00:00:53.000 Go to noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:00:58.000 Okay, everybody.
00:00:59.000 What a chaotic day.
00:01:00.000 It is unfolding in real time.
00:01:01.000 President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's feud is going into public.
00:01:05.000 And actually, I'm getting caught up in it.
00:01:07.000 Elon Musk has unfollowed me on Twitter.
00:01:10.000 We need to say this out of the outset.
00:01:11.000 We should be thankful to Elon Musk for buying X, for liberating speech, for putting up his money and his time and his treasure to try and save Western civilization.
00:01:22.000 We should be very thankful for that in more ways than one.
00:01:26.000 But now this is turning into a chaotic mess, to say the least.
00:01:31.000 So the...
00:01:40.000 It's going back and forth and back and forth.
00:01:42.000 So it started with Elon Musk saying, quote, without me, Trump would have lost the election.
00:01:46.000 Democrats would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.
00:01:50.000 Such ingratitude.
00:01:52.000 That's a complicated statement by Elon.
00:01:55.000 He basically saying that because of him, we won the 2024 election.
00:02:00.000 Now, he played a role for sure.
00:02:02.000 Turning Point played a role.
00:02:04.000 This was President Trump's victory.
00:02:05.000 Let's be honest.
00:02:06.000 He is the one why people showed up.
00:02:08.000 By the millions to go and vote for him.
00:02:10.000 It's because of President Donald Trump, who got shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, that he was able to outperform the polls again.
00:02:17.000 So then it prompted President Donald Trump to respond, quote, Elon was wearing thin.
00:02:23.000 I asked him to leave.
00:02:25.000 I took away his electric vehicle mandate that forced everyone to buy electric cars that nobody else wanted, that he knew for months I was going to do, and he just went crazy.
00:02:34.000 Donald Trump continued, quote, The easiest way to save money in our budget billions and billions of dollars is to terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts.
00:02:44.000 I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it.
00:02:47.000 And then Elon responded to a tweet from Laura Loomer back and forth saying, quote, Oh, and some food for thought as they ponder this question.
00:02:55.000 Trump has three and a half years left as president, but I will be around for 40 plus years.
00:03:00.000 Elon then drops the thermonuclear bomb.
00:03:04.000 He drops the bomb that broke the internet.
00:03:06.000 And honestly, it's not even what he thinks it is and what the internet thinks it is, which is one of the reasons why we're talking right now.
00:03:14.000 Elon Musk says, quote, Now, to be clear, President Donald Trump had an adversarial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:03:33.000 The idea that now, 10 years after President Trump put down the golden escalator, all of a sudden there's going to be a new, previously not known, terrible allegation against President Trump.
00:03:44.000 The guy that was sued into oblivion by E. Jean Carroll and Stormy Daniels.
00:03:49.000 Now, 10 years later, we're supposed to believe there's going to be a smoking gun of something in the Epstein files.
00:03:54.000 But what is in the Epstein files is, yes, President Donald Trump is probably mentioned.
00:03:59.000 He was mentioned in the Epstein file dump back in February.
00:04:01.000 You know why?
00:04:03.000 Palm Beach, there's probably thousands of names in the Epstein files.
00:04:07.000 Was he part of the Epstein client list?
00:04:09.000 Absolutely not.
00:04:10.000 That is complete nonsense.
00:04:12.000 Elon Musk then sends another tweet about how we're going to go ahead and make my day about ending the International Space Station and providing no safe way to de-orbit.
00:04:24.000 And then Elon Musk responds to a...
00:04:33.000 I wish this would all be handled privately.
00:04:36.000 I wish greatly this would all be handled behind closed doors.
00:04:39.000 But to say that Donald Trump is not releasing the Epstein files because he's in them in some incriminating way, yes, it's very clear that if you live in Palm Beach, you might have been mentioned and caught up in some sort of conversation with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:04:57.000 There is zero chance whatsoever on any planet anytime soon that we're supposed to believe that all of a sudden, after 10 years, they finally got Donald Trump because he's listed in the Epstein files.
00:05:09.000 Now, Elon Musk is coming hard after Donald Trump.
00:05:11.000 He's also threatening to start a third party.
00:05:14.000 He's saying, quote, is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?
00:05:20.000 And the vast majority of people are saying yes.
00:05:23.000 There is really no way to sugarcoat it.
00:05:27.000 This is a pile of garbage, what is happening right now between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
00:05:34.000 But honestly, in some ways, if you look at it at its fundamental core, it's not going to be a movement breaker.
