Well, Ben, we know who this guy is, right? I was governor back in 2019 and 2020 when he was in his first term. And I can tell you that my experiences back then and, of course, the man's history would tell you that he doesn't live up to his promises, that he doesn't give a darn about really any of the people that he represents.

And I knew that we had to start on day one as Democrats to rebuild and remind people who we are as a Democratic Party and what we stand for. Because he sort of during the election obscured so much of what he really is about. Somehow the campaign last year just wasn't able to get across what our fundamental values are as Democrats. So that's why I was immediate about it.

Well, I will say, at least for me, I expected it. I think we're living in a kleptocracy now. It's clear that Elon Musk is trying to benefit himself while he's also exercising powers that he was never supposed to be granted. The Constitution certainly doesn't give someone unelected like that the amount of power that he's got. And you're watching as he benefits himself, harms his enemies.
