donald trump, anti-electric vehicles. donald trump's number one arch nemesis is china. that is elon musk mind state great next frontier. i'm not even talking about the stock market. elon musk is now donald trump's homeboy. if that is not about power, i don't know what it is. >> elon musk, let's derail, the thing i like most about joe biden is how much evil billionaires despise them. i think elon musk is a bit of an outlier because he seems much more concerned with being the joe rogan of billionaires than actually being a successful businessman at this point. he seems much more focused on his own popularity and being adored by people, sort of like a certain residential nominee i can point out. >> should we be alarmed when things are so blatant. am certainly not saying the white house is for sale, but when you're seeing the meetings with the oil execs, business people whose policies -- >> are you saying that the white house is for sale? i will be what you want me to be. >> he solicited a bribe. in his first term there was a shingle on the white house. >> yes, that is true
