me several years ago, but I think I'll wait to talk to him to see if he wants his name mentioned. But a very successful investor once said on X that you should look at Tesla as an energy company. And I thought to myself, what an energy company? I don't quite get that. Now I get it. Now I get it. It could very easily the energy company could be I don't know. It could be bigger than robots, I imagine. So we'll see. Anyway, I'll ask if I can use his name because that was a really interesting reframe that Tesla was an energy company.

Well, also Tesla they're designing something called the A5 chip that they will use in their robots and in their cars. But what's interesting is I guess they had some problems trying to make this chip and they had two chip projects going on at the same time and Elon decided to collapse them into one program which is now doing better. I think he got involved directly as he likes to do and maybe worked that out. But he actually predicts that their chip would be better than Nvidia's and that it would be 10% the cost of an Nvidia chip and two to three times at least he said two to three times better. What? Wait, what? Are you serious? Are you telling me that Nvidia is like the class of all chip people? Like nobody can even copy them. They're so good. They're uncopyable. The entire country of China with all of its technical prowess can't match Nvidia. And Elon just sits there in a chair. They turn the camera on. He's like, "Yeah, we're building one that's two to three times better and it'll be about 10% of the cost." Wait, what? What? Are you serious? 10% of the cost and two to three times better than the best thing that's ever existed. Is that even possible? Yes. Yep. If anyone else said that, wouldn't you say, "Yeah, sure. Prove it." You might not bet against it, but you wouldn't think it's likely, would you? But when Elon Musk, who as far as I know is not known as a chip designer, manufacturer fab kind of a guy, he just enters the market and he's going to completely dominate it in how long? A few months. How long is that going to take? I don't even know how to evaluate that. That is such a big claim, but yet possible. So everything that you think you can predict about AI and robots in the future and healthcare, I don't think any of this is predictable because who saw this coming? Who saw that coming?

Anyway, so at the same event, that's where Elon said that they do plan to build robot hospitals. So I wasn't crazy that that might be our only path out. Now, I think Elon's been quiet about this. He's got so many things going on that he has lots to talk about, no matter where he is and what he's talking about. So it could be that he's just waiting for the right time. Maybe this is the right time. But my goodness, he's going to solve healthcare, energy, and chips and robots and self-driving cars. And that's just this year. What's he going to do next year? Good lord.

Anyway, so that's happening. I would go further and say that unless we use robots to solve our health care and our affordability that we're heading towards certain doom. That civilization is on a path toward guaranteed destruction by essentially overspending. If we just keep doing what we're doing or if we even try to tweak it a little bit, we're all dead. Basically, it's not a tweakable situation. You would have to do something so fundamentally different than what the economy is doing now or you'd have no chance of survival really. You would just spend ourselves into oblivion. But with robots, suddenly we do have a path out. And it's not a crazy path. It's one that looks like something the smart people can figure out. So watching the smart people try to save civilization is kind of inspiring. You know what I mean? Because you know if let's say you were one of the captains of industry you know you're a Musk or a Bezos or you're a Mark Cuban or you know you can throw in some other names wouldn't you feel a responsibility to save the world because it looks like it's not going to save itself and there's a very small group of people who might have the capability to really get in there and re-engineer things. If I were in that situation, I would feel that I had to get involved. It looks like that's what's driving Elon. That he must be completely aware that nobody else is going to solve this problem. I mean, maybe somebody else could, but I wouldn't be betting on it.

Elon also said he doesn't own any vacation homes. He just has one medium-sized house in Austin and a tiny one at Starbase. And when he takes his friends there, they don't believe it's real, that they think it's a prank. Really? This is your house? How much would you love to see his medium-sized house? I would love that. That would be like better than a museum. Like just look around. It's like, okay, what kind of games you got? Be so interesting.

Well, Bill Maher was on last night and then we can all be mad at each other because mentioning Bill Maher gives him more attention. Some of you don't like it if he gets too much attention. But I love watching his arc of figuring out what is real and what isn't. That's really interesting to me because he's doing a really good job of trying to burrow through to get to some kind of truth. He's not at truth. He's definitely not there. But the amount of effort and risk he's putting into trying to find it is actually inspiring and I appreciate the risk he takes to try to find it.

So last night on his show he went after Zohran Mamdani pretty hard with a brutal history on socialism and how it always fails and ends up in disaster. And he was very clear that Mamdani is a disaster waiting to happen. That's their side right now. Do you respect that? Do you respect that Bill Maher is taking the darling of his own team and saying, "Don't you understand that this is not just a problem, but you're talking about the end of civilization if this kind of thinking takes over?" And that's exactly what I'd like to see coming from the people who can make a difference. And Maher is somebody who could make a difference.

So I guess President Trump said he's withdrawing his support from Marjorie Taylor Greene because she's not supportive enough of him. And I wasn't sure what that was all about besides the Epstein files. She wants all the Epstein files released. He doesn't, but also the Democrats don't want them released. The Democrats just voted against releasing them, right? So in what world do Trump and the Democrats come down on the same side that they both don't want to release the Epstein files? Now, I'm told that the Democrats have some word salad negotiating thing that's the reason they said no to releasing them. Like they're trying to get something in return. But that didn't sound real to me. It sounded like an excuse not to release them. Everything sounds like an excuse not to release them actually, no matter who you're talking to.

Anyway, so the other differences with M
