I think it's one of the things that Donald Trump did this time around, which is pretty smart, is he's not beholden. He's a billionaire. But if people want to support him, he wasn't saying no either. So I think that you want to change the country.

be at once not just living in your own echo chamber and satisfying yourself and patting yourself on the back for doing what made you feel like you were sending the right virtue signal but at the same time stay true to your principles at the same time too so i think that's the way i think about it you gotta like trump focus on impact trump got a lot of money from elon do you feel like that's maybe a conflict of interest of the amount of influence elon has

He won in 2016 with effectively an FU to the system that tried to stop him. And that's what the people... viewed as the attractive quality to put him there. He's a multi-billionaire, right? So he doesn't need that money. No, he really is. I mean, there's no doubt about it in terms of where he is today. And so I think that's all else equal a good thing. Now, do I prefer a system?

And you have George Soros, you have a bunch of other people on the left that, by the way, they used to say the same thing in 2010. Corporations are not people. Citizens United, we don't want that until we got the Soros checks and then we're not going to worry about that any longer. And, you know, I think that Would I rather have a check and balance in that system than not? Yeah.

He tried to run for U.S. president spending like boatloads of money. It just, it like just didn't work, actually. You have candidates even this last time around that have had boatloads of money trying to... You're never gonna, a turd is always gonna weigh more than the money that could lift it.
