No. Okay. Well, which ones aren't being funded? I'll fix it right now.
For Okay. Well, I'm in this absurd situation where I was born in South Africa but cannot get a license to operate in Starink because I'm not black. Well, it looks like that's right. Looks like that's about to change. I just asked you a question. Please answer. Does that seem right to you? I ask you a question. This is This is your interview. Everyone wants to hear from you. Ask your question. Yes or no? Not racist yet. No, not for me to answer. Why do you like racist laws? I mean, I feel you're somewhat trapped in the uh NPC dialogue tree of a traditional B uh journalist. It's like talking to a computer. And I'm just Where does who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children given that he was he to Jeffrey Epste? He spent a lot.
What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the channel. Hope all is good wherever you are. Elon Musk was at the Qatar economic forum virtually. Of course, the guy is a busy man and he absolutely cooked this leftwing host. Cooked her. Let's get to the first part where they talk about the lunatics, the woke lunatics that attacked Tesla of your future pay package. Your decision to be committed to Tesla for the next 5 years as long as you are still with us on this planet is completely independent of pay. No, it's not independent. So pay is a relevant factor then to your commitment to Tesla. Um a sufficient voting control such that um I cannot be ousted by activist investors is what matters to me. And I've said this publicly many times. Um, but let's not have this whole thing be a discussion of my alleged pay. It's not a money thing. It's a a reasonable control thing over the future of the company, especially if we're building uh millions, potentially billions of humanoid robots. Um, I can't be sitting there u uh and wanting to get tossed out by um for political reasons by activists. That would be unacceptable. That's all that matters. Now, let's move on.
Okay. Well, just one question. Move on. Well, one question before we move on to other companies, which is that I wonder if some of what you've has happened to Tesla in the last few months, did you take it personally? Yes. And did it make you regret any of or think twice about your political endeavors? because it is I did I did what needed to be done. Uh the the violent antibody reaction. Um and I'm I'm not someone who's ever committed violence. Um and yet uh massive violence was committed against my companies. Massive violence was threatened against me. Who are these people? Why would they do that? How wrong can they be? They're on the wrong They're on the wrong side of history. And that's an evil thing to do. To go and damage some po innocent person's car, to threaten to kill me. What's wrong with these people? I've not harmed anyone. So, something needs to be done about them. And a number of them are going to prison, and they deserve it. More will. You're you're referring to the attacks on Tesla showrooms, but I think Yeah, bullets into showrooms and burning down cars is unacceptable. Yeah, those people will go to prison and the people that funded them and organized them will also go to prison. Don't worry. But wouldn't you We're coming for you. Wouldn't Wouldn't you But wouldn't Wouldn't you acknowledge that some of the people who turned against Tesla in Europe were were upset at your politics and very few of them would have been violent in any way. They just objected to to what they saw you say or do politically. Well, it's certainly fine to object to political things, but it's not it's not fine to resort uh to violence and hanging someone in effigy and death threats. Um that's obviously not okay. Um uh you know uh that's absurd. Um that is uh in no way justifiable at all in any way, shape or form. And and uh some of the the legacy media nonetheless have sought to justify it which is unconscionable. Shame on them.
Right. You can't blame the guy for being a little bit better. He built that thing. Yes, he didn't found it. He wasn't one of the original guys that started, but it only became a great company after he got involved. His concept, his brain power, the way he moved the company forward. The guy is a great entrepreneur. It doesn't really matter if he was there from day one with Tesla. Tesla is where it is because of him. And if you're an entrepreneur, these are like your little babies. You want to see them do good. I hope the people that vandalize and torch Teslas that are owned by good American citizens, whether they're on the left or not, that's not the point here. You spend your hard-earned money on a vehicle, if somebody's going to torch it, wreck it, scratch it, they deserve to have the consequences to their action.