00:05:39.000 A month from now, we probably won't be talking about this.
00:05:41.000 Two months from now, this is largely just heightened tensions and a lot of passions and emotions, and there's a waxing and a waning that comes forward between Elon and Donald Trump.
00:05:53.000 But we must also be very clear.
00:05:55.000 It's President Trump who won the election.
00:05:57.000 He's the one that got elected.
00:05:59.000 While we're thankful for what Elon did when the chips were down, Elon Musk did not win the election.
00:06:04.000 He was not on the ballot.
00:06:06.000 And Elon Musk is worth $420 billion.
00:06:09.000 Tesla, by the way, is down over $100 billion in market cap.
00:06:13.000 And just to think that this is all because of the big, beautiful bill.
00:06:18.000 I think it's actually deeper than that.
00:06:20.000 I think it's much more fundamental.
00:06:23.000 The question of who is the President of the United States and who did the people elect?
00:06:27.000 This was bubbling up below the surface, and I hope that they'll be able to remedy it, and I think they can, because we want the world's wealthiest man and the world's richest man on the same page.
00:06:36.000 We want them working in harmony.
00:06:38.000 We want them in agreement with another.
00:06:40.000 You saw last week the attempted press conference between President Trump and Elon Musk, which was trying to say, you know, here's a good way of departure.
00:06:48.000 Here's a good way to try to say goodbye.
00:06:52.000 It is unfortunate that we now have to get to the accusations acting as if President Donald Trump is somehow intimately involved with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:07:00.000 Here's President Trump's remarks before the blowup.
00:07:03.000 You can see he's kind of being restrained with the German Chancellor.
00:07:07.000 He said the most beautiful things about me.
00:07:10.000 And he hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next.
00:07:13.000 But I'm very disappointed in Elon.
00:07:15.000 I've helped Elon a lot.
00:07:17.000 All of this to say.
00:07:19.000 That we still have a big, beautiful bill to pass?
00:07:22.000 It's not perfect, but it's good.
00:07:24.000 This is the highest-profile legislative fight that we have currently had in our lifetime.
00:07:30.000 And I can't help but think that this is exactly what the media and the Democrats have always wanted.
00:07:37.000 The stoking of this feud, this kind of continuation of this narrative, only plays into the New York Times.
00:07:48.000 Plays into CNN and plays into the opposition's playbook.
00:07:54.000 And by the way, just so we're clear, Elon Musk got grokked by his own AI.
00:08:00.000 Evidence shows that Donald Trump's name is in the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs, part of Epstein files, but there's no indication of wrongdoing.
00:08:07.000 The files were released by the Trump administration on February 25, 2025, contradicting claims that they were withheld to protect him.
00:08:13.000 While speculation persists, no new incriminating details about how Trump have emerged from credible sources.
00:08:18.000 The topic is controversial.
00:08:20.000 Public narratives often differ from certain and public facts.
00:08:26.000 Verified facts, I should say.
00:08:27.000 So it's actually, it's just not true.
00:08:29.000 It is just a heightened food fight between the world's wealthiest man and the world's richest man.
00:08:37.000 You know, one of the biggest lies being sold to American people right now is that you're in control of your money, especially when it comes to crypto.
00:08:43.000 But the truth, most of these so-called crypto platforms are just banks in disguise, fully capable of freezing your assets the moment some bureaucrat makes a phone call.
00:08:52.000 That is not what Bitcoin was built for.
00:08:54.000 That's why I use Bitcoin.com.
00:08:56.000 I just did a major transaction on it.
00:08:58.000 They offer a self-custodial wallet, which means you hold the keys.
00:09:02.000 You control your assets.
00:09:04.000 No one can touch your crypto.
00:09:05.000 Not the IRS or not a rogue bank.
00:09:08.000 Not some three-letter agency that thinks it knows better than you do.
00:09:11.000 This is how it was intended by the original creators of Bitcoin.
00:09:14.000 Peer-to-peer money, free from centralized control, free from surveillance, and free from arbitrary seizure.
00:09:20.000 So if you're serious about financial sovereignty, go to Bitcoin.com, set up your wallet, take back control, because if you don't hold the keys, you don't own your money.
00:09:28.000 Bitcoin.com.
00:09:29.000 Freedom starts here.

00:09:35.000 Whose side are you on?
00:09:36.000 Are you on side President Trump or on Elon Musk?
00:09:39.000 You don't even have to take a side.
00:09:41.000 But I will say this.
00:09:43.000 President Donald Trump has been doing this for 10 years.
