Okay. Okay. But so if you're like someone who is predisposed to Musk's worldview and you're somebody who feels like the media is liberal, which I don't disagree with, but you feel like the media is literally working with Democrats to lie to people, which is something I do disagree with.

Like, this looks like at some point Joe Biden was like, we need to pay Reuters, the news agency, money to deceive people. Give them the money and we'll write them in the budget. And Musk went through and was like, this is wrong. And like, if you take him at his word, this is what you think happened.

Honestly, all these fact checks, they probably weren't. Polling published just this week shows that a majority of Americans support Doge. 54% say it should influence government spending. 51% approve of Trump's cuts to federal agencies.

But that's also why the story about the State Department Teslas seems to Bobby like such an obviously big deal. If Trump's State Department was planning to send $400 million to Tesla, that sure looked like, at best, waste, at worst, corruption. The problems Elon's Doge commission had promised to eradicate.

After a short break, an anonymous source reaches out to Bobby Allen. Welcome back to the show. So that press conference with Musk in the Oval Office explaining that the glare of public attention would keep him honest, that happened in early February, the day before Ryan Grim's story about the mysterious $400 million Tesla line item was published.
