mbrella of that guy likes that stock. It might go up. So, maybe he's trying to drive up the stock. Do not do anything that I do financially. I do not give good financial advice. You should not follow my advice. If I thought my advice was better than other people financially, I'd tell you. I'm not shy. I'd tell you if it was better. It just isn't. Um anyway, here are the shocking things. Uh that E…

whole 10 years. But uh even when it's paid, remember some of it goes to taxes. Nobody's going to get a check for a trillion dollars.

All right. Uh, but how many of his products that he's working on now could become the biggest in that category forever? All right, here are just a few things. If Elon starts making chips and he's the best at manufacturing things that people didn't know how to manufacture, and chips are mostly a challenge of how do you manufacture them? They're just hard to make. So, he would be the best person who could ever take on that challenge. So, what if he makes the biggest chip company? Totally possible. Even if the only person who buys them is his own company, you'd still be the biggest chip maker. Uh, what about his power stuff? Could he be the biggest in the world? What about his AI? Could it be the biggest in the world? What about his robots and his cars? Could he be the biggest in the world? Yep, he's worth a trillion.

Well, as you know, Nancy Pelosi has announced a retirement. And uh I wonder what Trump said about that. Now, you might know that it was only recently that uh Pelosi said some terrible things about Trump. Just terrible things. He was stealing your democracy and he's the worst I think he says she said something like he's the worst person in the world because he's not just bad but he's the president so he has power plus he's bad so he's the worst person in the world. The worst person in the world. Um, so Trump pays her back because he's uh in the press conference there. Somebody asked her about retirement and uh he made sure that he uh thought this through and gave them a quote which would guarantee that it dominated the news. Did it? Yes, it did. Here's his quote about Nancy Pelosi. I think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring now. Trump about Nancy Pelosi. Oh yeah. Okay. I'm just repeating the same thing. The dictation services are are funny. So I my one hand is too paralyzed now to to type. So I've been using voice dictation. And I found out that if you want to do the word country, c o u n t r y, uh I won't even tell you what it what it wrote down. It was so naughty. Very naughty.

Well, the Supreme Court made a decision that uh if you have a passport, you can only list yourself as male or female. There will be no um inbetweens or no trans, no anything but male or female. Now, I have mixed feelings about that honestly. Um for adults, and we're only going to talk about adults. We're not talking about children. Children should not be, you know, I I have the same opinion you do, but um most of you anyway. But for adults, I do think that adults should be able to run their own life. And if they want to be trans, I'm okay with that. Why wouldn't I be? It's not my life, you know? And if it doesn't bother me, yeah, just do whatever you need to do. If you're an adult and it's not, you know, scaring the horses or something, go ahead. So, I'm pro trans in the freedom sense. Everybody should have the freedom to do what they do that they

need to do because they need to do it. And it's none of my business if it doesn't bother me. And it doesn't. So I do wonder about the tradeoff because if somebody shows up in their trans identity, uh wouldn't that be harder for the passport people to sort that out? So aren't we trying to make sure that it's easier faster? Easier or faster would be um I'm trans. And then the person looks at him, th…
