And this is that is so much power.
Like, it's just it's hard to quantify.
It's literally like like if you think about it in your mind, right, like you think about like how much money Elon Musk has.
And then just to think that one year of federal spending is like squishing him like an ant.
Like, it's nothing, dude.
Like, the money Elon Musk has is nothing compared to $7 trillion, you know?
That's just one year, what they spend in Washington, D.C.
And when you have that much concentrated power, the idea of saying, well, we're going to write a rule that says nobody's allowed to try to manipulate that power.
Okay, and then you know look there are rules.
There's all types of funny way to put it because it's like so undeniable Well look there there are rules that say that like foreigners aren't allowed to contribute to Political campaigns and like there's different regulations on all of them But like Saudi Arabia is not allowed to give Hillary Clinton's campaign ten million dollars
But they could give the Clinton Foundation $10 million.
So, like, you write these rules, they find another way to do it.
By the way, all that money, the Clinton Foundation was making so much money until right around 2016...
Everyone stopped donating to it.
It's just so weird like the Saudis were really into charity Until right around that so the the point is that you can't the only thing like like it's not the lesson of The Lord of the Rings wasn't like we really need some common-sense regulations about how you use this ring The lesson
Is that you have to destroy this thing.
I'm not saying that's easy.
