Jimmy Dore: USAID Is A “CIA Front” At Heart Of The Blob & Should Be Dismantled – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 456

He went from being a golden boy because he was the environmentalist dream. He was making electric cars popular. And then they hated him overnight, just like that. The same thing they did with Bobby Kennedy. He went from being an environmentalist a hero to their movement to, you know, and then to boom just overnight, they got everybody to hate him and think he was crazy and nuts.

And, uh, so they're doing the same thing. And that's what he liked. That's what Elon derangement syndrome. And now again, I, again, Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world. Um, I, I, I'm skeptical of his motives, but like I said before, it doesn't matter what his motives are. We'll know him by his fruit and we'll see what he produces.

And when he does something like come out and about the H-1B visas, and I think he misrepresented it a hundred percent. H-1B visas isn't about bringing in the brightest. We already have another program for that. That was just, and so I criticized him mercilessly over that. And I, him and Vivek, who I, you know, I like certain things about both of those guys.

But when he does something, I'll criticize him. And when he does something good, like expose corruption, I'll also report that. I'm not going to have an Elon derangement. I'm not going to let people's hatred for Elon Musk or my skepticism for the billionaire class wrap me up by critical thinking skills. Do I think billionaires can do some things good sometimes? Yes.

No. It's worth a read. You'll feel like you know him much, much, you understand him much better if you read particularly the first 100 pages or so. A couple hundred pages, really. But he is different than you imagine. He's kind of different. And he is, the one thing I learned is he is absolutely, there's a relentlessness about him that I've really never seen in another human being.

It's an abject relentlessness. He doesn't stop until he gets where he needs to go. He's not always clear where he's going, but he knows his compass is headed in the right direction. There's stories about him sleeping under his desk or sleeping on the floor of the factory. Yeah, all the time. That's what he does.

He just stays on stuff until... And by the way, I'm sure he's sacrificing a lot by helping us up with our government. I really do. The guy was... He was an essential feature at SpaceX and Tesla, and he's not there. He's busy helping us untangle our government. And that's sort of one of his great assets, right?
