Summary

In this episode of the Forward podcast, I sit down with my good friend and long-time friend, Dr. Aaron Sorkin, to talk about Elon Musk and why the right loves him. We talk about his rise to the top of the right, why the left loves him, and why it's time for people to forgive him.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 If you told me that the greatest celebrity, most influential person on the right, would be the guy who makes electric cars, who wants to put a microchip in everyone's head,
00:00:17.720 and who I saw one report doesn't have sex with women but impregnates them through IVF and invests very little in his children, is a sort of our strategist of a kind, I guess you could say.
00:00:38.120 And that this man would be lionized, lauded, etc., by American conservatives, I guess at first hearing I would say, you've lost your mind.
00:00:52.740 Of course they would hate someone like this.
00:00:54.840 Isn't he in a way the fantasy of Bill Gates or something?
00:01:00.380 Like, what do you make of just that fact that the right loves this man and seems to forgive him or at least look the other way?
00:01:11.360 And then I guess we could also talk a little bit more about the reproductive strategy he's pursuing.
00:01:18.600 But what do you think of these things?
00:01:21.080 Well, yeah, I mean, it's stunning.
00:01:22.620 But at the same time, I predicted it.
00:01:24.720 I predicted seeing Elon's behavior in January 2024.
00:01:31.120 I said, something happened.
00:01:33.460 It's not money.
00:01:34.720 It's not political links.
00:01:37.700 Elon has a Jewish baby.
00:01:40.300 And it turned out that Ashley Sinclair was the bearer.
00:01:43.620 And I've published this video.
00:01:44.960 It made half a million impressions on X.
00:01:49.760 So, okay, let's go back just to make sure everyone knows what we're talking about here.
00:01:55.220 So, Elon was in a lot of trouble.
00:01:59.160 I remember doing a podcast.
00:02:01.640 And I'm not trying to one-up you here with predictions.
00:02:04.040 But I remember doing a kind of spontaneous monologue where I said, and this was before he went to Auschwitz.
00:02:13.420 And I said, something is going on where he wants to be the big kahuna.
00:02:19.800 He wants to be the most influential man on earth.
00:02:24.520 And he is dropping conspiracy theories about Nancy Pelosi's husband.
00:02:30.520 He is, when someone said, you know, the Jews basically had it coming because they've been promoting multiculturalism for all this time.
00:02:40.600 And these are the fruits.
00:02:42.660 And he said, 100% correct.
00:02:45.820 I just said, something has happened.
00:02:48.780 And he wants to be president, in fact.
00:02:51.320 He's learned from Trump, which is that conventional politics are over.
00:02:59.180 You don't need endorsements from the local mayor or the governor of Iowa.
00:03:04.780 You don't necessarily even need to go on Fox News, although he would do that at some points.
00:03:12.000 You can be a kind of candidate from the internet, much like Ron Paul was.
00:03:17.900 But Ron Paul got 5% of the vote at most.
00:03:20.980 You can actually win as the candidate from the internet.
00:03:24.080 You are – the fact that the establishment hates you is good.
00:03:27.900 You can show that the governor of Iowa endorsed someone else as proof that they're part of the satanic cabal or they're, you know, the deep state or the swamp or whatever.
00:03:41.620 And you can just run this alternative campaign.
00:03:45.000 Now, Elon Musk is not – was not born in the United States, although he also does not seem to follow laws.
00:03:54.000 So, I'm actually – think he might want to be president, and it sort of looks like he is president.
00:04:04.920 But anyway, to go back to what you were saying, just to set it up so everyone knows what we're talking about.
00:04:09.840 So, Elon Musk was saying things that were critical of Zionism, anti-Zionist maybe, anti-Semitic perhaps.
00:04:19.820 It's the aforementioned tweet where he said that's 100% correct.
00:04:24.040 The Jews have it coming in a way by supporting multiculturalism of the left.
00:04:30.020 He then said something that was much more, you know, reasoned and sort of mainstream.
00:04:38.880 But it was actually a little – it was critical of Israel, and it was kind of radical on the edges.
00:04:45.720 He said, you know, you can kill one or two Hamas leaders.
00:04:50.180 You're going to create 100 more.
00:04:52.240 And it's a cost-benefit.
00:04:53.640 You keep attacking them.
00:04:55.620 And, you know, like snakes out of the head of Medusa, all of these new, young, highly motivated, maybe more violent Muslims are going to rise up.
