --> 00:54:54,920
my color my skin give well there's a
1432
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,119
certain there's an ease that you have in
1433
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,960
society that you that many people of
1434
00:54:57,119 --> 00:55:02,400
color don't you were able to come to
1435
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:03,798
this country voluntarily there are many
1436
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,240
people who were not able to come to the
1437
00:55:03,798 --> 00:55:07,159
country voluntarily there people who
1438
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,919
came here as slaves me to come here and
1439
00:55:07,159 --> 00:55:10,679
there is a legacy of slavery that still
1440
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,200
continues on there's a legacy of racism
1441
00:55:10,679 --> 00:55:14,719
that still continues on in this country
1442
00:55:12,199 --> 00:55:17,399
that's and that's
1443
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:19,838
undeniable well if if if we keep talking
1444
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:22,160
about it non-stop it will never go
1445
00:55:19,838 --> 00:55:24,639
away if we keep making up the central
1446
00:55:22,159 --> 00:55:27,399
thing it will never go
1447
00:55:24,639 --> 00:55:29,279
away well why do you believe
1448
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:34,039
that I think I'm just making a simple
1449
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:36,559
statement of fact um
1450
00:55:34,039 --> 00:55:38,319
so I think I think we want to get away
1451
00:55:36,559 --> 00:55:40,760
from making everything a race or a
1452
00:55:38,318 --> 00:55:42,679
gender or whatever issue and just treat
1453
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:46,960
people like
1454
00:55:42,679 --> 00:55:49,440
individuals do you have any desire to
1455
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:52,760
understand what many people of color and
1456
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:55,039
even trans people um how they feel about
1457
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,640
this country and how they're treated in
1458
00:55:55,039 --> 00:55:59,280
this country if they if they say and
1459
00:55:57,639 --> 00:56:01,199
they believe that they are treated a
1460
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:03,640
certain way in this country why don't
1461
00:56:01,199 --> 00:56:05,239
you believe them you you cannot have a
1462
00:56:03,639 --> 00:56:07,960
situation where where someone is a
1463
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:09,558
self-described victim and and they and
1464
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,159
they just get to be that because that's
1465
00:56:09,559 --> 00:56:16,280
how they feel I think that that does
1466
00:56:12,159 --> 00:56:18,239
happen in some cases but not all cases
1467
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,720
and I think that not understanding the
1468
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:24,118
history of the country I think is um is
1469
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:25,399
a real shame look I've had we should
1470
00:56:24,119 --> 00:56:26,798
country and other countries I've had
1471
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,079
incredible opportunities as a person of
1472
00:56:26,798 --> 00:56:30,599
color right but I've also been but I've
1473
00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:32,720
also been discriminated against and I
1474
00:56:30,599 --> 00:56:35,079
know that I have and I know that that's
1475
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:37,239
real and for someone to say that that
1476
00:56:35,079 --> 00:56:38,760
isn't happened and I should not I should
1477
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:42,038
just move forward and not think about
1478
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:44,359
that and ignore the past is insulting
1479
00:56:42,039 --> 00:56:46,000
I'm not saying it D you keep putting
1480
00:56:44,358 --> 00:56:47,199
words in my mouth I'm not saying it's I
1481
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,880
didn't say that you said I'm saying that
1482
00:56:47,199 --> 00:56:51,960
we want to we we as we as a country
1483
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,720
should move Beyond questions of of of
1484
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,358
race and gender and we should treat
1485
00:56:53,719 --> 00:57:00,159
people like individuals and and base our
1486
00:56:56,358 --> 00:57:02,318
opinions on them on the you know uh
1487
