is starlink a potential solution for that?lly, you he operates in heavily regulated entities. are there opportunities within nasa to get more contracts for space x? those are the things that kind of people have asked me at raymond james. exactly what should we expect musk to continue to get if he's in such a. >> catbird seat here? >> but but the point being, as for now, it's mostly indirect. >> yes. >> yeah. interesting. all right ed appreciate it for joining us today. ed mills from raymond james on musk's influence. coming up, wells fargo writing that the combination of tariffs plus the suspension of that de minimis exemption, that's for little packages and imports below $800, that could have a material impact on prices here in the us and in the e-commerce space. etsy and amazon, wells says, could be best positioned if those tariffs stay in place. they have less. cross-border competition could even improve etsy's marketing efficiency. google and meta could be hit the hardest due to their exposure to both china based sellers a

>> well, have you heard of starlink? guess who contracts for starlink to provide communication services? certainly in ukraine and other parts of the world. the military. let's see, shall we put a satellite in orbit? who's going to launch that satellite? well, it's going to be elon musk's program, his space program, billions of dollars of contracts. it's going to be enormous conflict of interest. the corruption angle is extraordinary. that's not to say it's not necessary that the pentagon be carefully reviewed. i could probably name a $200 billion saving right off the top of my head. and that's the replacement of the minuteman missile with the new sentinel missile. not necessary. $200 billion over the next decade, 20 billion a year. and by the way, a new bomb to go with it. not necessary for the protection of the united states, and certainly not necessary for nuclear security. beyond that, there are numerous programs and a careful look. but if elon musk wants to venture into the pentagon, he best be ready for a conflict o

though starlink consoles were just a fraction of the business that musk does. musk companies do what the federal government over the past decade. just two of his companies, tesla and spacex, have won more than $15 billion in contracts, according to the new york times. not chump change. most of that comes from his spacex business, which effectively dictates nasa's rocket launch schedule. last september, the faa announced plans to find space for skirting launch safety rules, including using an unapproved launch control room. that same day, musk lashed out, saying humanity will forever be confined to earth unless there is radical reform at the faa. a week after that, musk called for the resignation of the faa's chief. then last month, in the final days of the biden administration, a spacex starship spacex starship exploded shortly after takeoff, spreading an estimated 100 tons of debris beyond protected areas. air traffic controllers had to deal with the aftermath of that, with the planes that they were guiding safely. there were reports of debris and damage on th

elon musk is directly affected by the black economic empowerment laws when it comes to having starlink accepted in south africa. in order to provide services there. so while i emphasize the role of trump's foreign policy, it's important to also bear in mind that elon is playing a big role when it comes to washington's attitude towards south africa. i think president trump recognizes the strategic importance of the relationship with south africa. it's been there. it's during his time. and there was, you know, some fraught relations, but mostly there was mutual commitment to work on the relationship. i think elon musk does complicate things, and i hope that sooner or later he recognizes that the international political system is not a system in which arrogance rules or the survival of the fittest, you know, and wins the day. that does need to be collaboration and collaboration. >> yeah. it'll be interesting to see how this plays out, but certainly a lot on the line here on goma. tim kaine. thank you so much for your analysis. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> in a little over two hours, vo

he's trying to get starlink into south africa, but he understands that any external business that comesws that were passed in south africa to compensate blacks for what they lost during apartheid. he is against that law, and he's determined to kind of stir up a politics around what's unfair, what's being done to whites in south africa, but never divorce his business interests. and his bottom line from the performance of a kind of anger. as far as donald trump is concerned, he's not just parroting elon musk in this moment. he has had a long held obsession with south africa. he said similar things when he was in his first term and even before being elected in 2016, he was tweeting about south africa and this bizarre, discredited fringe conspiracy notion that somehow white south african farmers are being targeted and their land is being appropriated from them illegally through extra military actions. it is not true in the least. there is no evidence of this. but he's been advancing this for some years now. and now you have the confluence of south of elon musk's interest and donald trump's

who else but elon musk and starlink? if you look at what he did with the faa, it was a bitter dispute over the fact that he got a fine from the faa. so he wanted that chief to be excommunicated. if you look at what happened with the federal trade, et cetera., and the chief over there, and you saw the the way that they clashed, that is what this is about. elon musk today got the president of the united states to help dictate policy and stop foreign aid to south africa, while allowing afrikaners to come into this country and have priority. this is not some larger mission to trim bureaucracy. this is not some america. first, we are going to go out and be and restore our prestige. this is elon musk doing what elon musk wants to do, and that's unfortunate. >> scott, respond to that notion of why this you believe is indeed america first policy, or is it not? >> look, i think this is absolutely america first, it's needed policy, and it's what people have been asking for for years. and honestly, politicians have talked about doi