Now, let's get to the point when he asks her if she thinks it's right that he can't get a contract in South Africa because he's white. And of course, being a lefttoid, we know what she's going to do. Let's go of the visit the president Ramaposa is going to make to the White House. Do you recognize that as a conflict of interest? No, of course not. First of all, you should be questioning why is there why are there racist laws in South Africa? That's the first problem. That's what you should be attacking. Um it's improper for there to be racist laws in South Africa. Um the whole whole idea with what Nelson Mandela, who was a great man, proposed was that all all races should be on an equal footing in South Africa. that's the right thing to do, not to replace one set of racist laws with another set of racist laws, which is utterly wrong and improv. Um, so the that's that's the deal that all races should be treated equally. Um, and there should be no preference given to one or the other. Uh, whereas there are now 140 laws in South Africa that give u a pre that basically um give give strong preference to to if if you're a black South African and um not otherwise. And so now I'm in this absurd situation where I was born in South Africa but cannot get a license to operate in Starink because I'm not black. Well, it looks like it looks like you looks like that's about to change. I just asked you a question. Please answer. Does that seem right to you? Well, those rules were designed to bring those rules were designed to bring about an era of more economic equality in South Africa and it looks like the government has found a way around those rules for you. I ask you a question. This is this is your interview. Everyone wants to hear from you. Ask your question. Yes or no? Yes. Not not for me to answer. I have got a question for you about uh about your government work though and the amount of savings. I do like racist laws. This is not for me to answer. Come on. Now, you wouldn't be trying to dodge a question. You have to ask question. My question answer No, you answer mine. I think I think if you I'm sure you can have that conversation directly with the South African government if you want to. I want to ask you about the total I can't believe it. That's not good. I want to ask you about the total amount I want God forbid that you would just denounce all racism whatsoever. If it was another race of color, if Elon wasn't white, if he was a black guy, Muslim, anything but white, she would have agreed with them. But as we know, whites and Christian don't matter. They are not the preferred class of the globalists.
Now, let's get to the point where they talk about Doge. And she gets into some weird questioning here about if they're actually going to save the trillions that Elon Musk originally thought they were going to save. Not accepting the fact that they've already saved hundreds of millions of dollars. But yeah, that's not good enough. Let's get to it. Ask you about the total amount that you're planning to save through Doge's work. Before the election, you said it was going to be at least two trillion. The number currently on Doge.gov gov is $170 billion. That's a big change. What happened to the two trillion or do you expect it to happen immediately? Well, is it going to happen because supposed to run till next July? I mean, your question is absurd in in this fundamental premise. Um, are you assuming that that on day, you know, within a few months there's an instant two trillion saved? No, I'm not at all. I'm just asking is that still your aim then? Is it still aim to get the amount of time? Have we not made good progress given the amount of time? That's exactly what I'm asking. So, is it still your aim to go from 170 billion to two trillion? Um the the ability of Doge to operate is a function of whether uh the government and this includes Congress uh is willing to take our advice. Uh we are not the dictators of the government. We are the advisers and so we can we can advise and the progress we've made thus far I think is incredible. Doge team has done incredible work. Um but uh the magnitude of this the savings is proportionate to the support we get from Congress um and from the uh executive branch of the government in general. Um so we're not the dictators, we are the advisers. Um but thus far for advisers we've the George team to their credit um has made uh incredible progress. You've talked about4 billion dollars a day being saved, but that that won't get which is and I think everyone can agree that combating waste and inefficiency in government is a very good thing, but if you add that up, it's not going to get to two trillion over the lifetime of Doge. I'm sorry. The four billion the four billion a day if DOA is going to run till next July is not going to get you to two trillion dollars. But you still say it's your aim. So we'll take that as red. There's there's there's what do I mean I feel you're somewhat trapped in the uh NPC dialogue tree of a traditional ver uh journalist. So it's difficult to when I'm conversing with someone who's trapped in the val of a conventional journalist because it's like talking to a computer. Um so uh Doge is an advisory group. We are doing the best we can um as an advisory group. Uh the progress made thus far as an advisory group is excellent. Um I don't think any advisory group has done better in the history of advisory groups for the government. Um now uh we we we do not make the laws nor do we control the the judiciary nor do we control the executive branch. We are simply advisers. In that context we are doing very well. Um beyond that we cannot uh do we cannot take action beyond that because we are not some sort of imperial dictator of the government. there are three branches of government that u uh that are to some degree opposed to that level of cost savings. Um but nonetheless uh let's let's let's not uh criticize whether there's uh 4 trillion um and instead look at the fact that 160 billion has been saved and more will be saved too and as I said I think everyone can agree that cutting waste and indeed fraud in any government and being responsible with taxpayers money is a very good thing.
