Speaker 1: Okay, so, SpaceX they are considering selling shares at a
Speaker 1: two hundred billion dollar valuation. Smart, So, hey, what's your
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? And then be how will SpaceX affect Tesla?
Speaker 1: And which one of those two companies is actually the
Speaker 1: company to invest in if you can actually invest in
Speaker 1: invest in it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love them when you guys peak this post up.
Speaker 3: I think if we can be very honest and starlink
Speaker 3: are the two better companies. I know he can't walk away,
Speaker 3: but if I were Eline, I were trying and find
Speaker 3: the CEO, I would be chairman of Tesla and focus
Speaker 3: on SpaceX and Starlink. I think a lot of people
Speaker 3: think because he owns all of the companies, that's gonna
Speaker 3: directly benefit Tesla. Maybe, but unless they are acquired and
Speaker 3: put into one parent group or parent company, I don't
Speaker 3: think this will affect Tesla positively how people are hoping
Speaker 3: it will be. But I do think Starlink and SpaceX
Speaker 3: are like promising businesses. If he is focused, Elon could
Speaker 3: be like a icon, like if he could find a
Speaker 3: little bit more help and make the right hire. So,
Speaker 3: but I don't think so someone asked me to do it.
Speaker 3: I see a thirty percent bump in Tesla if this
Speaker 3: becomes public, No, if you can invest in it on
Speaker 3: a private markets, please do so. I think it's going
Speaker 3: to be a revolutionary company, but I don't think this
Speaker 3: is going to drag up thirty percent And it's never
Speaker 3: a good sign, like if you need another company to
Speaker 3: raise the value of the one that's been in the dumps.
Speaker 3: So no, But what do you guys think?
Speaker 2: I want to give a shout out to Ayshabo, who
Speaker 2: is alumni of or Inalasia Rocket Scientists and gave us
Speaker 2: great information on space exploration and the cost of it
Speaker 2: and the innovation that comes with being inside that space.
Speaker 2: But then I want to look at what history has
Speaker 2: shown us when it comes to Elon, especially when he
Speaker 2: has multiple companies. And so when I look back to
Speaker 2: when he was going to acquire Twitter, which is not
Speaker 2: x Y, what effect did that have on.
Speaker 1: Tesla negativl all right, and a.
Speaker 2: Lot of it. And you brought up the word focus
Speaker 2: was because of the amount of focus that was taken
Speaker 2: away from the company that he was putting into the
Speaker 2: capital that it took to get that to buy the
Speaker 2: company and then change it and rebranded, and so Tesla
Speaker 2: consequently suffered a little bit. Space says again, I think
Speaker 2: it's a great company if you can get into it,
Speaker 2: but I'd be interested to see how people view it.
Speaker 2: Will they view it in the same manner where yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a great company, we know with the evaluation that
Speaker 2: is super high. Does he have the time and focus
Speaker 2: and energy to put into this space and will it
Speaker 2: affect the Brandon brother which has been testled over the
Speaker 2: past five years.
Speaker 1: So Tesla all right, the most important company in his
Speaker 1: portfolio moving forward in the next decade, is Norlink. The
Speaker 1: next the next most important company it is Startlink. The
Speaker 1: next most important company is Space X. The next most
Speaker 1: important company is Twitter X and the next most important
Speaker 1: company is Tesla. So right there and my power ranking
Speaker 1: of Elon Muss's portfolio, which is extremely impressive portfolio. I
Speaker 1: have Tesla as the as the as the the fifth one.
Speaker 1: Now Tesla and X they can kind of be interchanged.
Speaker 1: Maybe X is the is the fifth and Tesla is
Speaker 1: the fourth. But I don't see how Tesla. I don't
Speaker 1: see how Tesla really changes the world. Right where you
Speaker 1: have a lot of other your car companies, right, but
Speaker 1: there's not too many companies that can actually put a
Speaker 1: chip inside your brain and move a computer mouse and
Speaker 1: is the possibilities with neuralink is is unbelievable. And then Starlink.
Speaker 1: I mean we were in Ghana and they lost the
Speaker 1: internet for a week and they were like as soon
Speaker 1: as they lost the internet, and all these Starlink trucks
Speaker 1: started coming in and people with money started to get Starlink.
