Welcome to IHIP News. Today I'd like to discuss the fact that Elon Musk's wealth has doubled since the election. He's set for more with government contracts and SpaceX seeks approval to turn Texas' Starbase site into a new city. And I think oftentimes about this man who is the richest man in the world. Some people would say Vladimir Putin is richer, but I think we're splitting hairs there. I often think about why is he all up in Trump's business? What's going on there? Why is he tweeting 300 times in the middle of the night? What's going on here? And so sometimes I think when you have these guys, you have to take a

Freudian approach to analyzing them. And I wonder if on some level, he knows that his wealth is so dependent upon these government subsidies that it causes an insecurity in him. And so he wants to go in with this doge and act like, you know, somehow legitimize that, yeah, the government helped me, but look at what I did. I fixed the government. Is this all of this driven by some insecurity that he wouldn't be as wealthy on his own without the government's help? I certainly don't think you can overlook that because there has got to be an explanation. And that's as good as any that I've heard. And it just, it offends me to the core of my being that somebody with his wealth is

going to talk and go into people on social security and say, well, we need to cut your benefits because that's government frivolousness or veterans don't need as much care because that's frivolous spending. And it's like, you don't live in the real world. But I completely agree with the thought that he is there. There's something going on. Nobody wants to spend that much time with Donald Trump. I mean, ask Melania.

Nobody wants to be with him all the time. He's babysitting. He's traveling. At first I thought, well, maybe he just wants to take over NASA. But now you're telling me he wants to create these cities. I mean, it's just, it's out of control. Obviously we have a ketamine issue. I don't think there's any question about that. And we have this huge ego that we have to fill all the time. So is it the wealth or the power that he finds more enticing? Right now I'm thinking he just, his insecurity coupled with the drug addiction makes his power and insecurity, it's just like a moth to a flame. And he and Donald Trump are just like these two mentally unwell, unstable people with no empathy.

And they like it. But I just can't help but think that there's going to be a breakup at some point. I think some idea that these people just have a lot in common and they're just buddies is bullshit. Agree. You have to look, you have to follow the money. And I'm just always constantly concerned with the news story that broke, that Musk was having conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Musk buys Twitter. Musk jacks with the algorithms of Twitter to be very favorable to all of this cuckoo for Cocoa Puff, MAGA conspiracy, bullshit, Nazi shit, anti-Semitic shit, all the racism, N-word, all the shit that's going on on Twitter is abhorrent. And then he spends $250 million on Trump's campaign. And he, you know, there's this big swinging dick competition going on between he and Bezos with their, you know, spaceships and all this stuff. But I'm more interested in like the, you know, like the post psychological analysis of him,

because I think that Elon owns Trump and walks him on a leash and Trump knows it. And I think there's compromising information there from Putin to Musk. That's what I believe. I don't have any evidence for that. That's just me piecing that together. Why is Musk so, you know, consumed with Doge? And I think there is some issue with all of the government subsidies that he's received. You would have to feel in a sense that you're kind of skirting the system. If every electric

vehicle that's sold, you get $7,500 and you just keep getting these huge checks from the federal government. And the problem with that is where the U.S. government erred on that is all of that went to the top. All of that went to Elon. The government needs to have regulations. It's not going to happen during Trump's reign. But if we're going to subsidize a company, we want to ensure that all of these subsidies are not concentrated with the shareholders only. If the government is going to do this, we want to monitor. If you're going to receive these subsidies, we want to monitor that it's going down the payroll, that this wealth is being, you know, trickled down, as Republicans like to call it. And so that's an error in the way the government does this. That's something that a real doge should take a look at, that why did all of the wealth

consolidate just to Elon Musk? And why didn't that trickle down? Isn't that what the government should have monitored, that it went down, that these workers are unionized? And if they're going to get taxpayer money, that it really goes back into the people who put the money into the economy and not just their big boat or, you know, multiple jets or whatever. You know, when you really analyze Elon Musk and all his fingers and all the pies, his

Starlink, where he during countries like, for example, Ukraine and Russia, where he allows it to work for Russia, but then he has dark spots in Ukraine. I mean, he's participating in massive world conflicts on a very intricate level. And like you said, he's talking to Putin all the time. So that tells me what side he's on. And then we've heard Vivek Ramaswamy before they became the Doge buddies saying that he, you know, that Xi Jinping says jump and Elon Musk says how high. So that makes me wonder what's going on with that dictator. I mean, you just see a lot of red flags with Elon when it comes to dictators.

