I don't know which to tackle first, Tim. The grift... Do you remember when it was like, oh, he might be building a Trump Tower in Abu Dhabi? Nobody even bothers to disguise it. And I do think, unlike Trump, people like the con man in Trump. I feel like that's why in some ways he was elected, because he cuts corners and does his own shit. People do not feel the same way about Elon Musk.

last week in front of the Treasury Department where there was a large protest. And there was no talk about Trump. It was all focused on Elon Musk.
