Remember when they did that EV summit and they didn't invite him? That was just nakedly political because he's not on their team. Right. So look, I mean, the Biden-Harris administration, look, it's blue no matter who. And Elon has drifted from being sort of independent and not aligned to- He was blue. He was blue. Let's call it what it is.

I mean, he voted for Hillary and Obama, he said.

He's no longer team blue. And so they're punishing him for this. Yeah. And it's costing taxpayers a huge amount of money. I think this is one of the worst decisions by the current administration. And if Trump gets in there, he should reverse it on day one.

Well, we need to investigate. I mean, I think how we got to the point of wasting $50 billion- That requires an investigation, I think.

Well, that's such a good point. I remember back in the day, 60 Minutes used to do these segments on waste, fraud, and abuse at the Pentagon, different parts of the government. $42 billion just spent on something that really taxpayers could have for free or without the government getting involved.

And $42 billion that was lining someone's pocket when the service doesn't even work, that would have been a scandal. And the media would have covered it. But the media doesn't even cover it these days. And again, it's because the media has become so tribal that it's better dead than red and blue no matter who.

And so because the media would have to admit that Elon's already solved this problem, they just can't go there. They won't even cover this. And so we have no accountability. There's no accountability on the government.

And the incentives really matter. If you look at a private company, if you were at Klarna, and to our previous story, and you go to the boss and say, I know how to get rid of these, this wasteful spending we're doing here, we can get rid of all tier one calls with AI and save that money, you get a promotion. If you're in the government, he

You can't, if you're a politician and you cut this program, your constituents get upset, you don't have that stuff being built in your district, there's a perverse incentive that you can't buy the votes, which is why these folks are constantly trying to buy votes. And then the second-

And we have to celebrate it. That's the key. If we can celebrate people saving money again, like Malay is getting a lot of credit. And that's up to us, leadership and podcasting or the media, or influential people have fallen. So if you point out, hey, this is a waste, go save this money, and somebody does save the money.
