    I'm listening to liberals count and spend Elon's money for them. This envy, jealousy, hatred of success, why is it immoral? Why is it wrong for somebody in our system, our capitalist system, in the greatest nation on Earth, to go out and build a company, build companies, build technologies, go into space, aim to go put a colony on Mars, give Internet to half the world? all the things he's doing, why is any of this wrong or bad? Why would we want to discourage entrepreneurship? Why would we want to discourage anybody building anything? That is the nature of it. That's a fair question, because Elon Musk has also... I mean, he's getting super rich, but a lot of other people are getting rich, too, at spade sex, people who are... That's the wrong frame. And I think Scott Jennings is wrong, and let me tell you why. Because the liberals that you are lambasting right now, No one is saying, and I'm not saying, I can't say no one, but I'm not saying that I'm mad at him for being innovative enough to create an IPO that creates wealth for him or many others. What I am saying, however, is that there has to be some nature of altruism. Being an American, right, I mean, if reading the Statue of Liberty, like there is a certain level of give me your poor, give me your burden. Do you have evidence that Elon Musk is not altruistic? I mean, I don't know.
