00:06And so he's probably not all that surprised by by what happened with with Elon Musk.
00:13I'm sure he's disappointed. I think he has said as much publicly.
00:17But I think that the president, you know, has a read on people.

01:52we had a free public conversation, especially in the lead up to the 2024 elections, which did indeed help President Trump win the election.
