"Everyone Hates You." Elon Had the Perfect Response.

Sometimes it feels like it's Elon Musk versus the entire world. Well, yesterday, Elon faced off against an interviewer who literally told him to his face, everyone hates you. And Elon handled the whole thing with aplomb. AOC and her socialist friends also railed against data centers, including Elon Musk's with completely made up grievances. And we examine the truth about data centers. Will they take up the entirety of America's farmland? Will they be a gigantic scar visible from space on the face of America? Well, the short answer is no. Let's dive in. There are large scale economic battles happening here in the country. And a lot of that battle is whether we should innovate or not. We've been discussing this for a while. Artificial intelligence. I understand the concerns about what people believe AI is going to do. I understand that, of course, anytime there's a new technology, there are job dislocations. And then those jobs end up being absorbed back into the new forms of the economy that are created by the innovation. This happened with industrialization. It happened with the information age. And it's going to happen again with AI. There is an overt campaign to destroy innovation in America. It's a campaign that is fostered by China and Russia and the DSA types. And yes, the Tucker Carlson types. It is a very real thing. Well, the White House is fighting back against this, as the White House should. So yesterday, the White House put out a press release, but they called their ratepayer protection pledge. They asked for a public commitment that hyperscalers, AI companies and the utilities and data center developers behind them will build, bring or buy every kilowatt their facilities need and cover every dollar of the infrastructure that delivers it. American households and businesses should not be footing the bill. 200 plus organizations committed to do this, including Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, XAI, OpenAI, and Amazon. Of course, they committed to it because it's good for them also to actually build more energy facilities to help pay for the energy that's going to go into AI. So this is good. And the White House emphasized that data centers are not just AI. They said every phone call rooted, every plane sequence through the skies, every Amazon order, hospital chart, credit card swipe and Netflix stream. Getting the economics right protects far more than the AI boom. And this is right. The president himself pointed out that revenue from these data centers in places like Georgia allows them to reduce property tax, which, of course, is true. The revenue from Google's data center construction is allowing them to eliminate property taxes entirely. And that's what you call using it to your advantage. The numbers are so incredible. Nobody's ever seen. You know, all my life, the biggest building in the whole world was the Pentagon. And you can fit 25 pentagons into some of these buildings, 25. And if you happen to be a community and there's very little disruption, they're just large. They go on for miles. And frankly, if you like certain types of things, they're incredible to look at to see that we could do something like this. But they also throw off tremendous amounts of money for the community. And again, he is not wrong about this. He's not wrong about this. Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, he says the same thing. He says, you know, I noticed is that our power generation is going up and our rates are actually going down because of the additional facilities being built. But the best thing is, is our power generation is going up. Our rates are going down. He is right about that. Also, as Elon Musk says, and this is important for innovators to make the case, he says that AI is going to get better and better and it's actually going to create abundance, which is what better technologies do. They create more material abundance. This is what innovation has always done. AI may exceed the sum of human intelligence in about in around five years. In five years? Roughly five years is my guess. So there really won't be anything that AI can't do better than humans, apart from being human, perhaps. In a more prosaic level, what will life be like? The most likely outcome is an age of amazing abundance where anyone can have anything they can think of. This may sound preposterous, but well, here we are in 2026. Let's see where we stand in 2036. He's right about this, by the way. Again, people who are anti-innovation, do they understand how much innovation has already happened in the last 10 years? Just take a quick personal example. So my father was in a car crash and he is still recovering somewhat, but he's fine. So my father, he had to get a new car because the car that he had was totaled in this car crash. Somebody broadsided him while he was making a left. And I encouraged him that he should get a Tesla. And the reason I encouraged him to get a Tesla is because Tesla's self-driving mechanism is unbelievable. And particularly as you get older and your response time goes down and you have vision problems at night and all the rest of it, Tesla's driving is significantly safer than you driving. And my father, who's always a very aggressive driver, he has used Tesla self-drive pretty much everywhere. And he said, and he's correct, that he feels significantly more relaxed and safer because the car is seeing things he wouldn't see. The car is responding in ways he wouldn't necessarily respond in safer ways than he would. Like, can you imagine how many lives are going to be saved by just the self-driving? The more self-driving takes over, it will save legitimately tens of thousands of lives in this country every single year. Innovation is a good thing. Naturally, the left is very much against it because the left wishes to freeze the economy, shrink the economy and redistribute everything. So just last week, AOC was trying to make the case that we should oppose the data centers because they're making people sick. I don't know what she is claiming, making people sick based on what? There's no control over the radiation that's happening here. And what we see is that these plants produce that ash and then they have to do something. That's right. All they're trying to do is dump it places. Where do they dump it in places? Rural areas, poor areas, disenfranchised areas, black and brown areas. Meanwhile, all these folks are getting sick. Guarantee you we've got a high Medicaid population. And so now they're profiting off of all of this and they don't have to pitch into the cost at all for the health care burden. Well, what evidence does she have? Does she have a single bit of evidence that data centers are making people sick? Does she have one iota of evidence about this? Of course not. The idea, by the way, that they are disproportionately dumping data centers in black and brown areas is nuts. That's really silly. They're putting