piece, an op-ed about "My Dinner with Adolf." So he did a funny piece essentially mocking Bill Maher for imagining that there was a good reason to ever have dinner with Hitler, meaning that he was calling Trump Hitler.

What did Bill Maher say about this now that he's had several months to marinate on this situation? He said that Larry David was being dumb and unhelpful. Dumb and unhelpful. And then Bill Maher went on to do what he's been doing lately, which is explain that you should always talk to people. And what Trump does, and the example with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a perfect example, what Trump does is that he's willing to talk to everybody. And Bill Maher is now a complete convert, maybe he always was, to you can talk to anybody you want and we're better off if we talk than if we don't talk.

Now, you can imagine I'm 100% in agreement with Bill Maher. However, there was a specific quote that apparently Bill Maher used when he talked to Piers Morgan at about the same time as the dinner with Trump. Listen to this quote: "But I think the minute you play the Hitler card, you've lost the argument."

Now, he was talking about the op-ed by Larry David. "I think the minute you play the Hitler card, you've lost the argument." What does that sound like? How many of you remember my debate, but it wasn't really a debate, with Sam Harris around 2016 that became super viral and probably just about every one of you heard it, right? Did you hear me say that at the beginning of the debate because I think it was like 60 seconds into my talking to Sam Harris, probably a minute? Yeah, of course I'm remembering it, so I may be remembering it wrong. He brought up Hitler, compared Trump to Hitler, and I said, "Ah, we're done here." I said some version of basically, you know, that's the end of the debate. Whoever brings up Hitler, you just lost.

And then years go by, because that was probably back in 2016 or so. Now remember I keep telling you that what defines, not defines but a difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats try to tell you what to think. You know this is moral, this is immoral, this is right, this is wrong. And Republicans try to tell you how to think. Which one is Bill Maher doing in this example where he says the minute you play the Hitler card, you've lost the argument? That's telling you how to think. That's not telling you what to think.

So you can see the transition, right? And when he looks at Larry David, Larry David's just Hitler, no Hitler. Hitler, no Hitler. Doesn't that just seem stupid? I mean, that's basically what Bill Maher was saying. It just looks stupid.

So this is also what Bill Maher said on the same topic and he said and also I must say, you know, come on man, Hitler, Nazis, nobody has been harder on and more prescient I must say about Donald Trump than me. Bill Maher says I don't need to be lectured on who Donald Trump is. Just the fact that I met him in person didn't change that. And the fact that I reported honestly is not a sin either.

So what is it when he says met him in person and reported honestly on it? That's process. Again, he's totally right on process. So watching Bill Maher try to navigate this situation and try to get a foot in both worlds is really fascinating and I give him a lot of credit because it's a pretty rocky road. You know, having been down that road in a more extreme version myself and finding out what happens when you say anything positive about the way Trump does business, I know how tough that is. And he's going through it. He's taken on some water. I guarantee it. This is not easy.

So in the past, you've seen me sometimes say some good things about Bill and sometimes be critical. Today, I'm going to be completely supportive. Not of his opinions. He's allowed to have different opinions, but of his apparent focus and how he's essentially training his audience the way I'm trying to train mine into how to approach a problem and not so much what the answer is. The answer is up to you. But how to approach it? Well, you want to do that, right? Right.

Along those lines, and I've often said this is sort of a related topic, that having Elon Musk on what I would call the common sense side of things, I wouldn't call him Republican or anything like that, but he's squarely on the common sense side of things. And I was thinking today how many things Elon Musk has changed and how in the process of that he's also teaching us how to think and how to act. He's kind of teaching us how to be engineers. Not the actual skill of engineering but how an engineer would approach a problem. Have any of you noticed that?

That if you simply watch how Elon Musk approaches any problem, and I would argue that maybe the All-In Pod guys, they do the same thing. If you simply observe them over time, you learn how to approach problems. And you would say to yourself, "Oh, that's like that time, I know, Chamath did this or that, or it's like the time that Elon did this or that." And then you can take that model and build it, you know, put it into your own world. Tremendously valuable.

But on top of that, I saw that RFK Jr. was saying at some event that he believes that Elon Musk rescued free speech by buying what was Twitter. Would you agree with that statement that he rescued free speech by buying Twitter? I think so. I think that's completely fair. That would put him, if you buy that as a true statement, and I do, that would put Elon in the founding father category like with, you know, the time of course is different, but that would put him squarely right in the middle of saving the republic. And I think he gets complete credit for that.

But back to my overarching theme, he didn't just say free speech is good. Hey everybody, why don't you practice some free speech? Nope. He showed you how to get it. He showed you how to get there. Sometimes you got to buy the company. Now, he could do it. You couldn't, but he showed it. He showed you how to rescue free speech. And in this case, he did it through a I guess I'd call it a free market approach. And so you can learn that if you use the free market appropriately, you can get to where you want to get, which is free speech, in a way that teaches people how to think.

Hey, the only way you're going to have real free speech is if there's a free market platform that lets you say what you need to say without getting cancelled. And then he proved it by building that platform, you know, modifying a platform. Then and that's just the beginning. He was talking today about his chip design that Tesla will be the biggest chip designer in the world in a fairly short period of time. He's also taught you how to start companies at some kind of record speed that we've never seen before.

And now he's decided that Tesla has to be the big, hey, let's get rid of a counterbalance. Counterbalance, you're going to disappear from I think you're on the YouTube platform. But that's the second time I've seen that comment. So you're going to disappear now. Maybe today, but we're going to get you.

Then so this is just you know a little one small part of what Musk and Tesla are doing but he'll probably teach you that America can build chips. So you're going to learn a whole bunch about manufacturing and chip design and all that just because he's doing it and he's transparent about how he's doing it.

Then there's the, I saw a clip I think he was on Joe Rogan talking about the economics of homelessness. And a lot of people don't understand that homelessness isn't so much just about giving people homes. They wouldn't want to live in those homes if you gave them to