Now, let's get to the last bit where he cooks Bill Gates, which is my favorite part of this whole thing. Also, he's going to talk about his future plans and how much money he would invest in in candidates or in politics. Let's get it. Um, I do want to ask you about um US aid and the comments that Bill Gates made the other day, which and I know that you called him I know you you've said that already. I wondered also and I'm just where does who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children given that he was he frequented Jeffrey Epstein? Okay. Well, he's he's he said he regrets those that he spent a lot he spent a lot of his own money on uh on philanthropy around the world over the years. My question to you is, have you looked at the data to check if he might be right that the cuts to USID might cost millions of lives? Uh, yes. Um, I'd like him to show us any any evidence whatsoever that that is true. It's false. Um, the what we found with USAD cuts, and by the way, they haven't all been cut. the the parts of USA ID that were found to be uh even slightly useful were transferred to the State Department. So not they've not been deleted. They've simply been transferred to the State Department. Um but many many times over with USAD and other organizations when we've when they said oh well this is going to help you know uh children or it's going to help some um uh disease eradication or something like that. Um and then when we ask for any evidence whatsoever, um I say well please connect us with this group of children so we can talk to them and understand more about their issue. We get nothing. We we don't we don't even try to prevent show come up with a with a with a show orphan meaning like it's sort of like well can we at least see a few kids like where where are they if they're in trouble we'd like to talk to them and talk to their caregivers and then we get thing as a response because it's what we find is an enormous amount of of fraud and graft let me put this example very little of it actually gets to the kids if anything at Okay, let let me put this example to you because you grew up in South Africa so you'll know the impact of HIV AIDS well and this is why I asked about the data. The US led on international efforts to combat HIV AIDS treatment prevention and there's an initiative called PEPAR which is credited with saving 26 million lives in the last 20 years. It was part of the foreign aid freeze. Then there was a limited waiver. Its services are disrupted and UN aid says if permanently discontinued there will be another 4 million AIDS related deaths by 2029. So if you look at that example which is backed up by data in 2023 630,000 people died of AIDS related illnesses then perhaps Bill Gates's figures are not wrong. Millions of lives could be lost. Um I first of all the program the the the AIDS uh uh um medication uh program is continuing. So your fundamental premise is wrong. It is continuing. Now do you have another example? Elon not in its entirety. That is false. Not in its entirety. the the program there's a limited waiver and UN AIDS have said that not all of the services that were previously funded by USA ID are continuing. So that's that's why that's why I put that example to you. Okay. Well, which ones aren't being funded? I'll fix it right now. For Okay. Well, actually they're all on the UN UN AIDS website, so you'll be able to see them, but mostly they are to do with mostly they are to do with prevention and for example the roll out of a drug um called Glenn Capavir which was hailed as one of the biggest breakthroughs against AIDS for many years which came out last year. So if you are perhaps I'm sure UNA you would be delighted if you're able to look at that again. Yes. Well well if if if if in fact this is true which I doubt it is then we'll fix it. Okay, fine. Um, so finally political your political influence. I wondered whether you have decided yet how much you're going to spend on uh the the upcoming midterms. Is it you you spent a lot more money on the last US election than you envisaged when you were speaking here three years ago? Are you going to continue to to spend at that kind of level on future elections? Um I think um in terms of political spending um I'm going to do a lot less in the future. And why is that? I think I've done enough. Is it is it because of blowback? Well, if I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I do not currently see a reason. Okay. What about political influence beyond the US? How often do you speak to President Putin? I don't speak to President Putin. You've never spoken to President Putin? Um I I was on a video call with him once about 5 years ago. That's the only speak president President Putin. Oh, you must I get it. Believe the legacy. speak. Actually, I've heard you I've heard you speak about it. For example, in your West Point speech, you said, "Oh, I challenged President Putin to uh um to was it an arm wrestle?" And I know the Wall Street Journal has reported your uh reported conversations. If you're if you're saying they haven't happened other than once, I'll take that as red. Is is is there a worse publication on the face of the earth than the Wall Street Journal? I wouldn't use that to to line up my cage for paragraphs. um that that that newspaper is the worst newspaper in the world. Um and there's and you know if there's one newspaper that should be pro- capitalist, it's the one with Wall Street in the name. U but it isn't. So I I have the very lowest opinion of the Wall Street Journal. Absolutely nonsense. And you clearly believe the tribe that you've written that you've read in those papers.
Yeah. He's done what he wanted to do and he said this from the beginning. I remember when he first had Trump on X. They did an X live thing, whatever it's called, and they had Trump and a bunch of other people and there was a room quotequote room on X and they were talking and this was one of the first interviews that he did with Trump. And when he said that he thought that this was the most important election in his lifetime in American history for him and that's why he wanted to go all in on Trump and he was going to put money behind Trump because he thought that if Trump didn't win this time the woke left was just going to take over and we'd become multicultural England or something like that like the UK. So, he's been honest about this from the beginning about this was the election that he was going to go in all all in on. And like he said, if he sees a reason to do it in the future, sure, but let's assume things are going to go right. Trump won 2028, we get, I don't know, JD Vance for 8 years or something. Why would he need to fund more? I'm sure he's going to be a donor of some sort. He's got some of the biggest companies in America. He's the richest man in America, but I don't think we'll see him again doing what he did here, starting Doge and being around the present as much. There's no need. The work is done. I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did, smash that thumbs up button for your boy. Consider subscribing to the channel. Help it grow. I'll catch you in the next one. Peace out, everybody.