Speaker 1: So you look, you're talking about like really supplying. There's
Speaker 1: no reason why my phone is like dropping calls, And
Speaker 1: I don't understand why FaceTime audio always works, but regular
Speaker 1: audio doesn't work, right, Why don't you just put the
Speaker 1: FaceTime audio as the regular audio, right Apple and license
Speaker 1: it out yep. So it's like, you know, he's got
Speaker 1: this Starlink thing is going to be big, and then
Speaker 1: a lot of people have questions about SpaceX, like, well,
Speaker 1: what does the company do? Well, what is the point
Speaker 1: in SpaceX? Like, you know, it's more than just traveling
Speaker 1: to out of space took about like satellites that actually
Speaker 1: it's kind of in tandem with starlink, but space exploration
Speaker 1: has more purposes than just traveling to the moon, right,
Speaker 1: But I think that he's positioned with SpaceX to potentially
Speaker 1: do some big things. And Twitter is still important because
Speaker 1: is a media company and they have billions of people.
Speaker 1: Worst acquisition ever though he paid too much money for it,
Speaker 1: for sure. There's a few others. But yeah, well I
Speaker 1: just look at Tesla. I just look. I don't know
Speaker 1: how Tesla what makes them so special? Right, is like
Speaker 1: at first they were synonymous with electric cars, but that's
Speaker 1: going away. Everybody has an electric car at this point.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't see. I don't think Tesla
Speaker 1: changes the world, right, I got a proposal about Tesla
Speaker 1: needs to merge.
Speaker 2: But is a position to that question, what is funding
Speaker 2: those companies?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Like, he doesn't have the capital to get Twitter without Tesla.
Speaker 2: Most of his wealth is tied to the stock of Tesla,
Speaker 2: and so it becomes the funding arm. That's why he
Speaker 2: liqu with his shares and every market team, because he's
Speaker 2: trying to innovate someone else. And so from that standpoint
Speaker 2: it becomes super important because bag At, I mean, I
Speaker 2: get that far.
Speaker 1: I'm saying to him, he's far past the fundraising. Now
Speaker 1: his own money liquid it. He could raise a billion
Speaker 1: dollars and any given Tuesday he can go to Saudi
Speaker 1: Arabia and get a hundred billion dollars. He can go
Speaker 1: having that's the importance of Tesla, It's the importance of
Speaker 1: being Elon Musk Musk. And he's never gonna have a
Speaker 1: problem raising money. That's never going to be He's proven.
Speaker 1: So whatever if Elon Musk wants to start a chipmunk
Speaker 1: manufacturing company today that actually manufacturing people did one hundred
Speaker 1: billion dollars to borrow from the Prince of Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other rich people from all over
Speaker 1: the world, let alone Black Rock and all of these
Speaker 1: different private equity So that's it.
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying from a standpoint of private equity.
Speaker 2: Right when he wanted to get Twitter, where do you
Speaker 2: have to get the capitol?
Speaker 3: He had to look with it. But I think that's
Speaker 3: because the bad investment. It was he literally bought at
Speaker 3: the top and.
Speaker 2: That was a bad Yeah he bought that, Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: but you still had to liquidate some of that company that.
Speaker 1: He a stof.
Speaker 3: But they're also pushing back on that conversation package that
Speaker 3: he wanted for fifty six billion. That's that's interesting because
Speaker 3: it's hard to liquidate that much capital when the stock
Speaker 3: is down and your shareholders are getting run into the ground.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, you're talking about a guy for everything
Speaker 2: you named, Like, think about the impact that that one
Speaker 2: human being has had that in the world, Like from
Speaker 2: everything your name, on top of being one of the
Speaker 2: co founders of.
Speaker 1: We can't forget PayPal, I.
Speaker 2: Mean get I'm talking about like had to be like
Speaker 2: you're the co founder of that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm saying that's just crazy. None of this happens
Speaker 1: if he doesn't start PayPal, which is true. This is true.
Speaker 3: Which is revolutionary with you, and there was a company
Speaker 3: before that giving the money for Starlank and stay S's
Speaker 3: like you know, his fellowshipon is done incredibly well. Like
Speaker 3: you can argue he's one of the best capitalists ever.
Speaker 1: Like it's just the focus is needed.
Speaker 4: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 4: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 4: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 4: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 4: Donald J.
Speaker 5: Trump's leadership. I'm Christine Noman, the United States Secretary of
Speaker 5: Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are
Speaker 5: at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred
Speaker 5: thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally,
Speaker 5: your next you will be fine nearly one thousand dollars
Speaker 5: a day, imprisoned and deported, you will never return. But
Speaker 5: if you register using our CBP home app and leave now,