00:57:00,159 --> 00:57:04,199
their uh their their character and their
1488
00:57:02,318 --> 00:57:05,558
skills I don't think that anyone will
1489
00:57:04,199 --> 00:57:07,000
disagree with that exactly all I'm
1490
00:57:05,559 --> 00:57:09,359
saying is that that's not happening and
1491
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:11,199
is not equal for everyone that those
1492
00:57:09,358 --> 00:57:13,639
opportunities don't happen for everyone
1493
00:57:11,199 --> 00:57:15,199
and I am a living example that they
1494
00:57:13,639 --> 00:57:16,318
don't I know that they don't because I
1495
00:57:15,199 --> 00:57:18,919
live
1496
00:57:16,318 --> 00:57:22,199
it you've been incredibly successful I
1497
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:26,519
have been in spite of it all but I but I
1498
00:57:22,199 --> 00:57:28,159
am I know what I know I've experence
1499
00:57:26,519 --> 00:57:32,000
what I've experienced you haven't done
1500
00:57:28,159 --> 00:57:34,480
that and I cannot um I don't know what
1501
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,719
it's like to be from South Africa I
1502
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,119
don't know what it's like to be a white
1503
00:57:35,719 --> 00:57:38,679
man I don't know what it's like to be a
1504
00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:40,920
woman I don't know what it's like to be
1505
00:57:38,679 --> 00:57:42,519
Latino person I don't know that so I
1506
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:45,760
wouldn't speak for them and just say you
1507
00:57:42,519 --> 00:57:47,960
need to move on that's not for me to say
1508
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,799
I maybe I believe that the country it
1509
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:53,440
would be great if the country could live
1510
00:57:49,798 --> 00:57:55,599
up to that ideal you think that everyone
1511
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,920
has the same opportunities in America
1512
00:57:55,599 --> 00:58:00,079
regardless of their background and E
1513
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,559
ethnicity do you agree you no I don't
1514
00:58:00,079 --> 00:58:04,200
think everyone has the same option AIDS
1515
00:58:01,559 --> 00:58:05,359
okay so um when you talk about let's
1516
00:58:04,199 --> 00:58:08,439
talking about trans right when you
1517
00:58:05,358 --> 00:58:10,759
decided to um to talk about the the
1518
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,400
trans Rights Movement um you said that
1519
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,520
it was a woke mind virus why do you
1520
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,838
believe the trans Rights Movement is a
1521
00:58:14,519 --> 00:58:19,239
woke mind virus what do you mean by woke
1522
00:58:16,838 --> 00:58:19,239
mind
1523
00:58:21,159 --> 00:58:27,239
virus WWI viruses um when you you st
1524
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:31,519
carry about uh
1525
00:58:27,239 --> 00:58:34,318
people's skills um and their integrity
1526
00:58:31,519 --> 00:58:36,559
and you start focusing instead on gender
1527
00:58:34,318 --> 00:58:40,679
and Brace and other things that are
1528
00:58:36,559 --> 00:58:42,599
different from that um I think uh the
1529
00:58:40,679 --> 00:58:45,558
worldwi virus is fundamentally racist
1530
00:58:42,599 --> 00:58:48,079
fundamentally sexist and fundamentally
1531
00:58:45,559 --> 00:58:50,039
evil okay and we've got a little bit
1532
00:58:48,079 --> 00:58:53,119
more time so you choose your question
1533
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:55,280
okay so okay thank you for that but you
1534
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:56,640
I would appreciate you answering these I
1535
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,519
think it's important that doing this I
1536
00:58:56,639 --> 00:58:59,798
think it's important to the to world the
1537
00:58:58,519 --> 00:59:02,719
world to hear this especially what's
1538
00:58:59,798 --> 00:59:04,280
going on uh in our country the reason I
1539
00:59:02,719 --> 00:59:06,199
ask you listen there are a whole lot of
1540
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,200
things that people may be uh have
1541
00:59:06,199 --> 00:59:09,519
questions about when it comes to
1542
00:59:07,199 --> 00:59:11,719
transgender people even people who are
1543
00:59:09,519 --> 00:59:13,798
part of the lgbtq plus Community have
1544
00:59:11,719 --> 00:59:17,439
questions about that but if you are a
1545
00:59:13,798 --> 00:59:19,079
free speech absolutist right um and that
1546
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,720
is part of the First Amendment also the
