In December, I had a family member who was like, well, kind of California Democrat. Well, maybe I'll buy a Tesla. I don't love Elon. But now, the idea of buying a Tesla just seems crazy, I think, for liberals, at least. Yeah.

It is striking. I mean, I feel like we're so just through the looking glass, but the idea of the president being like, look, my buddy's company is in trouble. You got to go buy, buy, buy. Yeah, I mean, I think you're right. I mean, there are... It strikes me as a sort of a weak point, a weak moment for Elon.

A lot of these agencies previously did not have heads or people were kind of the cabinet heads were just getting in control of them.

And so they don't care about these kind of hack and slash things that they know are going to just anger people and get them kicked out of office or lose control of Congress quicker. And so that's kind of the fracture point.
