Starting point is 00:00:00 You know what's better than the one big thing? Two big things. Exactly. The new iPhone 17 Pro on TELUS' five-year rate plan price lock. Yep, it's the most powerful iPhone ever, plus more peace of mind with your bill over five years. This is big. Get the new iPhone 17 Pro at TELUS.com slash iPhone 17 Pro on select plans.

Starting point is 00:00:25 All right, Elon Musk is continuing to crash out, to melt down. he was running around the White House and a ketamine-fueled rage, but months later, he is still online trying to influence what is happening in our politics. This article reads, Elon Musk feuds with U.S. Transportation Chief in social media posts, calls him two-digit IQ. I hate how our politics has turned into straight-up WWE, where rich people, the richest person on the earth, one of them, is feuding with our NASA chief because Elon Musk, wants the contracts that Sean Duffy is offering up. I urge you to stick around until the end and drop a like on this video

Starting point is 00:01:06 because we talk a little bit about the real danger of Elon Musk's algorithm pushing near the end of this video, and it's quite, quite scary. So just to jump in, the SpaceX owner said that Sean Duffy, our transportation chief, was, quote, trying to kill NASA after the acting head said they might reopen contracts and not use SpaceX. So Elon Musk threw an actual toddler temper tantrum because his company wasn't being chosen for contracts. Elon Musk attacked Sean Duffy, calling him Sean Dummy. Like, dude, if you're going to come up with nicknames, at least make them clever, because SpaceX may not be the central program in this new mission.

Starting point is 00:01:48 Musk's tirade against Duffy followed a statement from the Transportation Secretary on Tuesday that NASA would reopen contracts for the agency's Artemis mission. which SpaceX had previously secured. Duffy said that SpaceX had fallen behind on its timeliness, and they said the contract might go to another billionaire's rocket company like Jeff Bezos. I made a video earlier about how Elon Musk lost one million sales, one million car sales for Tesla because of his political antics. Well, it seems like he's losing more and more for SpaceX as well. So he said to Sean Duffy,

Starting point is 00:02:23 The person responsible for America's space program can't have a two-digit IQ. And this got 20.4 million views. He's just trying to dominate the attention economy. He's trying to dominate all attention with personal attacks towards Sean Duffy. He then says, Sean Dummy is trying to kill NASA. And this was in response to the Wall Street Journal report confirming that Duffy is pushing NASA to fold into the Department of Transportation. Elon Musk is just mad and trying to push Shepard. Sean Duffy out because his own contracts aren't being chosen.

Starting point is 00:02:57 This is blatant corruption. And to break this down more, I'm going to bring in law student Micah Irfan, who has been researching this exact topic so we could help mockler media in debates and online. Take a look. Micah, what do you make of Elon Musk's actions over the past few weeks or past few months? I mean, Elon's been having a public mental breakdown for months now. Recently, we saw him attack Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary of the Trump administration because Sean Duffy suggested momentarily that SpaceX wouldn't get some of the

Starting point is 00:03:28 contracts it's been getting previously. Now he's calling for Sean Duffy to resign because of course Elon has always bought X, always donated to the Republican Party, always been involved in politics because he wants to further his business interest. As you remember, Adam, there was a huge feud between the Trump administration and Elon just a couple months ago where Elon called Trump a pedophile who was not releasing the Epstein files. Fair point. True. He came back into the fold when, when his government contracts were at risk.

Starting point is 00:04:00 This is what Elon prioritizes his bottom line. And you see it across the board. Yeah. And it's very, very clear that he bought his way into the government. No person, no one individual ever has contributed this much to either a political party or a single candidate as Elon did during the 2024 election. He wasn't out there in Pennsylvania literally trying to have people, you know, literally trying to buy people off because if he was altruistic, because he actually believed in

