You know, America is still a very conservative country. And one of the main ingredients of the success of Trump in the last election was really his social policies. Many people in America believe that America went too much to the left. So I think getting back America to center, at least to center, not necessarily to the right, to center, that in itself is a big achievement for America.
It's nonsense. It's nonsense. And this transgender idea right now, I mean, having in the military all those transgender people, you know, and toilets, you know, having being mixed and, you know, having, for example, a male who was transferring the lady to go and compete into women's sports. It's too much. It's going too far. It's too much.
I mean, we reached a stage in America, if you're not woke, I mean, you are crazy or you are anti-establishment. It's too much. It's going too far. So I think what Trump is doing right now is at least moving to the center. We are not against LBGTQ, even the plus, whatever the plus means. What is the plus? That's the scary part. I would rather not talk about it.
Oh, we're not talking about it. That's very scary. Yeah. The plus. LBT, you understand. But the plus, that's, you know, we can have another interview for that. Let's put this aside. I'm comfortable with that. Thank you very much.
I lived in America. And when I was in America, you know, I mean, you have left wing, right wing, that's fine. Yes. But to go that much to the left and have this woke movement, no, it went too far. Look, America leads the world. I understand there are, you know, China wants to be there, India wants to be there, the Europeans want to be there.
At the end of the day, America is leading the world, whether you like it or not. no matter how isolationist policies are adopted in America, America will still lead the world for many years to come. Yes. Politically, economically, financially, in all cases. So we want America to lead the right way. You cannot lead the world with this woke movement. You cannot. We will not accept that.
You know, our main investment was with Fox, frankly speaking. Yes. With Mr. Murdoch. Murdoch was always, you know, mainstream to the right a little bit, obviously. So we did have a lot of other investments, small ones, but they were all devastated a long time ago. Yeah. But our main investment in all media, legacy media, was with Mr. Murdoch.
And we sold out, you know, a year before he merged his entities with Disney. Disney. Yes. So no, left, in the media, in America, went too much to the left. And most of them. The only remaining soldier, frankly speaking, who really withstood the heat is the Murdoch Empire. Whether it's Fox, New York Post, Wall Street Journal, and Fox. They are all, you know, center of the right.
Most of our investments now went to X and XAI. Obviously, with Musk. Now, you know, I call XLA as the new media, frankly speaking. X. That's why we invested. And with Mr. Musk, I think, you know, he's a big force to be reckoned with, frankly speaking. And we are second biggest shareholder in X and XAI.
Yeah, on our books, we have two investments. We have Kingdom Holding, which I share. Yes. And I have my private investments. So we have with Musk around $3 billion. Yes. In our books, it's valued more than 50% more. Clearly, as for X, we never devalued it. Some entities did devalue it by 30%, 40%, 50%. We never devalued it.
Clearly, now after the election of President Trump and after the strong alliance between Musk and President Trump, we've seen the market having... revalue upwards extremistically, at least to its part value at the $44 billion that they paid for it. What do you think its actual value is? I believe the actual value is more than double, frankly speaking. More than double the 44 he paid. Exactly.
And it's going to happen right now because videos are going to come. And, you know, now pay is going to come into it. You know, they're going to pay X. It's going to happen right now in the first quarter. So many things are going to happen to X to have as the main hub and anchor for many things around it.
As it stands today, I believe X is really number one. We've seen how Meta tried to have another company, Thread, but it didn't take off. Why? Look, I think X really began very forcefully and strongly. And the freedom of speech was there, was open, you know. Clearly, whenever it was against X, freedom of speech and freedom of expression without much fact-checking,
That gave it the forum to be the anchor of the new media in the world. And you see right now, Meta is moving the X model. As I told you when I just met you off the record a minute ago, that Meta now is being exercised. It's being like X right now. And this helps X reaching its potential of being fully valued at $44 billion and more.
So all the advertisers that really so-called fled or left X are coming back right now because the alternative is doing exactly what X used to do.
There's no doubt because we have seen now Mark Zuckerberg and Meta is moving to the X model. Not only that, you know, not only operationally, but you have seen just lately that Meta is going to move this so-called administrative headquarters from Delaware to Texas. So really, Musk and X being followed across the board.
Well, you know, I look, Musk is very close to the leader of the whole world, President Trump. And no one wants, no businessman, whether it is Mark Zuckerberg or Mr. Bezos or the Google head, want Musk to be the only man who has the ear of President Trump. They all want to have at least a small piece of the pie. Yes. And that's what's happening, basically.
Why do you think they did that? It was a long bet. Yeah. Very bluntly speaking, it was a long bet. Trump came back in a major upset. He must have scared the hell out of them when he got elected. I mean, no one expected Trump to come back, frankly speaking. And frankly speaking, the Democrats played a very big mistake. They cast a mate. You know, I talk as an independent. I'm a Saudi.
I'm a royalist, neither Democrat or Republican. You know, I love America. They clearly custom made those lawsuits against them to be in election year. And I understand it's very delicate. Not many people in America could speak this language freely. But they custom made it to be in election year. And that backfired, frankly speaking, and helped Trump being elected. Yes.
You know, and they custom made to be. I mean, why wait three years after Trump left and they all came, those lawsuits, in the last one year of the Biden era? I was too much. So you didn't see that as the equal application of the law? Come on, give me a break. That's very clear. I lived in America. I know America very well. It's too much politics.
