You can give a bazillion dollars. The American people have a certain amount of wisdom in them. They're not dummies. They vote for things. I mean, Elon Musk put in, I mean, George Soros, by the way, put in money to the other campaign too.
And Reid Hoffman and, you know... We never hear about their billions they dropped into that Wisconsin State Supreme Court race.
Please. Yeah, and Randy Fine was outspent 10 to 1, and he won. You know, I mean, I think that Elon, and I've heard this from a lot of Republicans, that they worry about him as a messenger in person. I mean, he's not the most magnetic person. Well, let me ask you something.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I mean, a couple of things is that, you know, he should have anticipated this. I mean, this is not going to work for Donald Trump in the way that he did is not the same, obviously, as going to work for Mitt Romney. I mean, it inspires a different level of hatred and bile from people. Look, I have a Tesla.
I was sitting in my car the other day because there's street cleaning in New York and I was moving. And a guy came up and knocked on my window. And I rolled down the window and he said, you gotta get rid of this car. And I was like, taking a back bite. I was like, so every time I go out, I look to see if it's been keyed.
I mean, I live in a neighborhood that I think in, if it was like in the center of Caracas, people would be like, it's a little too left wing. So I'm like expecting the thing to go up in flames at any point. But you're right.
I mean, look, in the break, we were just talking about, I saw this number and, you know, year on year, I think it was January and February in Europe, Tesla's sales are down 43%. I mean, they're down not as much in the U.S., but they're down considerably.
You know, the idiot, worst person in the world, Brad Lander, who, if you know anything about New York politics, I know Matt hates him with the passion that I do. He's going to sue Tesla on behalf of shareholders, like because of the pension fund. in what he's doing to the share price, et cetera. So yeah, he's being rounded on in every possible direction.
And I think that, you know, you gotta get back to your company. I mean, you're the richest man in the world, but for how much longer if you make a product become, and look, it's just a fact of politics, that divisive. I mean, it's going to be a divisive thing. I mean, I- where we do the Moynihan report show for two way, there's a Tesla dealership right around the corner.
And I went outside yesterday and there was a huge protest in front of it. I mean, it's like pretty unrelenting. And if you are a stockholder, I mean, you've lost a significant amount of money on this stock, depending when you bought it, you know?
Dude, you could park a Hyundai and it would be set on fire in Oakland.
Did you hear Chuck Schumer after he decided that 25 hours was quite enough? And he was like, the American people owe you the greatest thanks. You know, the world, Mars owes you thanks. You are the best. And it's like, why? Because he just rambled for 25 hours? No one says that to me. I talk nonstop. Like for nothing, too. The exact same thing as him. And I never get accolades for it. Jesus.
No, it says anything. I love the fact this is the Democratic Party now. The conversation that everyone's having, which is the right conversation, is that there's no policy, that you guys have screwed things up. How are you going to recalibrate? And the idea is to have Cory Booker, the most insufferable person in a building full of insufferable people, talk for 25 hours.
I would literally vote for American Communist Party before I vote for the Democrats after watching that. I tried to watch some of it. I just had no idea what he was talking about. What's going on with these deportations?
Yeah, he probably charged you $400,000 for all of those things to be wrong about everything. Can I confess something that I've never said to anyone? Oh, please. I vomited in his house. I'm not joking. I interviewed him and I got sick afterwards.
And I think it might is actually true. It might have been because of the content of the conversation. I'm not sure. But yeah, I've never talked about that. but that's true. Doesn't he have a replica of the White House or something like that?
Yes, in the Lincoln bedroom, and he has a replica of the Monica Lewinsky dress hanging.
It's just like Kid Rock.
Yeah, no, you have a lot in common with him, Camille. He's a big sneakerhead, so yeah, that's what else I found out, too. Well, I mean, that's not a lot in common.
