you what's up guys it's your boy Benny I
used to live in Washington DC I was the
first Republican to ever vote at my
precinct they even took photos of me
voting in a Maga hat because they were
so it's so strange to see an actual
Republican living there I lived in DC
for a number of reasons but this where
it got the start of my career anyway I
don't live there anymore the point is
that I had friends that were Democrats
the entire city was was Democrats and I
still keep in touch with some of these
people and they're like what the hell's
wrong with my party a lot of them right
I would never be friends with like a
psychotic like pink hair but like a lot
of Democrats have had the party leave
them and Elon Musk is one of those
people right who who you know donated to
Barack Obama and so on and it has like
made it very very public and very very
clear that the party has left him and
that is what we've seen here in this
most recent Lex fredman podcast where
Elon mus talked about how
wokeism has destroyed the the middle of
what used to be the Democrat Party where
you had sort of a country that agreed on
a lot of stuff and that it's not him
becoming a republican it's the Democrats
becoming like marxists previously left
or Cal left what what would you like to
see in order for you to voting for
Democrats again no I I would say that I
um probably left of center on social
issues probably a little bit right of
Center on economic issues it's like what
and that still holds true yes but I
think that's probably you know half the
country is isn't that maybe more maybe
more probably more like 89% of the
country where a lot of people just kind
of are like well please can you just not
f everything up can we just have like a
little bit of both and more than that
just leave me the F alone please right
that's what these people can't do that's
why the the the people that I know that
would consider themselves Democrats they
can't they don't recognize their party
anymore Elon Musk saying is is saying
this talking about the woke mind virus
which is essentially communism rebranded
Watch past year or so since since
purchasing X you've become more
political is there a part of you that
regrets that have I in this
battle
to um sort of counter way the the woke
that comes from yeah I guess if you
consider fighting the woke mind virus
which I consider to be a civilizational
threat to be political then yes so
basically going into the the battle the
battleground of
politics is there part of you they
regret yes I don't know if this is
necessarily sort of one candidate or
another candidate but it's um I'm
generally against things that are anti-
meritocratic uh or where there's an
attempt to suppress
discussion um where even discussing a
topic is you know not
allowed um the w b myus is communism
rebranded well I mean that said because
of that battle against the woke mind
virus you perceived as being
right-wing if the woke is left then I
suppose that would be true um but I'm
not sure I think there are aspects of
the left that are that are good I mean
if you're in favor of you know the the
environment um or you know if you want
to a positive future for Humanity if you
believe in empathy for your fellow human
beings
um you know being kind or not cruel I I
whatever those values are yeah whatever
those values are so Elon Musk has gone
hard against Communists against the woke
mind virus which is communism rebranded
as he said there that clip's been ping
pong balling around like crazy the
entire podcast is really quite good most
things that Elon Musk does I tend to
agree with but most especially when he
is responding to me on X particularly uh
to this video about AOC where Elon Musk
uh says uh when it comes to him messing
with her that it is a uh what can I say
it's a naked abuse of
power what a psychopath AOC has to be to
make this video it it still is quite
remarkable that this happened but I do
love this timeline it is the most
entertaining timeline Community event in
the Bronx and Coop City and when I get
home I see a text from my team saying
hey let me know if you need any help
with this Elon
stuff and I was like what so I pull my
Twitter app and it's like gone
like when you pull up your mentions and
stuff like that it's just like literally
like a blank screen totally
gone and I was like hm that's weird so
it turns out we got under a certain
little billionaire skin
what if I did my shirt like
this what what if I did would you think
that I've had a mental breakdown if I
like split apart I just happen to be
eating lunch right now always eat lunch
in my desk if I split apart my chicken
and was shoving it in my mouth while I'm
like talking about oh Donald Trump and
Joe
Biden you would that be
normal no what a what a pathological
sociopath AOC is who eats chicken like
that you're crazy Elon Musk might be
crazy for AOC we don't know but the Love
Story continues because a mon was asked
about AOC right after talking about
Communists of course AOC herself a
communist uh Elon was asked hey are you
actually in love with
AOC two of them have had uh some
interesting interactions on X
AOC has um you know and Elon maybe may