data centers in proximity to areas where people can work on the AI. And do you think they're just going to build a data center, what, in the middle of midtown Manhattan or something? Hey, let us look at a map on how we use our land because we're being told that all of our precious farmland is being eaten by the data centers. Our precious bodily fluids are being utilized. This is a map of the United States. For those who cannot see, each square here on this map is about a million acres. Basically, the entire map or nearly the entire map is either pasture and range, cropland or forest. There are a few special use areas, diminishingly small urban areas. So the vast majority of America is, believe it or not, population empty, a very, very small population. And based on the analysis of one Andy Masley, by 2028, data centers will take up, of this entire map, 3.5 squares on this entire map. Actually, we are going to be dedicating, according to Masley, by 2030, data center buildings will take up one-fifteenth of the land we use to grow Christmas trees in America. Basically, 0.3 percent of the land that we use for prime farmland. This is just silly. But the catastrophism is designed to kill the innovation. The point is not to save our precious farmland. The point is to destroy the innovation. That's what this is all about. Elon Musk was pointing this out. He was speaking with Zanny Betos of The Economist. He was talking about a wide variety of issues. And he points out that the sort of socialistic redistribution scheme is nonsense. And so is the envy that suggests that he isn't paying his taxes. For my stock options, I pay 40 percent income tax on a national basis. And then because I spend, I don't know, about 30 percent of my time in California, thereabouts, I pay another sort of roughly a third of the California state taxes, which is now around 15 percent. So I pay about 45 percent in taxes, just so people know this. So roughly half. Then when I die, there'll be another sort of 45 percent, roughly half, that will be taxed. So at the end of the day, I'll probably have a quarter of whatever I have. Well, she then went after him and said, people really, really hate him. And he said, well, they hate the media, too. It turns out they hate a lot of people. But do you see why this makes people think that this man who has all this power, he's the world's richest man. He thinks he has a right to influence our politics. It makes people. It's why we started this conversation saying superlatives. It's why people loathe you. I mean, some people do loathe you. Yes, some people do. But do you understand why? Do you think what you're doing is helpful for Western democracy? Maybe some people do loathe me. And that's probably true. I don't care. But the fact that, as you pointed out, a quarter billion people follow me is that I think a lot more people actually like me than don't. And I think a lot more people hate you and the media more than you realize. Again, he is not wrong. And this is one of the points that is worth making. It turns out that normie, rational Americans, they like things like free markets and American strength. We do. We do. OK, that's why the DSA program, it's too online. It just is. So President Trump was going off on Nate Silver's poll of DSA members demonstrating that they are essentially overeducated white people who don't earn a lot of money. And he says they're losers. And he happens to be correct. We have to stop the threat of the communist rhetoric that you're hearing right now, because these people, they don't act. I'm very happy a poll came out. It said they're highly educated, but doing very poorly. In other words, they're losers. They went to school. They got a good education. Now they can't. They don't know what they're doing. So what they do is they complain about people like yourselves that have done so well. But we can't let the communist ideology even we don't want to even think about it for this country. It would be terrible. Well, he is right about that. Meanwhile, AOC is still trying to cram the DSA box into the we just want health care thing. That's not what the DSA is saying. That's not what they're saying at all. It's not going to work. Do Republicans really think that this stuff is going to happen? No, they don't. They're trying to scare people because they don't want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care in this country. So they want to call it communist and they want to call everything they don't like communist because if people actually wake up to the to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, then they're going to realize that they deserve better and that health care is a right. Isn't crazy. It isn't pie in the sky. They want to call this stuff communist because they don't want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care in this country. So they want to call it communist because they don't want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada, everybody else has it better than us. And we spent the most amount of money for the worst care in the modern developed world. That is not actually why people are opposing communism. And also, the UK does not have a better off than we do. James Carville, agree with President Trump about the DSA. When James Carville and Trump are linking arms, you know, it's probably politically true. These people are paternalistic and it's a bunch of overeducated little white turds who think they know more than other people know, and they know what's wrong. And they're going to go and then you got, they're talking about indicting Netanyahu. And that the problem is you have a candidate, a DSA candidate in New York saying we should be against interracial dating. Let me tell you something. These people, and these are to all my black friends and friends, people like me, they think they know more than you do. Okay, now he is not wrong about the fact that the DSA is disproportionately white, which is why black populations don't particularly like the DSA. The DSA future leaders actually were lamenting that the DSA is too white centered. These would be candidates for seats on the DSA's national leadership body. A strong group of comrades in this organization feel like they have been left behind and are ignored because of these different issues stemming from a predominant notion of whiteness within YDSA. Um, having a disdain for a space for us to like accurately, you know, address those things and let out those things. It's, it's what the white man wants from you. And I, I, I hate to see comrades that look like me and other people in my slate having that sentiment. So. I've seen how white the organization is. I'm running for NCC at large with the global majority slate under the commitments of diversifying a disproportionately white YDSA. A lot of the times people feel alienated and don't want to organize with us because of our white centered organizational practices and our lack of anti-imperialist sentiment.