00:05:04.600 And so you have to think about it that way.
00:05:06.160 That was not what Israel wanted to hear.
00:05:09.580 And then shortly after these things, he also went on a space with a bunch of rabbis who were sort of lecturing him.
00:05:18.520 And he was pushing back.
00:05:20.040 He went – he was in a conference, and he said, go fuck yourself.
00:05:23.680 You're going to try to bribe me with money?
00:05:25.700 That was pretty bold and maybe a little bit disingenuous.
00:05:29.700 I think he does want their money for advertising on X, but regardless.
00:05:37.200 And then he went to Auschwitz, and then he talked with Ben Shapiro, and then he's getting grace from the ADL.
00:05:46.820 It's time for grace.
00:05:48.720 You know, that's what they said.
00:05:50.160 We need to start forgiving more people as opposed to condemning them.
00:05:54.940 Is this man anti-Semitic?
00:05:56.740 Who can say for sure?
00:05:57.740 I mean, basically, the thing you would never imagine them conceivably doing, they did.
00:06:05.840 And so now you predicted that something happened, and you predicted that he had a Jewish child.
00:06:14.320 Wow.
00:06:14.680 Yes.
00:06:15.120 I predicted that there was a woman walking around, a Jewish woman with a child from Elon.
00:06:20.840 And it was on the month where he inseminated Ashley St. Clair, on January 2024.
00:06:28.100 Now, what had triggered that prediction was that in all this kind of tour of apology and Auschwitz visit, he had said something to make the case that he shouldn't be called anti-Semitic.
00:06:41.840 And he had said, I've always considered myself, you know, on team Jew.
00:06:47.720 And it's like he was about to say, I've always considered myself Jewish.
00:06:51.920 But he said on team Jew.
00:06:54.440 And on team Jew, to me, that was talking to a couple.
00:06:59.140 That was talking to a romance he was currently in.
00:07:02.480 So what we learned is that this is all tied to the Babylon Bee, by the way.
00:07:07.800 Elon's irrational approach with the Babylon Bee, which is Babylon Bee got banned from Twitter for a joke on transgenders.
00:07:16.980 And Elon spent $44 billion buying Twitter to unban Babylon Bee, basically.
00:07:24.180 And, of course, there was the whole bigger concern for free speech.
00:07:27.820 But that was the presented as the most important thing that had offended Elon.
00:07:34.500 Turns out Ashley St. Clair is an employee of the Babylon Bee.
00:07:37.720 And when the Babylon Bee starts doing the center view in a room with Musk as he acquires Twitter, he asks for Ashley St. Clair to be transported.
00:07:49.280 And this is where he sees her.
00:07:51.320 He sees her the first time in May 2024.
00:07:54.920 And he sees her as a journalist.
00:07:56.560 And he takes her on the side.
00:07:58.720 Eventually, he demands that she be transported with the Babylon Bee team from Austin to San Francisco.
00:08:04.460 And he gets a romantic dinner with her.
00:08:08.020 And at the same time, we have a Jewish overtake of the Jewish comedy overtake of the right, basically.
00:08:17.560 Because the Babylon Bee shouldn't be an orchestrator of power.
00:08:22.920 It should be an outlet of Jewish comedy, really.
00:08:26.660 That's what it is.
00:08:27.460 But it poses as Christian.
00:08:29.400 It makes jokes about abortion.
00:08:31.300 It makes jokes that are supposed to pull the Christian sensitivity.
00:08:37.000 And yet, it's an organ of Jewish power in a reformulated republicanism, where the Republican Party would be the host of a form of centrism.
00:08:48.040 And this is all happening at the same time as Elon Musk is getting his baby from Ashley St. Clair.
00:08:54.200 It's like one of these old marriages that you had, uniting families at war or resolving conflicts between kingdoms in Europe.
00:09:05.180 It's really a contractual baby that is coming from Ashley St. Clair.
00:09:10.460 And it's a contract, ultimately, between Jews, right-wing thought.
00:09:17.220 Because at this point, I think that what the Jews have seen is that we can't have support from the young generation, neither right nor left, but certainly not the anti-war leftists.
00:09:29.120 And they were eyeing Gaza, probably for a long time, and they were eyeing an expansion in the West Bank.
00:09:37.400 And so they started realizing, we're going to need to do the neocon thing again.
00:09:43.160 And that has cut their option.
00:09:46.900 We cannot get support from a young new generation with too many Muslims in it anyway.