1547
00:59:19,079 --> 00:59:23,440
freedom of expression falls under that
1548
00:59:20,719 --> 00:59:26,558
first amendment as well so why can't
1549
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:28,119
people choose to identify with the
1550
00:59:26,559 --> 00:59:30,160
gender that they feel comfortable with
1551
00:59:28,119 --> 00:59:31,880
or with a use a pronoun isn't that part
1552
00:59:30,159 --> 00:59:33,960
of freedom of
1553
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:37,640
expression uh I guess though they can
1554
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:39,760
they can ask others to do whatever they
1555
00:59:37,639 --> 00:59:41,480
feel they they can ask others to do
1556
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,079
anything what it it's a different
1557
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,798
question where they whether they mandate
1558
00:59:43,079 --> 00:59:47,280
that others do that thing okay let's
1559
00:59:45,798 --> 00:59:49,759
let's talk more about free speech and
1560
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,839
for advertisers right because all this
1561
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,079
controversy I believe as you know has
1562
00:59:51,838 --> 00:59:55,239
made um X less appealing to advertisers
1563
00:59:54,079 --> 00:59:57,440
about half of them have left the
1564
00:59:55,239 --> 00:59:59,358
platform you call advertisers that left
1565
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,159
x.com he said there were oppressors
1566
00:59:59,358 --> 01:00:03,159
you've even gone as far as saying it
1567
01:00:01,159 --> 01:00:04,318
publicly that they can go f themselves
1568
01:00:03,159 --> 01:00:06,199
or go [ __ ]
1569
01:00:04,318 --> 01:00:07,599
themselves ad if they're if they're
1570
01:00:06,199 --> 01:00:11,038
going to force censorship on on the
1571
01:00:07,599 --> 01:00:12,480
company uh before advertising then uh
1572
01:00:11,039 --> 01:00:14,480
obviously I find that unacceptable you
1573
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:18,760
find it unacceptable why is that not a
1574
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:21,000
form of of free speech they are free to
1575
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:23,000
advertise where they want they're not
1576
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:26,920
beholden to they're not obligated to
1577
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,838
advertise next.com right so
1578
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:32,960
how is that not free
1579
01:00:28,838 --> 01:00:35,440
speech they they that's whereas the
1580
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:38,039
other platforms will censor on behalf of
1581
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:41,039
of advertisers the xplatform will
1582
01:00:38,039 --> 01:00:43,359
not okay so but you think it's you don't
1583
01:00:41,039 --> 01:00:48,200
think it's okay for them not
1584
01:00:43,358 --> 01:00:51,759
to advertise with or have their content
1585
01:00:48,199 --> 01:00:54,358
or their advertisement next to something
1586
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:56,760
that is anti-Semitic or that is a
1587
01:00:54,358 --> 01:00:59,279
different question uh
1588
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:01,400
you you we there's there's you can
1589
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:04,119
absolutely choose where next to which
1590
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:06,760
content do you want your advertising to
1591
01:01:04,119 --> 01:01:08,559
appearer absolutely of course and we do
1592
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,480
we have I think very good ad placement
1593
01:01:08,559 --> 01:01:12,400
controls in this regard yeah so you said
1594
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:16,798
if they kill the company it's them but
1595
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,798
doesn't the buck stop with you I
1596
01:01:17,318 --> 01:01:22,199
mean I have to
1597
01:01:20,199 --> 01:01:24,679
say choose your question carefully
1598
01:01:22,199 --> 01:01:25,558
there's five minutes left okay but so is
1599
01:01:24,679 --> 01:01:26,879
this the question you want to ask the
1600
01:01:25,559 --> 01:01:28,359
same question question is you said you
1601
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,280
said that they are killing the company
1602
01:01:28,358 --> 01:01:33,159
but you're the head of the company the
1603
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,160
buck doesn't stop with
1604
01:01:35,559 --> 01:01:41,839
you I acquired X in order to preserve
