I'm a hundred percent on, on, uh, on team Elon for what he did for Twitter. And you're right about it, getting the ball rolling. He made it easy for all of Silicon Valley, you know, Mark Andreessen, David Sachs, Jason Kalkanis, other big names in Silicon Valley. And he made it easy for, you know, young people tend to identify with that and, and, and with sort of that, that cohort.

We had the CEO of Uber writing a pretty hilarious explanation of how he went from never Trumper to pro Trump. And now back to Elon. When I talk about being on Team Elon, you know, I don't want to have – I want people to understand that there are shades of gray in everything. We're not always all going to agree on every issue, and the H-1B issue is one of those.

But Elon showed some ability to compromise there. And – The bigger point, if we didn't have Twitter, Charlie, we didn't have anything. I mean, you've got an army. I mean, there's a Charlie Kirk army. There's a Benny Johnson army. There's an Elon army. And these armies went to work in the final three months. leading up to November.

And I'm convinced, you know, I really believe that there's social pressure involved in voting and people talk to their friends. And I'm convinced that that social pressure had finally sort of abated, that you weren't allowed to talk about voting for Trump and weren't allowed to to support President Trump publicly.

So I agree with you that, you know, the day that he first mentioned, hey, maybe I should buy Twitter, you and I both know what that meant. We could sort of see ahead and it turned out better than we could have imagined. And, you know, and I'll throw it back by saying, you know, it's correct. Other than, I can't think of his name now.

Other than Reid Hoffman, we had Zuckerberg, we've had Bezos, all led by Elon Musk. And it's just a fantastic feeling. Last thing I'll say is it gives me hope.

JD, yeah. So JD Vance, you remember- You're a junkie like you remember all this. You remember when J.D. was running third in the Ohio Senate Republican primary about two months before that primary. So when you mentioned sort of believing in him first for the Senate, like there were dark days. It's an amazing four or five years for J.D. and what's happened.

Here's the thing that people don't remember. How did it sort of come about that J.D. became the vice presidential nominee? People think back. It all happened at the People's Convention in June of last summer. If people remember, that was around June 13th, June 14th, I believe. And there were a lot of names being thrown around at that point.
