She used to be a great pop star back in her 20s, but now she's just a total embarrassment. But I don't really think she's, like, I don't call her, by the definition of what you're after, is that a dangerous, bad person? No, it's an attention-seeking, increasing irrelevance. You know, bad people are bad actors in the world.

are people who genuinely have a malevolent worldview that they have the ability to execute. You know, when you think back to what ISIS were doing, for example, for the first 20 years of this century, that's inherently evil what they were doing. And you can call out the leaders of ISIS and say you are inhuman, subhuman, evil people.

Well, yeah, I would come to that. So you have the obvious bad actors on the world stage. In terms of people who are running countries, my biggest problem is not that they're bad, it's that they're incompetent, which can be as bad. But when I hear Elon Musk talk about this a lot, he's so brilliantly competent.

He operates at such a high level of competence that he finds incompetent people incredibly irritating. And I know exactly what he means. I think if you look around leadership around the world, there's a lot of incompetent people. I don't necessarily think they're bad. I mean, Angela Merkel's a good example, right? I wouldn't say she was a bad person. She's not unintelligent.

She just turned out to be incredibly incompetent and caused a lot of mayhem for her country, despite being lauded in real time. Jacinda Ardern, remember the Prime Minister of New Zealand... was lauded as a COVID heroine because of all her extreme lockdown views and so on and so on. But history has not been kind to her either. So I think a lot of people, it comes down to basic competence.

One of the problems of Boris Johnson here in this country was he's just a general shambolic character. The level of competence seemed very low. Trump first time around seemed chaotic and therefore stroked potentially a problem for competence. This time he's surrounding himself with incredibly high performing competent people like Elon. That's what makes it really interesting to me.
