nion is going right.

In my opinion, and this will be really controversial, racial harmony is actually improving. What do you think of that? In my opinion, racial harmony is improving. And I'll tell you why. Because we're wising up to why it happened in the first place. We're wising up that it was the media that was causing it, right? And I think people are wising up. People, everybody wants everybody to do well. If there's one thing that you can say about Republicans that you could just take to the bank, they want everybody to do well, right? There are no Republicans who want Black people not to do well. They all want them to do well as well as everybody who's struggling. They don't want to necessarily be the ones that pay for it. That's a different question. But they want everybody to do well and would even jump in and help quite a bit if there was something that made sense to help on.

And I think that the education question is where everybody's going to meet. Because a Black parent and a white parent, when they're talking about educating their kids, same page. I mean small differences, but the same page, right? Everybody's got individual differences. Somebody says I don't think about race unless I'm in social media. Isn't that true? When was the last time you had a real world racial anything? Can't even think of one. Now I live in a pretty harmonious place in the country. But when was the last time you had a racial confrontation or even a racial issue? I don't remember the last time. It's literally not on my consciousness anytime except social media. You're right. Yeah, this is a social media thing.

So this is weird and wonderful and mind-blowing. There was an accusation on Twitter that Twitter had sold somebody a blue check for fifteen thousand dollars. And that there was a system, sort of an underground system, where people could get to some Twitter employee who would illegally, I don't know if it's illegal, but would offer to sell them blue checks outside of the normal system. And apparently a number of people took advantage of it. I don't know what that number is. But here's the funny part. Elon Musk confirmed it. He goes, yup. He said yup, absolutely confirmed that Twitter had been selling blue checks. Does that just blow your mind? Because it blows my mind on several levels.

Watching Elon Musk fact check the world in real time is something we've never seen before. Like even if a politician gets fact checked, you have to wait until they give a speech or wait until the statement comes out or something. But Musk will be on Twitter. There'll be something that's just like a complete lie or in this case something that's weird but true. And he just fact checks it. You got like a five minute fact check that you could actually believe, right? If Musk says that happened, I believe it. I mean, why would he say that of all things you could say? Nobody's gonna lie about that. Ah, for fifteen thousand you will cook dinner. Well, okay, would be a good dinner.

Let's talk about some more Twitter stuff. The most important thing that's happening lately. Mark Ruffalo, one of the smartest Democrats. Now I'm just joking. He's one of the dumbest. If you were trying to list the dumbest celebrities who are political, you'd put him at least politically dumb. I'm not saying they're dumb like low IQ. But Mark Ruffalo, while I love his passion and I love that he apparently cares about the country and people and wants good things for all of us, so character-wise I'm a big fan, right? Yeah, I think you have to appreciate when somebody's on the other side from you if they're trying to make things better but they have a different opinion. Now you can't really hate them for that, right? You just want a different thing.

But Mark Ruffalo tweeted at Musk. He says, Elon, please, for the love of decency, get off Twitter. Get off Twitter. Hand the keys over to someone who does this as an actual job and get on with running Tesla and SpaceX. You are destroying your credibility. It's just not a good look. Is that the worst take you've ever seen in your life? Have you ever seen a worse take? This is an actor who's giving the most successful entrepreneur of all time business advice. Yeah, and he does it in public like that should look good. And he's worried that Elon, he's saying that it's not a good look for Elon. Do you know it's not a good look giving business advice to Elon Musk? My God, man. My God.

Let me give you the Hollywood analogy that even Mark Ruffalo, this would hit him hard. All right, you might not know this, but in the acting world, I made this mistake once when I was working on the Dilbert TV show. Well, I'll tell you what mistake I made. One of the voice actors was running through some lines for the Dilbert animated TV show that ran years ago. And I didn't like how one of the actors played a line. I'd written the line, so I knew how I wanted it read. So I stopped and said, oh, you know, I want it done this way. And I did an impression of the actor or actress doing the line. And I said, do it like this. Then gave an impression. My co-executive producer turned off the mic and invited me into the hallway where I learned that I just committed the greatest sin. The greatest sin. Let me tell you, if you're ever in this situation, don't tell an actor how to act. Don't do that.

Here's what you do. Can you give me a different look? Can you give me a different take? You could say, can you combine a little, like let's say more concern. You say, I can't do that, but like add like you're more concerned as well. You can describe it, but do not do the imitation. Do not do that. That's like the big thing you don't do. Now to the credit of the actor or actress who will remain nameless, they didn't give me a hard time about it. But it's because they also saw the co-executive producer drag me into the hallway so that they knew exactly what happened. And I'm sure that they were fine with it. Which by the way was good executive co-executive producing. So let me give my compliments to my co-executive producer, Larry Charles. Yeah, Larry just dragged me into the hallway and said, nope, nope, don't do that again. So that was a good lesson.

Now that feels to me exactly like an actor giving Elon Musk business advice. Am I right? That's the same thing. You don't do that. You don't do that. Well, if you do it, at least add a little bit of humility, right? Because I think we're all giving Elon Musk some business advice, but usually it's in the form of our own preferences. You know, it's not in the form of what's good business. Now what about the advice that he's got these two other CEO jobs or three or four? How many other many businesses? You should stick to those. If you tell Elon Musk of all people in the world, so you know, seven point whatever billion people in the world, there's exactly one
