What are the highlights from the latest Coffee with Scott Adams?
Happened since last time I talked to you. Oh, yeah a lot of stuff Let's uh, look at our stocks They look to be up And the locals people gonna have a special comment section right here There you go Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take that experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains... All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Go. good stuff well I don't know if you heard but Elon Musk and President Trump are having some difficulty you probably read a million takes so it's time for mine the only one that matters number one Did you not think it would be impossible for Elon Musk to find a way to make his dealerships safe from all the domestic terrorists? Well, he did. The last thing that would be attacked by a Democrat today would be a Tesla dealership. So suddenly, total security with a few tweets. Now, I don't think that's why he did it. I also don't think that it's some kind of 5G chess.
I don't think it's some kind of agreement they made. It would be a weird kind of an agreement if they did. But let me give you my takes on it. First of all, I don't believe that there's a phone call scheduled for today, right? So at one point, we heard that Trump and Musk would be talking. But at the moment, it looks like that's not going to happen. Jonathan Karl is reporting that. But here's what I liked about the situation. Number one, I was kind of proud of the way Republicans, especially the big pundits, the way they were handling this. So instead of taking sides, people were just sort of expressing some kind of affection. They liked both. The most common comment was that it was like watching your parents fight. Now, that's a pretty good compliment.
And, you know, we've talked before how Democrats, they're a different animal. And Republicans are more forgiving about, you know, any bad thing that happened in particular. You know, if you still like the the person in general you're still good with them so i think that's part of it too so the the fact that republicans didn't want to throw either of them over the over the edge i like i like the fact that we can simply wish they weren't fighting and not have bad feelings about either one of them, especially. But a lot of people pointed out that when Musk accused Trump of having an Epstein connection, more so than what we already know, That that was too far. How many of you thought that? That maybe the other stuff was fair. You know, if he criticized the bill or he criticized something in the bill. But not that. Seemed too far, right?
Well, the first thing you have to know is that he started out by criticizing just the bill. And did that help? Does anybody remember the bill being rewritten because Elon criticized it? I don't. Now, what would you do if you're Elon Musk and you haven't gotten the attention you need which, by the way, I remind you, attention is the first step in persuasion. And when he was simply saying, hey, this doesn't cut the budget enough, no attention. I mean, a little bit, but it didn't change anything. So he went to a level of risk and controversy that you and I probably would never have gone to. How much of that is the secret of his success? Because when you talk about Musk, you tend to talk about how smart he is.
But the other things that make him successful is that he's not willing to take no for an answer. He doesn't recognize game over. He's willing to sleep on the floor and he's willing to take enormous risks to get something that he believes in is a solution to an existential problem. So here's what I think. My armchair psychologist says that he might be bipolar. Now, he said that himself.