00:09:52.480 And the other youth are totally brainwashed, anti-war, anti-genocide.
00:09:59.600 And so we're going to go for the right.
00:10:01.340 And so the right had to change.
00:10:03.100 So you tell me, Elon is unfit to be leader of the right.
00:10:08.600 You're right.
00:10:09.720 But he's still doing it.
00:10:11.960 Because the goal is a subversion of the right.
00:10:14.360 The goal is a change of what the right is.
00:10:17.260 It is actually a feature, not a bug, that he's not a right-wing person by our standard.
00:10:26.860 It's very interesting.
00:10:28.680 So Seth Dillon is the leader of the Babylon Bee's CEO or something like this.
00:10:36.440 And he has actually announced, I'm Irish and Ashkenazi by birth on my mother's side.
00:10:44.420 I think he put that in to say, oh, look, I'm Jewish because of maternal descent and so on.
00:10:49.100 But I'm Christian by faith.
00:10:51.500 I actually looked into the Babylon Bee.
00:10:53.480 I don't find the Babylon Bee very funny.
00:10:56.160 It seems like, you know, for instance, the Onion back in the day, there was a kind of dry, even quasi-nihilistic human, nihilistic element to the Onion back in the day.
00:11:15.340 Like they would have a headline like saying, you know, man has banged his head up against a brick wall for 10 hours and yet his life still sucks.
00:11:24.780 Oh, yeah, I laughed.
00:11:26.960 Yeah, definitely.
00:11:27.620 There was a sort of, you know what I'm talking about, a certain American Midwestern vibe to it about how life kind of sucks and is boring and these silly opinions from men on the street and so on.
00:11:44.640 I always liked the Onion.
00:11:46.080 And I agree that the Onion was becoming cringe, liberal, and woke.
00:11:52.560 And that was not good.
00:11:55.100 They were better when they were edgy.
00:11:58.500 And when you're woke, you can't really be edgy, I guess, unless you're calling someone a Nazi or something.
00:12:04.260 You know, and that, how many times can you tell that joke?
00:12:06.940 I find the Babylon Bee very tedious.
00:12:09.660 It seems like what they do is they take like a boomer tweet and then turn that into a headline.
00:12:18.620 And so it's like the boomer opinion about AOC being retarded or something is like that's the origin of the story.
00:12:29.640 And then the headline will be, you know, AOC is angry because she's, in fact, mentally disabled and not retarded.
00:12:39.380 Or so the jokes just don't land.
00:12:43.440 And it's very rare that I grin at a Babylon Bee thing.
00:12:48.800 Now, Babylon Bee started out very interestingly.
00:12:51.580 And you hear that Babylon.
00:12:52.820 So it's a sort of Old Testament notion of the chosen Jewish people vis-a-vis Babylon.
00:12:59.460 We're captives in Babylon.
00:13:01.800 This, you know, din of iniquity and sin and et cetera.
00:13:06.920 And they would, I think they would, what I read is that early on they would make sort of self-deprecating jokes about evangelical Christians
00:13:17.000 and Joel Osteen and Kirk Cameron and things like that, which I find sort of innocuous.
00:13:25.900 But then they became hyper-political.
00:13:29.000 And you, I'm sure a lot of people read the Babylon Bee and don't really know that they're evangelical Christian
00:13:35.540 because they're making fun of the wokesters.
00:13:37.900 You know, what was, they got banned for like Rachel Levine, Man of the Year or something, or Woman of the Year.
00:13:43.480 I don't know which is funnier, but, you know, they've done the whole, you know, 2020 through 2024,
00:13:52.500 we hate the woke, they're transing the kids, et cetera.
00:13:56.600 They did all that stuff and it got very political and they got banned.
00:14:01.160 But as you're saying, and I'll just reiterate because I think it's important,
00:14:06.400 is that, you know, George W. Bush at one point in 2007 had 20% approval rating.
00:14:15.400 It was just in the dumpster.
00:14:18.160 Who were those people who never left him?
00:14:21.260 Who were those people?
00:14:22.420 They were white evangelical Protestants in the suburbs and rural areas,
00:14:28.780 and maybe some people in cities like Dallas or Houston.
00:14:31.540 They never left his side.
00:14:34.860 And you sort of have to have, you've got to rally the base at some point.
00:14:39.300 You can't constantly reach out to new people.
00:14:42.340 And I think the Babylon Bee, under the cover of humor, because it's a huge, you know, publication,
00:14:48.820 I would assume it's bigger than The Onion.