be in love you never know you never know
but Elon has talked a bit about AOC like
for instance this F this meme that sort
of like shows them apologizing to each
other and locked in a in a glance Elon
responded with a little heart emojis
right here so what does he have to say
about AOC have they ever hung out are
they best friends are they secret
lovers when OC see secretly
friends or bigger question do you wish
you and her and just people in general
of all political Persuasions would talk
more with empathy and maybe have a
little bit more fun and Good Vibes and
humor on
online um I'm always in favor of humor
that's why we have a funny mode but Good
Vibes camaraderie humor you know like uh
like friendship yeah I don't well I you
know I I don't know aocf you know was um
I've only been at one I was at the the
Met wo when she was when when she
attended um and she she was wearing this
dress uh but I can only see one side of
it so it it it looked like eat the itch
but I I don't know what the rest of it
said yeah yeah something not
sure something about the itch eat the
itch I think we should have a language
model
complete what are the possible ways to
complete that sentence and so I guess
that uh that didn't work out well well
there's still hope I'm I root for
friendship sure sounds good more
cartic Elon mus go into war there he
wants to eat AOC tax the rich was the
dress that AOC wore and uh if AOC and
Elon musos were ever have a one night
stand well she wouldn't like his
nightstand this is Elon must nightstand
he took a photo of it lot of uh coke
diet a lot of Diet Coke there uh a just
massive
firearm uh a hand handun and then like a
like a revolutionary war like flint lock
looking pistol El loves guns here's a
video of him firing a Barrett 50 caliber
from his
hip pretty based the uh memes that Elon
Musk has shared first amendment is for
sharing memes with friends Second
Amendment is for when they try and stop
me from sharing memes with
friends Elon Musk has a lot to say about
war and his thoughts on war that was
what a lot of the rest of the podcast uh
contained as you know of course
America's most
successful uh military technology
manufacturer right the American Military
couldn't operate without starlink that
Elon Musk owns um I think this is an
important conversation here have a
little list what degree do you think war
is part of human nature versus a
consequence of uh how human societies
are structured I asked this
as you have somehow controver rally been
a proponent of peace I'm I'm generally a
proponent of peace I mean ignorance is
perhaps in my view the Real Enemy to be
countered that's the real hard part not
you know fighting other
humans um but all All Creatures fight I
mean the the the jungle is a you look at
the people think of of this nature as
perhaps some sort of peaceful thing but
in fact it is not there's some quite
funny when a when a hog thing where he's
like in the jungle like saying that it's
like basically just murder and death in
every direction I mean the the plants
animals in the jungle are constantly
trying to killing each other every
single day every minute so it's not like
uh you know we're unusual in that
respect so like I said somehow
controversially you've been an uh
proponent of Peace on on Twitter on X
yeah so let me ask you about the war is
going on today and to see what the path
to peace could be how do you hope the
current war in Israel and Gaza comes to
an end
uh what path do you see that can
minimize human suffering in the long
term in that part of the world well I
think that that part of the world is is
definitely like if you look up the there
is no easy answer in the dictionary
it'll be that like the picture of uh the
Middle East um in Israel especially so
there is no easy
answer
um what my this strictly my opinion of
you know is that uh
the the goal of Hamas was to provoke an
overreaction from Israel um they
obviously did not expect to uh you know
have a military Victory um but they they
expect they really wanted
to commit the worst atrocities that they
could in order to provoke the the most
aggressive response possible from Israel
um and then leverage that aggressive
response to um
rally Muslims
worldwide for the cause of Gaza and
Palestine which they have succeeded in
doing a lot of people seem to be using
this tragedy to beat the drums of war
and feed the military industrial complex
do you worry about
this the people who
are rooting for escalation and how can
it be stopped one of the things that
does concern me is that there are very
few people alive today who actually
viscerally understand the of War at
least in the US I mean obviously the
people in on the front lines in Ukraine
and Russia who understand just how
terrible war is um but how many people
in the west understand it um you know my
grandfather was in World War II uh he
was severely traumatized um I mean he
was there I think in for almost six
years in the you in East North Africa
and Italy uh all his friends were killed
uh in front of him and uh he would have
died too um except they randomly gave
some I guess IQ test or something and uh
he scored very
