Chapter 1: What conflict arose among Trump's tech oligarchs?
Chapter 2: What was announced at the press conference?
in AI infrastructure that they call Stargate. And Donald Trump was rolling this out. Look what they're going to invest. But then Elon Musk, who now has an office in the White House, one of Donald Trump's other oligarch bros, the person closest to Donald Trump, who basically helped by Donald Trump the election, called out the other tech bros who are competing against Elon Musk in the AI market.
And he says, basically, it's total fraud. They don't have $500 billion to invest. These companies are just lying. They may as well make up that they're investing a trillion dollars because it's all BS. Then Elon Musk posted an image of a crack pipe next to crack and said, this is where they must have come up with that number, $500 billion while smoking crack. And then others in MAGA were like,
Chapter 3: Why did Elon Musk criticize the investment announcement?
whoa, Elon, you're being disrespectful to Donald Trump. And Elon's like, yeah, I don't care. I don't like those tech bros. And those tech bros don't like Elon Musk. And if Donald Trump did some basic diligence, and I know he's not capable of that, he would have found out that Elon Musk is actually suing Sam Altman for billions of dollars and hates the guy.
And all of these oligarchs are suing each other over patent violations and trademark infringement. and other unfair business practices. This is why you should not invite Brolligarchs to run the government. They are self-interested and they're trying to enrich themselves at the expense of the American public. By the way, how about those lower prices, Donald? Where are those?
Chapter 4: What legal issues are the oligarchs facing?
Grocery prices are going up. Housing's not more affordable. There's not peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. By the way, Donald Trump said recently, since he was sworn in, that he said Americans don't care about inflation. He goes, that's not the big issue. He said Americans care about the mental institutes that people are coming in from.
Excuse me, border crossings were down under President Biden and you killed President Biden's bipartisan border deal. But you want to talk about broligarchs? How about one of the things that Donald Trump is really looking to do when it comes to migrants?
is to help some of the oligarchs who run the private prison system to enrich those billionaires who are opening up all of these private prisons and these private police forces to help carry out bloody mass deportations. Let me just break down everything that happened. So as you know, there was the press conference that was held in the Oval Office. You had Masayoshi's son,
SoftBank's leader, you had Sam Altman, you had Larry Ellison. And then Donald Trump said, Sam Altman, you are the leading guy in AI. And that pissed Elon Musk off. Then OpenAI, that account, which by the way, Musk co-founded when it was a nonprofit. Musk has some points here. I'll break it down.
Chapter 5: How are current economic issues tied to Trump's administration?
I'll give credit where credit is due on some of these points that Musk co-founded OpenAI when it was a nonprofit. And then it became for profit. And Musk is like, OK, well, I funded this thing. Give me the money. And then Sam Altman's like, nah, it's actually mine now. And Elon Musk's like, yeah, but I was funding it when it was a nonprofit. Now you're going to be making billions of dollars.
You should pay me for it. And Altman's like, nah, I'm not going to do that. So that's part of the feud in the litigation. So OpenAI goes, we are announcing the Stargate project. The Stargate project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years, building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of oligarchs in government?
Chapter 7: What are the consequences of the ongoing oligarch feud?
This infrastructure will secure. And then it talks about all the great things that it's going to do in the United States. By the way, notice the language that it used, which intends to invest. That's the language Donald Trump always used when he defrauds people and defrauds the American people, right? The first time around, we intend to build these factories.
We intend to have a manufacturing boom. We intend to build a factory here, which would never happen. Unlike President Biden, who would keep his promises and President Biden didn't intend. He actually put the money into the economy, but I guess President Biden or now former President Biden didn't give the media all of the access that they wanted to just shout questions at him in the Oval Office.
So they said, that's pretty bad. We're going to have to report negatively on this guy because we don't get the access that we think we deserve. It's pathetic, and that's why the corporate media is swirling the drain. So anyway, OpenAI posts that. And then Elon Musk, who's like, dude, I'm the broligarque here. Why are you chilling with Sam Altman? I'm suing this guy.
Elon Musk goes, they don't actually have the money. Then he goes on to say, SoftBank has well under $10 billion secured. I have that on good authority. To which Sam Altman, one of Donald Trump's other tech oligarch bros, goes, wrong. As you surely know, want to come visit the first site already underway? This is great for our country.
I realize what is great for the country isn't always what's optimal for your companies, Elon. But in your new role, I hope you'll mostly put America first. By the way, these broligarch billionaires fighting with each other, is that really what we the people ever wanted? I know. No, I didn't. I know you didn't. But you want broligarchs fighting? No. How about lower egg prices?
How about making housing more affordable? How about doing the things you actually said that you were going to do? Oh, wait, Donald Trump, the liar is a liar. The big con, the fraud, the felon does wrong things, lies. Yeah, that's what happens. Your nighttime bedroom temperature has a huge impact on your sleep quality.

Thank you, Miracle Made, for sponsoring this episode. Then Elon Musk reposts this leaked image of the research tool OpenAI used to come up with their $500 billion number for Stargate. And it's a crack pipe with crack. Then Laura Loomer, one of Donald Trump's kind of closest influencers, and she hates Elon Musk. She comes out and goes, Elon, this is making a mockery of President Trump.
And it's incredibly disrespectful to Donald Trump and his staff. The implication is that those who announced Stargate yesterday are smoking crack. The announcement was made by President Donald Trump on day two of his administration and the White House press conference. Trump doesn't smoke crack. Very disrespectful to OpenAI, to Sam Altman, to Masayoshi Son, and to Larry Ellison.
Elon Musk then posts the inquisitive face emoji. How is OpenAI a closed source for maximum profit? It was started as a nonprofit with a $100 million investment from Elon Musk. And by the way, this is the lawsuit that Elon Musk filed against OpenAI. amended the lawsuit to add Microsoft, one of Donald Trump's other broligarchs, Bill Gates, who visited Mar-a-Lago. They're all suing each other.
And all of these lawsuits were happening before the broligarchs all got the front row seats during Donald Trump's inauguration. Just let's take a look at this lawsuit that was filed by Musk against Altman. And they're fighting with each other for Donald Trump's affection. How bizarre.
