, not the entire Russian army, but the entire invading Russian army is 150,000 people. And you think that 140,000 foreign living Ukrainian-associated people signed up and actually came to Ukraine to fight? No, what's not correct? There are 44 million in the country. So somebody says they can believe it. No, I don't believe it. I'm not going to buy it.

All right. Elon Musk tweeted and offered to fight Putin one-on-one, with the winner getting Ukraine. Perfectly normal day.

Let's see what's happening in the news. Let's see. Richest man in the world. Oh, okay. He's offering to be the champion fighter for the Ukrainian people, and he wants to actually have a physical fight with Putin, and then they'll decide who wins. What is Musk up to? Why do you do this? This is real, by the way. I don't know, in case you thought I made this up. He literally did this. Musk did literally offer to fight Putin one-on-one as a champion. The winner gets Ukraine. He really said it. And then when somebody asked if he was serious, he said yes.

Why'd he do it? Why'd he do it? Tell me why. You say publicity. He's done everything. Elon does probably has more than one benefit or purpose. So publicity is part of it, but publicity is not what I'm looking for. He's always looking for publicity. That's just a given because he doesn't have a marketing department at Tesla.

Somebody says high ground maneuver. Close. Here's what I think it is. Number one, Elon Musk is not like us. Will you accept the first premise? Elon Musk is not like us. I don't know what he's like, but he's not like us. He's better than us. I hate to say it, but he's better than us. That's — I mean, it's not an accident that he's the richest man in the world. He's smarter. One of the parts of his talent stack, which he never gives credit for because he's so engineering-centric that you think of him that way, but he's one of the best persuaders of all time. Of all time. Maybe the best. I mean, it's hard to measure that kind of thing, you know, exactly. But you could make an argument he's the best there's ever been. Because his companies didn't become great companies because he's a great engineer.

I heard somebody say that. Somebody said that you should think of Elon as a great engineer and that would explain why his companies are succeeding. Nope, nope. I think he might be a great engineer, but that would just be part of his talent stack. He's not an engineer for one thing. He's a physicist, I think. He picked up engineering as like a side job or something, you know, just something he figured out on his own.

Here's what I know that maybe you're not aware of. The people who came from the PayPal mafia, the so-called PayPal mafia — it was the folks who were part of