Starting point is 00:04:28 the Trump project. It wasn't because of that. It was for his own personal gain. And we've seen that time and time again. So what's wrong with somebody trying to bully someone like Sean Duffy out of the government? What's wrong with Elon Musk doing that? A lot of Trump supporters might not be able to see the problem. Well, I mean, the issue is that the purpose of the government is to do a good job for us. And so whenever they're awarding government contracts, instead of awarding those contracts to the friends of the Trump administration to the powerful, they should award them to the best contractors, the people who give us the best service for the lowest cost. Now, I have no idea what Sean Duffy's motivations are. He might be specifically targeting Elon because Elon has proved himself to be

Starting point is 00:05:05 disloyal in the past. That's actually something that Trump explicitly said whenever Elon was first attacking him. He said, I don't know if Elon's businesses would survive without government contract. So I don't know what Sean Duffy's motivations are. But I do think, that it's bad that billionaires are able to flex their political cloud to get concessions from the government over and over and over again. And I'm afraid under this administration, they keep getting exactly what they want. Yep. Let's move over a little bit to GROCopedia, which is Elon Musk's new Wikipedia that is based off of his GROC. Now, he's intentionally trying to push this AI bot that he created farther and farther right. So in my opinion,

Starting point is 00:05:46 and he could push the entire information ecosystem farther and farther right. It is really an uphill battle that we're facing on the left or anybody who cares about liberalism across the globe is fighting an uphill battle because Elon Musk is manipulating the algorithm of X to not only try to erode democracy in the United States or muddy the waters as democracy is eroded by the Trump admin, but now he's trying to influence elections worldwide, trying to increase far-right populist movements in Europe and in countries within Europe. So the problem is when he comes out with this new grok that we talked about earlier in the episode and this grok muddies the water, not even muddies the water, is it basically just

Starting point is 00:06:25 defends the great replacement. It says that Russia may have been justified because it's citing the Kremlin sources. Do you view it as Elon trying to put his thumb on the scale of the information landscape? Or how do you view this threat? His agenda is power. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, there's a lot of people that have this same agenda. They don't want a society that's democratic. They don't want a society where we all have equal rights. They want to turn the working class, normal everyday Americans against each other. They want violence and disruption. And they ultimately want a very small number of people, an oligarchic class that includes them,

Starting point is 00:06:58 to have control over our societies, not just in the United States, but also in Germany, where Elon has been extraordinarily involved. I thought that funding foreign donors being involved in our politics, they always mentioned George Soros, is bad. apparently it's not because Elon Musk is funding the international far right movement across the world also in the United Kingdom and this grok piece is just an element of this broader strategy to manipulate the information that we are exposed to Elon knows that if he can if he can control what's in our algorithm he can control what's in a lot of Americans minds and that's exactly what

Starting point is 00:07:36 he wants yeah his his biggest power right now his largest power isn't even exactly money. I remember as where Klein was saying, Elon Musk buying Twitter was, you know, possible due to him being rich. But one of his biggest, like, pieces of power right now is actually attention, the attention that Twitter gives him. When this dude posts eight or nine times a day, I mean, he posts probably like dozens of times a day, but eight or nine of these posts will get five to ten million views. I mean, you see this all the time, right? Elon Musk signal boosts something or retweet something and it will get five to ten to twenty million views, meaning it goes incredibly viral because he put his thumb on the scale and it's not liberal content he's

Starting point is 00:08:17 promoting it's never it's never liberal he's never accidentally promoting something about equality or something that is pro-Ukraine he's never accidentally promoting black american history he's always always intentionally promoting conspiracy theories about the great replacement conspiracy theory is about immigration they try to like ingrain one image in your mind of someone being murder or stabbed over and over so you have biases built in it's a brainwashing platform that he's created and we need to push back so any last thoughts on the intersection of money and politics and the way Elon does this yeah i mean Elon is a far-right white nationalist everything that he says is extreme false and incredibly damaging and he's doing it on purpose it's not like Elon just

Starting point is 00:09:02 changed ideologies over the past two years he's always had an agenda for power and he's come to understand that this is his way to get his agenda across. He doesn't accidentally share Nazi tweets, okay? So many times we see him retweet somebody who literally has a pin tweet praising Adolf Hitler. That's not an accident. He knows what he's doing, and he's doing it on purpose to further his own political and business interests to further his own power. And I think the sooner everybody recognizes that, the better.