00:14:51.740 Through the, under the cover of humor, you can rally those people and sort of push their buttons.
00:15:00.220 I guess what bothers me about the Babylon Bee is that kind of self-congratulatory tone,
00:15:06.900 you know, that The Onion never had in, say, circa 2004.
00:15:10.720 The Onion would sort of make fun of Midwesterners for being like broke or poor or not getting chicks
00:15:18.460 or kind of boring or like that.
00:15:20.680 It's kind of funny when you're poking fun at yourself.
00:15:23.320 But when you're congratulating yourself about not being, you know, a Marxist or something,
00:15:30.760 it's not funny, in my opinion.
00:15:34.820 It's not introspective.
00:15:37.260 It's not, you know, it, anyway.
00:15:39.740 But I think you're absolutely right.
00:15:42.600 Like, there's the personal element to Elon,
00:15:45.380 but there's also a bigger element to this whole game that he's in.
00:15:52.620 Absolutely.
00:15:53.580 I agree with everything there.
00:15:55.880 And it's impressive that this is all happening.
00:16:00.540 Ultimately, the Babylon Bee is the carrier of Ashley as an employee.
00:16:06.340 The Babylon Bee has been censored from X.
00:16:09.520 One of the biggest investments of Elon in his life is to purchase back X Twitter
00:16:16.280 so that a joke about trance can pass.
00:16:19.760 Now, what is Elon's great frustration in life?
00:16:23.180 It's the fact that his own child got tranced.
00:16:26.580 So we're in the rotation between the old relationships of Elon and the new ones.
00:16:33.620 Elon is going to war with what he calls the woke mind virus,
00:16:37.220 which, in my view, when he says these words inside of him,
00:16:41.800 what resonates is they took my child's dick,
00:16:45.800 they cut my child's testicles.
00:16:48.620 And so there he is in a kind of vengeance path from an old relationship,
00:16:54.840 forming a new relationship and a new alliance.
00:16:58.720 And Ashley Sinclair becomes the bearer of the fruit of this new alliance,
00:17:03.720 which is, yes, we're going to make jokes against the trance.
00:17:07.640 Yes, we're going to buy the platforms if we need to,
00:17:11.120 because we need to fight the woke mind virus.
00:17:14.120 We need to fight what led to the sterilization of my child.
00:17:18.880 Do you, do you, this is a pointed question.
00:17:21.720 Do you think that Seth Dillon quite literally whored out his employee?
00:17:28.620 Because it sort of, it sort of seems like that.
00:17:32.940 What do you mean?
00:17:33.860 Well, she was working at the Babylon Bee.
00:17:37.400 First off, that in itself is sort of interesting,
00:17:40.500 because my question with Ashley Sinclair or like Isabella DeLuca or whatever,
00:17:46.140 it's like, who are you?
00:17:48.520 Like, like you, as I don't know, I'm sorry.
00:17:52.400 I mentioned this on the last podcast, but let's reiterate.
00:17:55.020 So I was in New York City a couple of months ago.
00:17:59.140 If you, I remember eating brunch with two people who might very well be on this call.
00:18:05.160 If you go eat brunch in Manhattan, you are surrounded by women who are better looking,
00:18:15.960 smarter, more tasteful, which that's a low bar with Ashley Sinclair.
00:18:21.380 Like, she's mid.
00:18:24.060 I mean, I don't know what to say.
00:18:25.760 Like, maybe I don't, you know, if you're at a truck stop in Montana, maybe it's like,
00:18:31.300 holy shit, this is the most, this is the Venus herself.
00:18:34.660 But among women, these conservative like e-thoughts or e-girls are just kind of mid.
00:18:45.320 I just have to be honest, like you could walk down Manhattan and see in a, in a, in like a,
00:18:52.200 a half an hour, see like a hundred women who are better looking, more put together and smarter
00:19:00.100 than these e-girls.
00:19:02.380 Like it's, it's weird.
00:19:04.760 But so, but anyway, Ashley Sinclair is not funny.
00:19:07.680 She has no sense of humor outside of like, oh, look at me.
00:19:11.900 I'm so relatable or that's like the limit.
00:19:14.200 So why is she working at a comical satirical website?
00:19:19.560 What is she adding?
00:19:20.900 If not, she's just a kind of mascot or maybe something a little bit darker.
00:19:28.440 Yeah.
