1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: To America. We go, Mitch, we can good morning, Good morning.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 2: How are you, Andrew. I'm well.

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Elon Must's time at Doze could be coming to an end.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a big story and it's only come

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: out very recently this morning. Now, Tesla stock has suffered

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: brutal blows already this year. In the first four months

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: of the year, or first three months of the year rather,

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: its stock has been down thirty six percent right, and

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: this morning the company announced that sales or deliveries of

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: its vehicles were down around thirteen percent in the last

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: quarter as well, so bad news for Tesla. It was

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: also down around one and a half percent this morning. Now,

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: there's a new report that's come out saying that Donald

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: Trump has told some of his cabinet secretaries and top

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: officials that Elon Musk's time might be coming to an

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: end at the White House simply because he's done the

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: job he needs to do and he needs to go

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: back to his other companies. The quote that's running on

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: this from Donald Trump is that he said there will

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: be a point at which the secretaries will be able

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: to do this work, and that Elon Musk has a

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: big company to run now. As a result of that

23
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: story coming out this morning, Tesla's stock is up nearly

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: five percent. So if there was ever a question whether

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: Tesla's brutal few months has been based on him involved

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: with the White House, I think we have our answer.

27
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, And of course the other side will say

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: boycott's and vandalism work, but we don't want to hear

29
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Now, we've been talking about Liberation

30
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: Day now for a couple of days, and now it's

31
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: coming nine o'clock our time, so that's in about three

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: hours time. We've already talked about this this hour. What's

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: your take on it?

34
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to be an interesting one, and

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: I think one of the biggest things we're looking at

36
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: is what's going to happen, because there have simply been

37
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: no leaks that have really come from the White House

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: giving a clear indication of what's going to happen here

39
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: and which countries are going to be affected. Donald Trump

40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: has given some hint that he might be going easier

41
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: than he was first going to. There's a lot of

42
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: volatility in the US stock market at the moment. Donald

43
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: Trump is someone that watches the markets very closely and

44
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: It's interesting to know this is going to happen at

45
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: four o'clock local time here on the East Cone, which

46
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: is actually when the markets closed, so that would have

47
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: been done on purpose, I can imagine. But really I

48
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: think it's interesting to note that we have had no leaks.

49
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: It's very unknown what's going to happen at the stage

50
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: and who's going to be affected.

51
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Hey, match, I thank you so very very much.
