00:00How do you get along?
00:01You and Elon Musk used to get along pretty well back in the day.
00:03Yeah.
00:04How are you getting along now?
00:06Have you talked about any of these?
00:07This is why we never – I need my chainsaw.
00:12I haven't talked to him lately.
00:16Unsurprising.
00:16But a lot of folks that knew him for decades haven't talked to him lately.
00:20I've talked to a lot of those folks comparing notes.
00:23And, you know, hopefully he comes back around and feels like he's been, you know,
00:30there's some new challenges he's facing.
00:33And I think, you know, one of them is fulfilling the expectations that he set for Doge,
00:41which seem unfulfilled.
00:44They haven't come close to the savings they've asserted.
00:47And even the savings they have asserted, when you stress test it, shows holes.
00:52So I think it's been very damaging, including, by the way,
00:56the fact that Doge cut $400 million from AmeriCorps.
01:03That was Sars Shriver in 1965, you know, the best of people coming together across their differences
01:12for shared experiences in service to our nation.
01:17That was a baton that was passed from Republican administrations to Democratic administrations.
01:22Just eliminated, wiped out $400 million while we're advancing our 16th lawsuit against the administration.
01:30If that's his legacy, it's tarnishing the legacy that he should otherwise be proud of,
01:37creating one of the world's great automobile companies and rocket companies.
