Trump et Elon Musk : rien ne va plus !

My friends. Hello, Tremp and Elon Musk. You can literally feel each other. This is a small, not a big fork, actually, that I was given. So what am I doing in the uk? I'm visiting for two or three days. I'll do that during the year. You might see me post a photo every six months or maybe make a video or two from the uk. That's. Even though I don't live there anymore. I went to get this car from a garage. It was. It was covered in plastic. I took it out. I'm making a video from the car, but I'm only here for three days. Anyway, what I want to tell you today is that the Elon Musk affair is getting tough. Things are getting tough between the two men. What happened? Let me tell you, this is a question before it becomes a political question or anything else, because there are disagreements, of course, on the budget in particular, there is a deep question about these two men. About these two men and their way of seeing life, their role in life. What is Elon Musk's job? What is his job? Elon Musk's job is CEO. He is CEO of a company. What is Trump's job? Trump's job is President of the United States. Just from these titles on their business cards, you will see why these two men cannot get along. But it is obvious, my friends, what is the power of a CEO in a company? He has all the power. He has absolute discretionary power. Elon Musk. When he makes decisions at Tesla or elsewhere in the nebula of companies that belong to him, he has absolute power. If there are people who say, no, sir, we don't agree, we don't want to follow you, he can immediately tell them, put your badge on the table, he'll call security. They're fired, they're out, it's over. Within five minutes, they're out as if they'd never worked for this company.

Okay?

That's in a company, because the company is not a democracy. The company is a fundamentally totalitarian system. Now, the President of the United States doesn't have as much power as a CEO in a company because the President of the United States has to do something in politics called compromise. He can't do everything. He's not a kind of king of the United States with vast and absolute power. If he wants to get a decision passed, like approving a budget, he has to find a compromise. Why? Because if there are people on his own side, members of Parliament, senators, party leaders and so on, who may be either Republicans or Democrats from the other party, because, yes, the Democratic Party lost the elections, but it continues to exist politically. So if these people come to him and say, if you don't do this budget, we're going to block it, we're going to take it down, we're going to bring it down, he can't tell them, okay, I'm going to arrest you, or okay, I'm going to take away your elected offices and that's it. You're nothing at all. Get lost. No, he can't do that. He doesn't have the power that a CEO has. The people give him power, so he has to work with them. And sometimes that requires mental flexibility so that he might be able to reach 70% of his goal, but he sacrifices 30% of the goal. There's no choice. That's real life. The problem is, and then look at the judges. There's also justice, several decisions. Judges have great power in the United States, so they can block decisions. And you always have these stories about decisions. A judge, a judge, they have many of them. A judge blocked it. And then you have to go to court with him. You have to, you have to, you have to. And that's wasted time in a very short term, in a four year term. So if in a four year term, not 70% of your time is spent litigating in courts here and there, you have nothing done. Elon Musk, from his perspective as CEO, has a more absolutist view of political decisions and in particular that of the budget, because he overruled the dog, the department whose goal was to make cuts and everything. He did. But it didn't. It didn't at first. Well, it was popular when he found things, positions that were mind boggling, wasteful of public money and everything. But then he started attacking federal jobs and he put a lot of people on the street. And it's true that in a context of economic crisis where people can't find work, they are affected, their families, their loved ones and everything. It's starting to get people talking. So that's something that didn't make him popular. So Elon Musk today, with his attitude, he behaves like the Greta Thonbach of the Budget. That means he has an absolutist view. And for him, it's either this absolutist vision or you're a traitor. Let me tell you a story. I was reading a book by someone who specializes in turning people around. He turns agents around. He creates double agents. He infiltrates the enemy's political leaders and others. And he infiltrates them, to turn them around so that he works for him. And in fact, you know, he said that there were two main categories of people who turn. There's a category that works for money who turn for the dough. These are people who have a mistress, they're in debt, they have an insatiable appetite for money. You pay him, he sells you information. And there's the other one, the idealist. The idealist is the one who helps you because he believes in you, because he's disgusted with his system, because he sees it up close. And he believes that the adversary is the opposite of his system, where he lives. And he thinks that the adversary represents great ideals, great principles, and so on. Well, that one works for free. That's the advantageous one who works for free. On the other hand, he is very dangerous. The one who works for money is not dangerous. As long as you pay him, as long as he continues to give you information, he doesn't care. He was the good one, the bad one, it's not without problems. On the other hand, the one who idealizes you is ultra dangerous because the day he is disappointed in you, he turns against you. But really mean Elon Musk, what did he do? But he. He started attacking Trump. But personal attacks, that means quite quickly he said, yes. I don't understand why he would pass a budget in which there is an increase in spending. Because indeed, there are increases in spending, particularly on defense, a fairly significant increase. It seems like he's almost preparing for war. Or in reality, the United States is always preparing for a war. It's just a kind of tax that has to be given to the ogre, that is the military or industrial complex. Either give him money or the lives of their children, and usually both. Right? And so Mr. Elon Musk gets angry, doesn't he? He considers it a betrayal. He doesn't want to understand that Trump is forced to work with others, too. He is forced to find a compromise. So he throws out personal stuff. He even goes so far as to say that Trump is on the Epstein passenger list.

