What is the main topic of this episode?
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that Here's a cup, a mug, a glass, a tank, a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine of the day makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Go. So good. So good. Well, there's nothing that makes me happier than watching President Trump mock Rosie O'Donnell. So yesterday, by coincidence, after Rosie O'Donnell announced that she's moving to Ireland, the Prime Minister of Ireland was in the White House. And the President's talking to the Prime Minister, and Trump says, quote, Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people. Why in the world would you let Rosie O'Donnell move to Ireland? Why would you let her move?
She's going to ruin the whole country. Well, I've got one data point that's not scientific, but according to Matt Van Swall, he was just talking to, I guess yesterday, He was talking to a sales rep for Tesla, and the sales rep said it's one of the busiest days they've ever had for sales. So after Trump bought his Tesla, a lot of people apparently followed suit. So Tesla had one of his best days ever. I have a feeling that's going to continue for a little while. So we'll see. You know, one of the biggest the biggest changes for Tesla is it did seem like it was a little bit of a climate change lover kind of a car. So I think Republicans were a little bit, you know, I'll take my gas powered truck. Thank you. I don't need your electric cars.
But now that it's so clearly a political thing, there are a whole bunch of Trump lovers are saying, oh yeah, it's a great car. Are you kidding me? Everybody wants one. So if you add the Democrats who just like a good car, To the Republicans who might buy one partly for political reasons, it could actually end up being good for Tesla. Net, maybe. We'll see. Could go either way. Well, Mike Johnson, House Speaker Mike Johnson. He says that Congress is going to investigate, quote, the domestic terrorism against the Tesla dealerships and charging stations because there's been vandalism and destruction and set fires and all that stuff. And, yeah, domestic terrorism. That's exactly right. At what point does the domestic terrorism, though, become a RICO?
Does it have to be, like, do you have to steal something to make it RICO? But if you have a large, organized, well-funded group whose job it is to destroy these Tesla places, even if they don't have directions to, say, set it on fire or vandalize it, they know it's happening. So if the organizers know that their actions will cause vandalism at various places, at what point does it become RICO? if we have visibility to the entire funding apparatus and everything else. So Elon Musk is trying again to get the courts to agree to his $56 billion Tesla pay package that was disapproved by a lower court. And the thing that occurred to me today is if he gets a $56 billion payday, do you know how much taxes that means?
So, you know, I don't know his whole tax situation, but it could be 37% of that goes to federal taxes. It would be one of the greatest gains for the government in terms of paying down the debt. Almost nothing would be more, you know, immediately impactful than just paying Elon Musk the amount that he's owed. And then he's going to pay billions of dollars in taxes, I think. Speaking of Elon, I guess yesterday they tried to launch the rocket to go get the astronauts that are stranded on the International Space Station, but they had a little technical problem. It looks like they might try again on Friday morning. And I'm wondering, will Democrats come out in favor of leaving them stranded? Now, that sounds like a joke, right?
Oh, the Democrats disagree with everything, no matter how logical it is. So maybe they'll be opposed to Elon Musk saving the lives and rescuing the astronauts. But Biden actually was opposed. That's a real thing. And one imagines that Biden wasn't the only one. He just didn't want Elon Musk to get a win. So he left his astronauts up there.