1605
01:01:38,719 --> 01:01:44,679
freedom of speech in America the First
1606
01:01:41,838 --> 01:01:46,798
Amendment and I'm going to stick to that
1607
01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:48,480
and if that means making less money so
1608
01:01:46,798 --> 01:01:51,038
be
1609
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:53,000
it so I have to be listen I I'm just
1610
01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:57,160
being honest right I'm not trying to
1611
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:58,480
like get you or anything I was just
1612
01:01:57,159 --> 01:02:00,199
surprised that you would blame other
1613
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,000
people for killing the company I mean
1614
01:02:00,199 --> 01:02:03,078
you're the I mean when you say the buck
1615
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,679
stops with the president of the United
1616
01:02:03,079 --> 01:02:09,200
States regardless of what happens right
1617
01:02:06,679 --> 01:02:11,239
so I why would the why would that
1618
01:02:09,199 --> 01:02:13,239
question upset you seem upset by it are
1619
01:02:11,239 --> 01:02:15,000
you I think you're and I'm not trying to
1620
01:02:13,239 --> 01:02:15,798
upset you the well you are upsetting me
1621
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,239
because the way you're phrasing
1622
01:02:15,798 --> 01:02:22,159
questions I think is is not cogent um
1623
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:27,159
it's not what not cogent cogent yes go
1624
01:02:22,159 --> 01:02:30,038
ahead uh so uh the
1625
01:02:27,159 --> 01:02:31,278
if if if if given a choice where an
1626
01:02:30,039 --> 01:02:33,039
Advertiser is saying like you have to
1627
01:02:31,278 --> 01:02:34,798
censor all this content on the platform
1628
01:02:33,039 --> 01:02:37,319
irrespective of where advertising
1629
01:02:34,798 --> 01:02:38,880
appears uh then our answer will be like
1630
01:02:37,318 --> 01:02:40,278
look you you you can choose where you
1631
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,318
want your advertising what you want your
1632
01:02:40,278 --> 01:02:44,119
Advertiser to appear next to but you
1633
01:02:42,318 --> 01:02:46,038
can't insist on censorship of the entire
1634
01:02:44,119 --> 01:02:48,599
platform if you insist on censorship of
1635
01:02:46,039 --> 01:02:52,440
the entire platform even where your
1636
01:02:48,599 --> 01:02:55,519
advertising doesn't appear uh then uh
1637
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:57,278
obviously we will we will not uh want
1638
01:02:55,519 --> 01:02:59,519
them as an Advertiser so what what would
1639
01:02:57,278 --> 01:03:02,159
you say to advertisers to who have left
1640
01:02:59,519 --> 01:03:03,440
the platform or who are considering
1641
01:03:02,159 --> 01:03:05,318
coming back or not coming back what
1642
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,599
would you like to say to them well first
1643
01:03:05,318 --> 01:03:10,639
of all uh almost all of our advertisers
1644
01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:12,400
are coming back P so it's a very short
1645
01:03:10,639 --> 01:03:16,480
list of advertisers who are not coming
1646
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:18,680
back to platform um and uh our
1647
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:21,519
advertising revenue is rising
1648
01:03:18,679 --> 01:03:23,000
rapidly uh and our subscription revenue
1649
01:03:21,519 --> 01:03:25,318
is rising rapidly and I feel very
1650
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:27,760
optimistic about the future of the X B
1651
01:03:25,318 --> 01:03:29,558
okay listen I'm not I'm honestly I'm not
1652
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:32,480
meaning to offend you you're an intense
1653
01:03:29,559 --> 01:03:35,640
person where does that intensity come
1654
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:38,119
from I was Bor that
1655
01:03:35,639 --> 01:03:41,358
way and had a tough
1656
01:03:38,119 --> 01:03:43,960
childhood you did so yeah how
1657
01:03:41,358 --> 01:03:45,639
so right wford isacson goes into it in
1658
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,519
the book and and we only have a couple
1659
01:03:45,639 --> 01:03:50,440
minutes left so all right too long to
1660
01:03:48,519 --> 01:03:51,920
describe um so there one or two
1661
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:55,440
questions I can do and then we'll to
1662
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:58,119
call it I okay again I don't mean to
1663
01:03:55,440 --> 01:04:00,880
upset you why are you you
1664
01:03:58,119 --> 01:04:02,640
