Even if you are not really vocally pro-Trump, you know, you could argue that we should have a different Republican nominee. People like Ron DeSantis were getting a lot of currency among Silicon Valley Republican billionaires. Elon Musk was not that involved right at this point, but plenty of kind of Musk acolytes, someone like David Sachs, who is now the White House AI czar.

At the time, David Sachs helps launch this podcast called All In, which becomes very popular among the tech right now. And you see anecdotally, you know, I'm there talking with, you know, kind of people I think of a center left kind of rich liberals who are beginning to, you know, wonder why is Joe Biden so anti-business?

You know, why didn't he invite Tesla to, you know, an EV summit that he held at the White House? You sort of see this visceral reaction to kind of the Biden positions on tech policy. And, you know, why is he stifling innovation, stifling artificial intelligence? Why is he being so mean to all these crypto industry people? priorities.

That is kind of the climate that Elon Musk begins to emerge from. Elon in 2023 was supporting Ron DeSantis somewhat covertly for president. And it wasn't until, you know, the assassination attempt in mid 2024, that Elon was publicly pro Trump, but a lot in building up between 2021 and 2024.

Yeah, I mean, look, Elon is an interesting person on AI, where he has all those beliefs, you know, personally about the world and culture and politics. And he also has beliefs that I think would be contradictory to some of kind of the right word shifts of the artificial intelligence industry, where Elon Musk is actually very concerned about AI. You know, he's signed a lot of public letters,