And I kind of am with you. Like he walks Trump on a leash. I wonder if they're being together all the time. It's not Trump wants to be with Elon, but Elon wants to watch Trump. Let me, but let me get back to this point. Do you think the U.S. government needs to have more accountability to its citizens when they pay out subsidies to these corporations and they monitor more where this money goes? Oh, I absolutely do.

I think that's the only good thing. So my question is this. Did the United States government create Elon Musk? And now they've created Frankenstein. And now he's unleashed and he's walking the biggest dipshit of a president we've ever had on a leash. And we have ownership in that. American policy has ownership in the creation of this,

is what I think. Well, and it's only going to get worse with the crypto. He's all involved in crypto and AI. I mean, the lack of regulation that we're going to have is going to make the problem you're discussing that we can see with our own eyes. I can't even imagine what it's going to be like in four years with the AI jump, all the crypto stuff. And I don't pretend to know anything about either one of those topics. But from what I've read, it's going to be extremely hard to regulate and extremely hard to provide authenticity and all of that. And Elon Musk is a big proponent of all those. So listeners down in the comment section, I really want to start this conversation about what culpability the United States government, when they pay subsidies to these companies, and then all of the wealth from those subsidies is concentrated in one person. What burden does the United States government carry for creating that problem. And then you have this person that is the richest man in the world, whose wealth has doubled, who has a direct line to talk to one of our adversaries, Vladimir Putin. He bought a presidential election. He's walking Trump around on a leash,

parading him around the Notre Dame when Trump's not shitting in his diaper over there. And I just, I, when we, when we really step back and do an autopsy from this, Elon Musk is able to thrive in the digital space because there's this young male worship of capitalism and these Tesla trucks and all this, you know, his rocket ships and all this bullshit. And he's able to game the algorithm. I mean, Twitter is such a cesspool now. Every time I get on it, I mean, he's gamed the algorithm so much. There's no way, no way that Tucker Carlson's tweet should show up in my feed. Absolutely right.

And I get that. And then I get Charlie Kirk and I get all of this shit. And so how much ownership does the United States of America have in Elon Musk and the power that he has? How much enabling did we do with the purchase of Twitter, him zero regulating of the algorithms to protect the public from misinformation, zero, zero regulating from all of these subsidies that go over and concentrated all of the wealth of all of the Tesla workers with Elon Musk. We created this.

And I'm not talking about me and you. I'm talking about the United States government created this situation. And I think there is a missed opportunity for the Democrats to simplify the argument I just made and start linking it to this corporate greed and the insurance industry, the gun industry, the pharmaceutical industry, big oil, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And, you know, we miss it at every single turn. We miss an opportunity to go all over social media and say, Elon Musk would be nothing without government assistance. That's absolutely right. And here's the deal, too.

Why do you think the Congress of the United States is disinclined to go against corporations? Because they're profiting from them. They're profiting from them by their campaigns. They're getting in on deals, all that. So, I mean, it's just like this huge, huge circle. It's a circle jerk. It's a circle jerk.

Yeah. It's a circle. It's a circle jerk of, you know, robbing Peter to pay Paul. And we're creating a lot of this wealth consolidation at the top. And the American public buys into that people like Elon Musk are going to advocate for them. People like Donald Trump are their allies. If you live in rural America, I've got news for you. Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about you, looks at you with utter contempt, looked at the January Sixers as he's sitting in the dining room off the Oval Office and was disappointed at how trashy and rednecky they looked, wish his supporters looked a little

bit better while they were beating up cops. That's what we're dealing with. But the messaging from the Democratic Party, I mean, Elon Musk should be eviscerated as a man who sucks off the federal government for his wealth. We need to, because I think he personally feels that. That's why he wants to tear down the government. That's just a Freudian analysis. And I'm just an armchair psychologist, but that's my opinion. Anyway, let us know what you think in the comments and we'll see you guys later. It's so entertaining. Tap the vein. So good.
