I mean, eventually they'll have jobs. But no one talked about the economical and financial impact of having, firing 6,500 people on Twitter. They saved more than $2 billion.

So if Mr. Musk duplicate that, on what he's doing right now with the U.S. budget, and he can save hundreds of billions of dollars, forget $2 trillion, maybe that's a bit too extreme, but he can save hundreds of billions of dollars, and you can have America reduce its budget deficit dramatically, let alone to have it balanced, that'd be a huge achievement.

Huge achievement for Mr. Musk personally, and for the U.S. administration, Trump, and the U.S. people. You think he can do it? Look, he's a bulldozer. I know him very well. And when I talk to him, the guy is just so straight to the point, you know, no nonsense at all. If there's anyone to do it, frankly speaking, it's Musk through the dodge.

Clearly, each one has a huge ego for sure, and rightly so. They have to have an ego. Nothing wrong with that at all. And I really sincerely hope that they can function together. Musk is a very pragmatic person, logical person, because he has a mission. He wants to cut the cost in the US system, in the US budget system, and he wants to really balance the budget as much as he can.

He told me that personally in my last phone call with him. And I believe he's given the tools, and he's given the tools, frankly speaking, and I hope they're all successful for them, frankly speaking. We all love the United States. We want America to have strong footings. You cannot be strong if you have all these budget deficits and trade deficits, and that will make you limp eventually.
