Jacob Silverman returns to the pod to talk about the breakdown in relationship between Musk and Trump, and the tensions that have always simmered at the heart of the Silicon Valley / MAGA alliance⦠but how it will likely remain in place after the extremely replaceable Elon pissed everyone off so much he was asked to leave. Also, Jacob went to the Bitcoin conference and found it to be a shimmering sea of weirdness.
Does Ketamine still make time run backwards?* Cos I see a big bender in Muskās future if soā¦
*YMMV
Here. Sodas on me.
Elon assumed being rich made him enough of a big shot to take on the president. And honestly it might ā if he were willing to use the actual power it gives him, which is spending money on it. But of course heās too greedy for that unless heās under direct threat of losing more, and too incompetent anyway unless thereās already a āwe will do that thing you wantā organization someone set up. So he tried to do it with tweeting, which he thinks he is good at because he bought the company to make it like him. It took him this long to realize that wouldnāt work.
How many divisions does Elon have?
A hundred billion could buy or bribe a decent number of divisions, so maybe he forgot he has zero?
Iāll bet he had Blackwater on speed dial.
Surgical strike, Elon.
Honestly, I think his whole entire wealth is predicated on his government contracts. And if that goes away, then heās actually fucked, financially. He probably doesnāt have billions of cash, itās likely billions in stockā¦
If I understand this confusion between Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk correctly, they had a huge fight and Mr. Musk claimed that Mr. Trump committed criminal acts and He had solid evidences, but now He preferred to apologized in a way for what He said, remain silent and even repentant. Either He lied, or He knew a lot about the the links to Mr. Epsteinās infamous Island parties and doesnāt care, or He is hiding evidence that could be interpreted as obstruction of justice.
Or he was ripped to the tits on pills and weedā¦
My bad, I was high.
