It's not elder abuse to be honest about what you're observing, especially when it comes to the most powerful role in America.

I think you're right about maybe some of the issues where folks will get much more precise on these issues. But I actually think what's happening is that this is really going to be about Trump versus Kamala Harris. I don't think Biden is going to step down at all, but I do think there's a chance that non-trivial chance that Biden wins.

And if he does, I don't think he's going to make it four years. And so then the real question is, do folks want Kamala? And have they had a chance to really figure out whether they want to vote for her or not? I think that's really where it's going to come down to. It's really Trump versus Kamala Harris.

I just think that without saying anything bad about Kamala, because I don't know much about her, is really what I would say is I don't know much about her. And so you can't have somebody who gets into that role accidentally. I think we have to give both President Trump and President Biden a lot of credit, which is they stood in the eye of the hurricane and withstood all the pressure and won.

And he who wins that way deserves to be the president of the United States. She hasn't withstood that. And so I think that it's pretty unfair for a lot of voters if there is a bait and switch. And so I think that you have to look at both of these two candidates and assign a reasonable probability that both of them make it to the finish line.

And from at least what I saw up close, I think it's a much higher probability that Donald Trump does than President Biden does.

It's kind of odd that we're in this crazy place. Same here. When that original package was unveiled, there was a lot of people, including me, who thought, there's no way he's going to hit this. It's just way too aggressive, and it requires so many things to go right. And so I think in part, that's why three quarters of the Tesla shareholders approved it then. 73% is not squeaking over the line.

It's not 50% plus a vote. It's a super majority. And that excluded Kimball and Elon shares. Exactly. And then I think you have this very dangerous form of judicial activism, which essentially ignored the will of the shareholders to and tried to create some administrative ruling that threw up this big question mark.

So then in typical Elon style, he's like, great, we're just going to get them to vote it again. And then yet again, it passes and it looks like it's going to pass by around 73%. But the problem now is that it's still not clear what happens. I think that there's still some question marks where this may not nullify the judge's decision. It may actually create more question marks.

So hopefully this gets sorted out. He should get this stock. He never should have, or these options, he never should have had them taken away. And so I just hope this thing, it becomes a nothing burger.
