Full Episode
Congress member Jared Moskowitz, just want to start off by asking you how you holding up there in Washington, D.C. How are things going there?
Hi, Ben. Do you know something that I don't know? I haven't been watching the news over the last couple of weeks. Is something been going on? I mean, I'm doing fine. So but you wanted to talk to me during lunchtime. So I hope you don't mind if I just, you know, pour myself some wine. eat while we talk, I'm sure everything is fine then.
You know, I'm sure. You seem to be a-okay, but Congress member, we... We absolutely.
Is there something going on in D.C.
that we absolutely need you in the fight? So let me start off by asking you this question, though, which is Elon Musk. There was a declaration that was submitted either on his behalf or by the federal, by the Trump White House, basically saying Musk is not running Doge or he's not an employee of Doge, but he's an advisor to the White House. You sit on the Doge subcommittee. What is Elon?
What's his role if he's saying that he's not actually working for Doge?
Well, we don't we don't know. Right. And I'm a part of the Doge caucus. I joined very early because I do believe Americans don't want the status quo with government. I do believe government become more efficient. First of all, they're using computer systems from like decades ago. OK, so I do think government become more efficient. And I do think we can probably save a lot of money in government.
And if you look at some of the things that Doge has found, by the way, these programs go back decades. In the government, Democrat and Republican administrations, Democrat and Republican Congress. And so I do think the American people want to see us save money. But we don't know Elon's day to day role or his involvement. We've not had that transparency. Now, Elon, look, Elon's a very smart guy.
We can't take that away from him. He's created some unbelievable technologies. There's no doubt about that. And and he feels very comfortable in his ability tweeting or X-ing, whatever we call it nowadays, you know, three, four hundred times a day. So probably he should come to Congress and tell us he doesn't think much of us or any of our abilities. So he shouldn't be afraid to come.
