00:00And finally, shares in Tesla are absolutely tanking and we've seen Trump basically go

00:07all out to support the brand. You know, we've got pictures right now on the White House

00:12lawn and there's a whole variety of Teslas there and he's saying, I'm going to buy one

00:17and he's really supporting Elon Musk. What do you make of all of this?

00:22Yeah, it's an interesting way to go about things to say the least. And I talk about

00:29this with my friends and family all the time. I think folks on both the left and the right

00:34agree that we could all have more efficiency within the federal government, that we could

00:39find areas to slim down and trim the government and that we need to address our federal debt.

00:48But the way that Elon Musk and the Doge team is going about it is not very popular,

00:54as indicated with what's happening with the Tesla stock. So I think this would be nothing

01:00more than a short-lived gimmick by the Trump administration to try to bolster any type of

01:08popularity with Tesla. But if this attack on kind of the government bloat is done so

01:18in such a reckless manner by Doge, I fear that it's more trouble for Tesla stock moving forward.
