It's like Atlanta. Yeah, everything shuts down. No, all the way they were talking in the South about the snow coming, because I did have to cancel. What am I talking about? I had to cancel a show in Charlotte because of it. I ended up doing the Saturday, but they shut it down, even though they ended up really not having any snow that night.
But they basically deal with snow the same way in Atlanta where you are as they do in Ireland. There's no difference.
Well, I mean... There's something going on with the guy, right? Because he's a little loony. Well, he's become insanely obsessed with the MAGA agenda. And listen, you like Trump and you like MAGA. I think that's fine. I agree. He's the only... I don't, by the way.
I agree that it's your right to support... No, I know, but I was just clarifying that because I actually got attacked on TikTok. I had a very centrist take about just the way the internet works. I wasn't even really taking a position, but I still got attacked. Of course. I actually got attacked for basically not taking a stand. Anyway...
We get it all the time. I get it all the time. You can't win for losing. You just can't win. But the thing about Elon is he's the only insanely wealthy billionaire or those high, high billionaire group that's just gone all in. A lot of them, obviously, right now, they're pandering, they're cow-towing, they're trumpeting. But he's just admitted his whole personality. He's tweeting all day.
There's just something not... quite right and i i'm sorry but like i can't get behind supporting the afd in germany and i think it's all a bit dangerous and whatever agree right i agree yeah So the rest of the take is that, so all that aside, that I was already like, what's going on with this guy?
And just like the misinformation that he puts out or just like the simplistic whataboutism that's just like so not helping the debate. It's just so indicative of the problem, you know? You're so right on. And then he... I literally think he was trolling. I think it's not a safe way to troll. I think it's like really a problematic way to troll because I think he knew what he was doing.
And I think he just kind of thought it would be hilarious to sort of like do it in a way where he could try to say that he wasn't. And it was just like, listen, he owns a platform that thrives on this type of conflict. And so for me, it's like, You're one of the smartest guys in the world. You're incredibly wealthy, incredibly successful.
Like, it would require the most incredible stupidity to not know that it's just like the one thing that you don't do unless... You wanted to. Or if you really were that dumb to do it stupidly in that way, that you wouldn't immediately come out and be like, you know, I got excited and I'm just not great at like showing love because I didn't come from the hip hop community or something.
But he didn't even do that, which shows me that he's trolling. And the whole thing is that everyone jumps on it. You're saying he's a Nazi. It's like, no, I mean, I'm not really saying he's a Nazi. I mean, he's showing like fascist tendencies or like he's showing like to be at least slightly enamored with fascism. I don't mean fascism like... Hitler, Nazis.
I mean, fascism historically, because there's been many. Pinochet, Franco. There's been plenty of Stalin. And across all parts of economic belief systems, there has been fascism. So I'm not saying, oh, he's like Hitler, even though he happened to do the Hitler salute. But he has been flirting with fascism. But I don't think he's really like a Nazi. But I do think that he was trolling.
Yeah, I agree with you.
Yeah, I mean, he definitely has some hero worshiping going on because, you know, you can see by the comments, like some people are just immediately annoyed. Now, the one, I guess, like slightly... I don't know, what put my mind at ease a little bit is within a couple of days, like a calmer, more honest analysis of what went down came out.
But just like the fires in L.A., just like all the big stories, the first two days are everybody jockeying for position on everything. The biggest take, and the biggest takes often rely on just fake news. I agree. Trump's favorite term, but he only cares about fake news related to him. He doesn't care about fake news related to anything else. But again, I'm not even just singling out Trump there.
I'm singling out everybody. Everybody's using... just quick takes that have not been researched. So the first two days of all stories, I find, are, like, not where the information is. You calm down. Like, even Shane Gillis, I saw, had, like, a nuanced take on Elon. He literally said... Because, like, you know, Shane doesn't take actually hard political positions.
I like Shane's take on a lot of things. And I could see a lot of the... What do they call it? There's a... But anyway, the bro-sphere, you know?
The bro sphere.
Yeah, that sphere. Yeah. I think largely was immediately taken the, because they like, there's a trolldom there that they like, which is like, oh, this will irritate all the woke people that Elon did this. But eventually, like even somebody like Shane Gillis is like, it's hard to defend. Like you gotta, like it's all well and good to be like, what are you talking about?
Of course I wasn't given the Nazi salute. Well, it's like, well then apologize because it clearly is. Yeah, absolutely. And then the other thing I want to say is that a lot of Jewish groups came out saying he's a big supporter of Israel and he's clearly not a Nazi. And it's like, okay, I'll 100% accept that.
However, you're just making the assumption that his target of hate isn't a whole new crop of people. Just because he's down with the Jews and Israel doesn't mean that he's not going to other a bunch of people and use the fascist handbook, which is we have an enemy within and we need to destroy it for the purity of our nation.
