Clay and Buck featured snippets of this interview on their program today.
Overall, Musk acquitted himself admirably. He used compelling, creative arguments to buttress his point of view. And he is absolutely right.
I do not even remotely support the manner in which he has conducted his personal life. I hope he finds true repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Nonetheless, he is otherwise a courageous, heroic figure; and we are blessed that he is in a position to make a difference on behalf of our country and our civilization:
Yes, we should be thankful for men like Elon Musk.
I agree, Fred. I also think we have to use discretion.
Another example of when I disagree with him is his enthusiasm for AI creating a situation in which people don’t have to work and yet somehow enjoy a prosperous existence. Work is part of God’s design– and when men don’t work, bad things happen.
I love and admire Musk. I think he is a genius and I think he is a very good person. And I think without his selfless purchase of unprofitable Twitter, the 1st Amendment would have died… which means Kamala would be our figurehead, millions more illegals would have poured in, and the J6 persecuted would still be tortured in the DC Gulag.
DOGE was a wonderfully selfless attempt that hurt his business horribly. For which he received a knife in the back from Trump and the Uniparty as thanks.
(Permit me to qualify “selfless,” which I don’t equate with virtue and is in a sense generally a contradiction in terms. The higher value of the actor committing the act is always what is being honored. That is, the act is what the self prefers, even as it fundamentally is benefitting someone else. I use it to indicate that he did not do it to make money for himself, but rather it costs him a lot personally.)
I am so thankful for his existence. And that he is so articulate as to be able to intelligently defang one of those creatures who go by the title of “journalist.”
It is worth noting that he did not become the world’s richest person by seeking wealth, but rather by pursuing goals that he thought were worthwhile for humanity with a keen eye for the economic efficiency needed to accomplish the goals.
I agree with all your comments, J. Sobran. I like Musk also, and admire his talents and capabilities. And I appreciate what he has done for the country.