00:09:45.000 He has been in the arena.
00:09:46.000 He's been in the trenches.
00:09:48.000 He has been fighting with grit and fortitude and everything possibly thrown at him.
00:09:53.000 Elon's been in the fight for Western civilization for a couple years, and he's been in the political fight for about 10 months.
00:10:00.000 This is a very, very big back and forth, high stakes, but I'll tell you, President Donald Trump's the one that has deserved credit for staying in the arena.
00:10:10.000 I would not want to bet against him in any way, shape, or form.
00:10:13.000 I hope they can remedy this.
00:10:14.000 I hope there can be some sort of healing.
00:10:16.000 Hey, Elon, you're welcome to follow me back at any time.
00:10:19.000 But Elon, honestly, I don't take it personally.
00:10:21.000 I always said, hey, this is cool that the world's richest man is following me on Twitter.
00:10:24.000 It's cool that I was able to call him a friend for a certain time.
00:10:27.000 I'm not bitter.
00:10:28.000 I'm not upset.
00:10:30.000 I'm not angry.
00:10:31.000 I'm like, you know what?
00:10:32.000 It was a cool learning and teaching moment.
00:10:34.000 I got to see how one of the most productive, eccentric, one of the most...
00:10:42.000 I was able to see kind of how unique President Trump and Elon Musk were.
00:10:46.000 I've been at dinners with both of them at Mar-a-Lago and sitting down and see how they think about the world and how they converse with one another.
00:10:55.000 That was pretty awesome to see.
00:10:56.000 Pretty amazing to witness.
00:10:57.000 And that chapter's coming to an end.
00:10:59.000 So be it.
00:11:00.000 And I'm not bitter about it.
00:11:01.000 Instead, I'm thankful that all this was able to happen.
00:11:04.000 I'm thankful.
00:11:05.000 That we are able to have Elon Musk's support.
00:11:07.000 I think this is all going to calm down and there will be better days ahead.
00:11:11.000 And Elon, if you want to follow me back, you're always welcome.
00:11:13.000 If you want to come back to be part of the saving Western civilization movement, once tensions go down, that invite will always be extended because we have to be focused on the true threat to Western civilization.
00:11:25.000 The threat is Marxism.
00:11:26.000 The threat is open borders.
00:11:28.000 The threat is the ever-growing portion of totalitarianism.
00:11:31.000 And so with that...
00:11:37.000 President Donald Trump is not on the Epstein client list.
00:11:41.000 That's just the silly accusation that has temporarily broke the internet.
00:11:45.000 So text this to your friends.
00:11:47.000 We're going to keep a close eye on the feud between Elon and President Trump.
00:11:52.000 Not nearly as big of a deal as you might think it is.
00:11:56.000 With that, I also want to say, I actually had another thought come to me, which is that when you have two titans, Two alphas that are kind of going back and forth to one another.
00:12:08.000 It is understandable, it is very normal, that neither is going to bend the knee.
00:12:14.000 You have to wonder, what nuclear war could you go above than accusing somebody of being in the Epstein files?
00:12:22.000 And as we're doing this right now, I'm sure President Trump is cooking up another salvo to launch at Elon.
00:12:28.000 But understand, our movement is bigger than just Elon.
00:12:32.000 It's bigger than just one person.
00:12:33.000 This is a nationalist, populist movement of people of different backgrounds, different races, and different creeds, different religions, coming together to save this beautiful thing called Western civilization, to save the consent of the governed, to save separation of powers, to save the divine providence that we have here in the West.
00:12:55.000 And the enemy would love to do nothing more than to try to tear us apart with venom and with accusation and with kind of a poisonous and pernicious intent.
00:13:06.000 We're going to stay keeping the main thing the main thing.
00:13:10.000 And we are on Team America.
00:13:12.000 We hope Elon and President Trump can heal this difference and heal these divides, come to some form of reconciliation, because it is, after all, the reconciliation bill.
00:13:24.000 That caused some of the severance.
00:13:26.000 But knowing both of these men and knowing President Trump much better than Elon, but knowing both of these men, I can tell you, I think that there's going to be a peace treaty moment, a calming down, a moment where both sides come together and we know that we are stronger against the left than we are divided.
00:13:47.000 Elon Musk is no longer following me, but that's okay.
00:13:49.000 We're thankful to his contribution to the West.
00:13:51.000 Hope this gets solved soon.
00:13:53.000 What team are you on?
00:13:54.000 I'm on Team America, and we follow President Trump as we move onward to save this beautiful country.
00:13:59.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
