Following his agreement with a shockingly anti-Semitic tweet earlier this week, Elon Musk is actually facing some consequences for his actions. If you're not familiar with the tweet, we're just gonna briefly show you, it involves saying that Jewish communities push hatred against whites and [00:00:16] that they don't get that blah, blah, blah, replacement theory is gonna ruin everything. It's just, it's a lot of stuff all at once, and to that, rando's tweet, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, said, you have said the actual truth. He had to go out of his way to find the tweet of a person who isn't anybody, [00:00:34] it's just a random person on Twitter and say, yes, Jewish people push dialectical hatred against whites, but anyway, some people are pushing for consequences. You have the co-founder of Facebook, Dustin Moskovitz who called on him to step down, not just from Twitter, but [00:00:51] from everything, remember, he is the CEO of six different companies. Obviously, he's doing a lot of work every day and bringing value to those companies I don't think that that's going to happen. But what has happened is that he has lost his opportunity to speak at the APEC Summit that's gonna be coming up, [00:01:08] it's the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, so they have decided not to bring him on to that. And one of his big longtime investors in Tesla, Ross Gerber tweeted, getting a flood of messages from clients wanting out of Tesla and anything to do with Elon Musk, many saying they're selling their cars as well. [00:01:26] What is he doing to the Tesla brand? Ross Gerber also had, I believe it was a model Y, yes and says that he's going to replace it with a Rivian, another electric vehicle. So I don't know exactly why it has taken to this point for those people to grow concerned about Elon Musk and [00:01:44] his state of mind, but maybe this will finally break through. We're gonna have more from that investor in a sec, but Brett, what do you make of this, I never got your initial thoughts about him and his tweet? >> Speaker 2: It's pretty amazing to me I really love Elon Musk just deciding it's [00:02:02] cool to wait in on this and then seeing how many people still are, like this guy is a genius, this guy is brilliant. And it's still the same people that are all like, the do your research crowd that [00:02:17] don't do a single lick of research into any of the claims being made. I love that it's like this dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them, just like decoding that. [00:02:32] When you see terms like dialectical hatred against whites, that is like the douchebag in your philosophy class, explicitly referencing one school of subthought within whatever [00:02:48] chapter they're all reading that he's gonna forget about in two weeks. That is insider lingoism to kind of borrow the way that they talk, that's lingoism as a way to kind of stip your hat to figurative [00:03:05] tribalism within the Internet, so you are just talking to people there. And for me, you're not responsible necessarily for what everybody else says to your ideas, but it is a good indicator of who you're hanging out with. [00:03:21] There are so many explicitly hateful anti-Semitic tweets and memes following this interaction, and if you're Elon Musk, maybe you would take a second to just step back and be like, whoa, whoa, whoa hold on a second. [00:03:37] And I think all of this talk at a certain point just gets super victimy for absolutely no reason, Elon Musk being like, my God, it sucks that I'm such a victim in this situation, and, you guys need to know that you're a victim. It's like there's no ideas being exchanged at that point anyway, [00:03:53] it's just people trying to get you to feel bad for them, and it's useless. And it's exactly the same kind of uselessness that's actually better if you take that same energy and put it towards finding fun cat videos on the Internet, or finding an actual community of people that play pickleball with you, [00:04:09] just go do that instead. >> Speaker 1: And with the resources he has, you could input literally any activity, and he could do it. So really guys, it's pretty clear but just to be clear, you find his tweet to be in the realm of as unacceptable as the way I've portrayed it, I never know where we're gonna disagree. [00:04:25] >> Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it's just stupid, it's like I could get into against quote, whites, it's like anytime you talk about whites, just know that that's a Venn diagram that grows and shrinks based on what you're trying to argue for at the time. [00:04:42] And that goes all the way back to Ben Franklin saying that Germans weren't white. It's just like, so often that thing just disappears and turns into mush, and then people will tell you that Jews are all white, but unless they wanna kill them. And then it's like the white just they completely ignore the fact that there's [00:04:59] all kinds of Jewish people, and there's colorism within the Jewish community as well, we can get into all that, but no one really wants to, right? You don't wanna do that, you just wanna say yes, like and subscribe and give money to my grift, that's all people want anyway. [00:05:15] So I don't know if I need to dignify the rest of that conversation with facts amid the stupidity. [MUSIC]