just no I have a whole room full of
1665
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,358
people waiting to meet with me okay so
1666
01:04:02,639 --> 01:04:07,358
we're just going over time okay all
1667
01:04:04,358 --> 01:04:08,598
right I understand that um so you when
1668
01:04:07,358 --> 01:04:11,358
you talk about you said you were born
1669
01:04:08,599 --> 01:04:13,640
that way is that
1670
01:04:11,358 --> 01:04:16,078
um did you you think that the way that
1671
01:04:13,639 --> 01:04:17,759
you see the world has to do with your
1672
01:04:16,079 --> 01:04:21,720
relationship with anyone perhaps your
1673
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:23,880
your father or someone in in your
1674
01:04:21,719 --> 01:04:25,959
family I think we're all affected by the
1675
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:30,039
people we we grow up with um my
1676
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:33,278
aspiration is to uh do whatever it takes
1677
01:04:30,039 --> 01:04:36,400
to extend the extend Consciousness into
1678
01:04:33,278 --> 01:04:38,679
the future that's my goal um to make
1679
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,798
life multiplanetary as part of extending
1680
01:04:38,679 --> 01:04:43,480
con Consciousness is the Future Has This
1681
01:04:41,798 --> 01:04:44,639
has have the past few years and
1682
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,559
considering everything that's gone on
1683
01:04:44,639 --> 01:04:48,920
has it been difficult for you in your
1684
01:04:46,559 --> 01:04:48,920
family
1685
01:04:49,079 --> 01:04:57,519
life it's been okay so then how do you
1686
01:04:52,358 --> 01:05:00,278
see your legacy Elon H how how do you
1687
01:04:57,519 --> 01:05:02,239
see how people see you in first of all I
1688
01:05:00,278 --> 01:05:05,639
say
1689
01:05:02,239 --> 01:05:07,919
the um if I died knowing that I that I
1690
01:05:05,639 --> 01:05:09,838
did what was right or or did my best to
1691
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,960
do what was right and even if in the
1692
01:05:09,838 --> 01:05:13,400
history books they said I did did wrong
1693
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,920
I would still feel okay about that I
1694
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:17,760
care about the reality of goodness not
1695
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:20,720
the perception of it um I think we
1696
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:23,880
should view civilization uh as tenuous
1697
01:05:20,719 --> 01:05:25,798
as fragile um if you if you do study
1698
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:28,318
history broadly you'll see the VIS right
1699
01:05:25,798 --> 01:05:30,480
and P civilizations they don't always go
1700
01:05:28,318 --> 01:05:32,798
up um so we should do everything we
1701
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:35,240
possibly can to preserve uh and and
1702
01:05:32,798 --> 01:05:37,599
extend civilization as we know it yeah
1703
01:05:35,239 --> 01:05:41,598
um andove it um it's become more
1704
01:05:37,599 --> 01:05:43,960
enlightened over time and we uh
1705
01:05:41,599 --> 01:05:46,838
therefore want to address civilizational
1706
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:48,159
risks uh we want to make sure that uh we
1707
01:05:46,838 --> 01:05:49,880
don't have for example demographic
1708
01:05:48,159 --> 01:05:52,440
collapse which is the case in a lot of
1709
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:54,559
countries uh just very little birth rate
1710
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:56,079
um we want to avoid obviously avoid
1711
01:05:54,559 --> 01:05:58,039
World War III anything that is a
1712
01:05:56,079 --> 01:06:00,640
civilizational risk that's what I care
1713
01:05:58,039 --> 01:06:03,319
about civilizational risks um how do we
1714
01:06:00,639 --> 01:06:05,679
extend Consciousness into the future
1715
01:06:03,318 --> 01:06:07,920
such that we are able
1716
01:06:05,679 --> 01:06:10,440
to better
1717
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,599
understand the the nature of reality
1718
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,720
that's what I care about that's my
1719
01:06:11,599 --> 01:06:14,960
motivation I know you have to go if
1720
01:06:12,719 --> 01:06:16,679
you'll just give me I'll do a rapid fire
1721
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:19,760
thing here is if there is there anything
1722
01:06:16,679 --> 01:06:21,399
that you would change about um anything
1723
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,760
that you've done in your life in the
1724
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:25,119
