But like at the time, the House bill was like worth going after. Well, he could have known, he could have known ahead of time, right? He could have known ahead of time that they were going to do that. Maybe, but he's, listen, my take on, like he's pulled his punches.
He's not going as hard as he could to stop the bill, right? Like he's realized that like this is the political reality now. Although I'm really hopeful America Party, right? He said the day after. So like, I'm expecting 4th of July, the launch of the America Party.
You know what's funny is John, the same thing that you described Elon going through with a punch to the gut is exactly what Trump went through his first time in office. When he got to DC, he had this, I'm going to clean up this town, you know, new sheriff mentality. I'm going to drain the swamp.
Drain the swamp was actually the slogan, right? And when he got there, what he found was that it was far, far larger in scale. And I mean by orders of magnitude, right? And far deeper than you could ever imagine. And it even installed people like swampy things around him in his own administration because he didn't have any way to navigate, to know how to navigate that terrain.
And I think that, you know, Trump realized at a certain point that to win, you have to play the game a little bit. And that's unfortunate, you know, for somebody who hasn't really dealt with DC for like a sustained period of time. And I feel like that's kind of like that shell shock that Elon probably got exposed to this last, you know, few weeks.
Well, you got people that are used to like building something. Oh, Nick, I'm sorry, but you're writing. So yeah, your connection is trashed, bro.
When you have somebody that's used to getting their way and building stuff, and I mean, you know, it doesn't just take a business to star base. I mean, just look at any Tesla product or anything or look at X, look at Starlink, look at all this stuff. I mean, Elon builds amazing stuff, right?