Okay, okay.

But that was known. He's already heard. It's not new information. It means he's been supporting him since August of last year. Knowing this information, how come today, when he's having a disagreement on the budget, he suddenly remembers that he's on the Trump lists. The Epstein lists, By the way, just between us, the Stein clients who have not been prosecuted are more protected than anything else, including by the current administration, which has released documents which are censored. Like the Biden administration. These are extremely censored documents. So it protects these people. But the question I ask myself is that these clients, to my knowledge, have not taken a vow of chastity. That means, damn it, he's dead. But who is supplying them today? Who is the supplier? I want today's supplier. He's not talking about a supplier who died years ago. I'm all for it. Okay, but who is supplying them today? That's the problem. In any case, Elon Musk is starting to make personal attacks on Trump. Yes, he took some. He took the meat. Yes, he took. Seven times. Yes, yes. And when you take it, when you fly on Epstein's plane, it's not like I flew British ways. I mean, they're not regular airliners. They had a very specific purpose. Trump is involved in that. And by the way, if you look at the Republicans, they changed 100% on Epstein. They did a 180 degrees on Epstein before the election. And during the election he said, we need the whole truth. We need. He was killed, we covered it up and so on. Today they say, no, whoever says Kepin was killed is a horrible conspiracy theorist. I'll say. Here's the thing. They did a sort of vote Ville against Trump, arrived at the White House shortly after. They took out large volumes. They worked interns. They took large volumes like this with papers that they had that they bound together. And then they said, here we are releasing the Epstein files. Total transparency. No, no, these Epstein files were completely censored. Black, black everywhere, okay? He, he didn't reveal anything at all. They didn't make anything public at all. And today, well, Elon Musk is attacking him on this. But Elon Musk, he's the believer who was disappointed. He's the guy who believes, who was disappointed because he suffered. He gave 200, a third of a trillion literally to the Trump campaign. He gave almost 300 million. He lost a lot of customers because the eco friendly bourgeois class that he targeted with his marketing, even if there are other people, but mainly if this class, city dwellers who, who have money, who are very sensitive to climate issues, ecology, who want clean cars and everything, he has lost them.

Okay?

We are starting to see Teslas with LMKs crossed out in the north.

Okay?

So he has lost those. Teslas have been defaced, dealerships have been burned.

Okay?

So he has lost a lot. And now, well, he is losing the pro Trumpers.

Okay?

It is complete madness. But the reality is that the United States is starting to look more and more like an Ungovernable country. This presidency and the United States in general are sinking into a circus, into a movie. Okay, it is unfortunate, but that is how it is. And it gives an image. Absolutely. I'll let you think about the poor image it gives. By the way, even Trump, if you look, keeps changing his mind. One day he puts in tariffs, the next day he removes them. One day he says 20%, the next day he says 10%. It's not possible to work like that. It's not possible because he wants to believe in his tariffs. He wants to bring industry back to the United States. That means he wants manufacturers to invest in the United States. But manufacturers need a long term plan to invest. They need vision, stability. An industry is not a startup. It's not two guys. Two guys in an Airbnb, one computer. I mean, an industry is heavy. It requires investment. It takes time. It takes time and it also takes time to be profitable. The return on investment in industry is measured in years, sometimes even in tens years. The guy decides something. He says, I'll set a price. An industrialist might think that if I invest in the United States, I will have a competitive advantage over my competitors who will move outside the United States and therefore be subject to full tariffs. And I will have X number of years during which I can really make money. But you can't think like that, because there are tariffs today. Maybe in a week they will no longer be there, or in a week they will have been halved and you find yourself having invested while your competitors, who have not invested at all without breaking a sweat, manage to produce abroad more cheaply and bring back to the United States without tariffs. Because, well, we have made an exemption or an exception, or we have lowered tariffs and so on. I mean, there is no stability. It goes in all directions. That's it. In any case, we will see how it ends. Yesterday, Tesla shares lost roughly 11% of their value. Today, it's slightly taking on color when it opens, but we'll see if it will recover or not. In any case, as I was telling you, it's really turning into a car. Thank you my friends, for watching this video. Don't get too used to the car because in three days I'll be back in Dubai. See you soon.
