What did Elon Musk say about Kara and Scott?
On this week's episode of Net Worth and Chill, I'm chatting with internet sensation and everyone's favorite Philly influencer, Bran Flakes. He's a social media maverick and content creator turning viral moments into cold, hard cash. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on the Your Rich BFF YouTube channel.
Oh my God, I can't go to a sex movie with you. I just, that just flashed through my brain.
That wasn't on my bingo card either. So yeah, that's, that's not going to happen. Yeah.
Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I am the very cruel Kara Swisher.
And I'm the deceitful Scott Galloway.
Yeah, and we're both mean, right? We're both mean.
Yeah, I know. We're awful.
That one's accurate. Don't you think?
The revolution begins with two podcasts.
I know. So, I don't know about you, you know, but that was kind of something for Elon to attack us on the Twitter, where neither of us are over there, so we had to be told by people. We're like, what? Huh? What? Huh?
Wasn't that nice? Although I'm glad I didn't have to read, I guess there's 11 or 12,000 comments. The same thing happens whenever this happens. My guess is it wasn't talking about your gray hair and my broad shoulders. But whenever you're on tweets, the same thing happens. My phone starts blowing up. I'm like, are you all right? I'm like, oh, shit, did something bad happen? And then someone sent me a screenshot. And I'm like, I don't know. The thing about being off of Twitter is you realize how small it is. It's like, no, my life is absolutely no different. And the thing that that immediately came to mind is one of my favorite quotes of FDR is that I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.
I know it's so weird.
Let me just let me just add, though, these were my comments.
They were.
What is the significance of Musk's $97 billion bid for OpenAI?
And he goes after you. Of course. It's like, okay.
I'm always taking a bullet for you, Galloway.
I said these things, Elon, not Kara. And he's acting like these individuals. First off, can the guy not afford autocorrect? It's like his team or grammar, pick a struggle. And the notion that there's somehow these, he portrayed this team as being in Guantanamo Bay when the reality is they're on a Discord server figuring out if their logo or their meme should have sunglasses. I mean, to portray these kids as victims is just kind of hilarious. But I did feel bad that he went after you and not just me.
I know, of course. Well, I am pretty obnoxious about him all over the place. So it probably like glommed up into one thing.
He didn't say anything.
I know, but in general, on CNN, where I call him a toddler, an adult toddler on any day of the week and twice on Sunday or anything, just us threatening him. But here's the deal. First of all, all you said, and I tend to agree with, is, you know, from the reporting, the exceptional reporting by Wired, for example, these guys, a couple of them sound like a prick, right? And we said it. These people sound like pricks. They're doing something that's probably fun for them. They get to work for Elon Musk. They get to like raid the government or everything else. We just, we're like, this is not the way we should make sausage in our country. It's really gross how they're doing it this way. And they need to do it in a legal way. That's all we said.
And he tries to insinuate that we're threatening them. Because as I say, everything, every accusation is a confession by these fellas. And let me just read the thing again. for people who don't understand, he reposted a video of us talking about Doge employees in our last episode. Swisher and Galloway are threatening talented young software engineers who gave up high compensation for death threats in order to help American people. Shame on Swisher and Galloway, cruel, mean, and deceitful human beings that they are. First of all, They're going to make high compensation later, folks, by doing this. This ups the compensation level for them because they become legend among tech people, whatever, because they work for Elon, depending how it turns out. Also, they didn't trade it for death threats. Like they traded it because this is what they want to do. And they were enthusiastically doing it. And we don't have to like them. And just by not liking them, we're not threatening them.
