WEBVTT - Introducing: Citizen Elon

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>We're in the middle of a truly wild presidential race,

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>pitting a Democrat who wasn't on the ballot until this

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>summer against a Republican who was convicted on thirty four

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>felony counts just before receiving his party's nomination for president.

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>But the wildest thing might be this guy. And you know, Elon.

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I love Elon Musk Do I love him a life?

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk Green capitalist, world's richest man, and also one

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest political contributors in American history. Donald Trump

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and Elon are close these days, which might seem strange

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>since just a couple of years ago, Trump was saying

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff like since I started working on this podcast, the

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>relationship between the two men has only strengthened. To start

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Elon's tweets, They've gone from I fully endorse Trump to

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>saying that there won't be in America if Trump loses,

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to saying that humanity will never reach the stars without

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 1>having a president Donald Trump a second time. Then there

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>was Elon's two hour live interview of Trump on X.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>You have definitely got a fertile mind. We can talk

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>about cuddles and rockets, so many things. Then the ads

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>paid for by Elon's pack. Trump is the American badass.

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Will stop this nonsense. When Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania,

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>where the Summer's assassination attempt happened, Elon went there too.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>He jumped up and down like a kid in a

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>bouncy castle and then delivered this kind of halting speech

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>with sentences like fight, fight, and blood coming down the face.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>From Bloomberg Podcasts, This is Citizen Elon. I'm Max Chafkin.

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>In this three part series, we investigate someone who might

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>be the deciding factor in the twenty twenty four election.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Why is Elon Musk suddenly so dead set on Trump winning?

0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And if it works, he successfully gets Trump elected? What happens? Then?