00:19:28.980 I mean, personally, I work with the hypothesis.
00:19:32.140 I don't have a proof of this, but personally, my working hypothesis,
00:19:35.980 when I think of Ashley Sinclair, Babylon Bee, it's Mossad.
00:19:40.280 It's literally just a Mossad outpost.
00:19:43.480 Right.
00:19:44.520 You'll never get to know, but clearly they've been, they've been pushing American politics
00:19:50.300 in that direction, which would be absolutely favorable to Mossad more, more efficiently
00:19:55.980 than they could have done if it was their literal mission.
00:20:01.260 So that's how I approach it.
00:20:03.140 Now, there's the question of how does a woman like this attract the attention of Elon Musk?
00:20:09.580 Because I've studied Elon Musk's partner choice, and it's, Elon Musk has a sense for female
00:20:17.100 cognition.
00:20:18.380 It's all about the structure of female cognition.
00:20:21.520 He fell in love with his first, first wife from Ontario in Canada because he was in love
00:20:29.160 with her books and she had drive.
00:20:32.440 She wanted to write books and she felt confident in herself.
00:20:35.780 Then he fell in love with Grimes, who is this out there artist, vagabond style.
00:20:43.460 So extremely weird.
00:20:44.620 He's kind of the coolest one.
00:20:47.200 Absolutely.
00:20:48.040 The coolest one from a social standing perspective.
00:20:51.200 Then Shivan Zilis, a CEO of Neuralink, postdoc type, super scientist, super artist.
00:20:59.560 So what, what sort of put together, she's the classy one, you know, is the one who, yeah,
00:21:06.180 who would make sense as an actual wife.
00:21:08.620 Yeah.
00:21:08.900 She never caused problems.
00:21:11.020 All of the other women have caused problems in Elon's life.
00:21:14.060 She's always standing back and being, being happy with what she has.
00:21:19.260 So absolutely the model wife there.
00:21:21.800 But what in Ashley St.
00:21:23.880 Clair could trigger Elon's desire for cognitive diversity?
00:21:28.680 I have difficulty seeing it other than perhaps her standing as a Babylon Bee led Elon to assume
00:21:36.560 that she was of some sort of journalistic quality or Elon has just changed his pattern.
00:21:44.060 And he was attracted by just her looks and he didn't care about cognition anymore.
00:21:49.900 Or the turn option.
00:21:51.600 Oh, go ahead.
00:21:52.400 Yeah.
00:21:52.900 Which I will call the Kanye Echo.
00:21:55.760 Let's not forget that Kanye has these rhymes and he's friends with Elon.
00:22:00.020 And Kanye has these rhymes where he states, how are you going to call me anti-Semitic?
00:22:05.620 I just fucked a J B.
00:22:08.860 And Kanye is suggesting here that you can prove that you're not anti-Semitic by having sex,
00:22:16.820 reproductive sex with a Jewish woman in these rhymes.
00:22:20.180 Is it possible that Elon went for this, that he says, I'll do it.
00:22:25.080 If they're after me, if the advertisers are after me, I want to re-ecalibrate my advertising.
00:22:31.340 I'm going to have one more Jewish baby.
00:22:33.180 I think that makes a lot of sense.
00:22:37.720 If it was a genuine attraction to something, when you see someone who's blown up, like Ashley St. Clair,
00:22:46.200 she has a million followers or more, you sort of wonder, okay, what's there?
00:22:52.860 You know, she must be, she must have some sort of intelligence, even if I can't see it, you know?
00:23:00.060 And fair enough.
00:23:01.820 But that's almost like a generous interpretation of what's going on.
00:23:06.880 I think your interpretation, I mean, when he, your interpretation is probably correct.
00:23:12.920 When he was out there saying, like, go fuck yourself.
00:23:16.260 Yes, he was being combative and aggressive, but he might have genuinely been scared, you know?
00:23:23.240 I mean, Disney, Apple, these big companies that spend millions, they're shutting him out.
00:23:32.340 And he might have said, well, I've got to go this other way this time.
00:23:39.680 Absolutely.
00:23:40.280 I think Elon is influenceable.
00:23:42.940 It's what fascinates me with these autistic minds of very powerful and known people.
00:23:49.780 They, they're not fully autistically stubborn to the point of ignoring.
00:23:54.560 And that's probably what leads them to their success.
00:23:57.160 It's, they have some connection with the world of humans and Elon, Trump are always influenceable in ways that I wouldn't be.