starlink was being investigated by usaid. that got shut down. spacex was being investigated by the head of the faa. he got fired. or are they doing this to help putin and xi? i mean, they're the major beneficiaries of shutting down usaid. so there's just a lot of confusion and concern. >> so these are the questions your listeners are asking. they're asking why is elon musk doing this? is there something behind this other than just government efficiency? yeah, there hasn't been there, frankly. i mean, for our viewers, we haven't been getting much transparency at all. a lot of what we know is coming from reporting. jeff, i'm curious your take. you know, as i said, your center, right. i imagine a lot of your listeners are a lot of people calling in. are are they as worried about how much power elon musk wields here in washington? >> no. >> what they're. >> basically focused on is outcome and results. they know iowa elected trump by an overwhelming margin, and he did campaign side by side with elon musk and say he was going to work with him to make

and if we worry about what he might do, think about what was happening last year with starlink, whenally the ukrainian government, their communication system was thwarted by musk because he's like, i don't think i like how this war is going. the same thing could happen here. >> and so my final question to you, which goes to the leverage we showed those press barons, i think one of the challenges we all face in making sense of the world is adjusting when things are new. so rupert murdoch or randolph hearst, we have sort of a box for that. but they owned a couple of outlets and in different eras that could matter more or less. we are talking now with musk inside this quasi governmental role while doing his business, while running x, while hawking crypto about a whole different scale. we know there are leaders around the world who care about what happens on these platforms and how it affects them, both internally and externally in geopolitics. and so what do you think? as a not unlike the aforementioned robert greene, you are also a scholar and student of power about how different this

musk even rushed starlink terminals, you might recall, to north carolina, tennessee after hurricane helene, providing the only form of communication in that emergency in the aftermath. and he did the same for the people of california after the wildfires, musk also reinvented space travel. it's called space x, and soon, probably within the next month or so, elon musk will literally be having, well, be rescuing astronauts. but he's also going to send americans will be landing on mars. and in the coming months, spacex will rescue those astronauts that biden and harris abandoned and stranded at the international space station. musk also spearheaded the development of affordable, high performance electric vehicles through tesla, which you kind of think, you know, green new deal democrats, they love electric vehicles. apparently not because he supports donald trump. but that's not all through tesla. he has also transformed american manufacturing. there's also musk's life altering neuralink, the boring company that could one day solve all our traffic problems. he's also provided real freedom of s

and what was the ig of usaid doing investigating starlink, which is elon musk's company. and so he goes in there willy nilly, has control of everything. he had $1 million contract with usaid that was under investigation. >> a perfect segue, because you have some reporting about the relationship between steve bannon and elon musk. are they is he softening his tone, or are we just seeing some more subtle shade? >> it's a dance. >> it's it's a, it's a. >> i would say delicate dance, but i don't think either of those gentlemen you would describe as delicate. >> two left feet maybe. >> that's right. i mean, look like in multiple conversations with bannon, he has bashed musk in my talks with him. he said he's abusing his proximity to the president that he at one point advocated for susie wiles to sit him down and give him a talking to and tell him to take it easy. but at the same time, people like bannon and bannon himself are behind the idea of what musk should be doing. and that's largely what i'm hearing from trump world. they like it in theory, but in practice, it's getting

, stealing information, controlling agencies that provide contracts to his companies, spacex and starlink and tesla, billions of dollars and regulate those companies. so if we're worried about corruption, we should be investigating what elon musk is doing with doge. and that's exactly what i am doing through the permanent subcommittee on investigations. we've begun that investigation with letters to all those companies asking what they're doing with the information, who controls it, who's involved. but this kind of retribution really should have no place in the united states government. >> senator richard blumenthal, thanks so much for joining tonight. >> thank you. >> coming up, more on the action. president trump just announced. action he's taking against the former president, joe biden. >> lockerbie, february 16th on cnn. >> here's to getting better with. >> age. >> here's to. >> beating these two every thursday. >> help fuel today with boost high. >> protein. complete nutrition you need and the. >> flavor you love. so here's to now. >> now available. boost. max. >> speak now or foreve

companies from government contracts and also going on to say ripping up ontario's contract with starlinking to be the perceived weak spot of this administration? going after the company's of elon musk? annmarie: it is a vulnerability given that elon musk has an office in the old executive building. he has proximity to power that no other executive has. maybe this is the way they can try to needle their way into the oval office. doug ford has been sporting a hat that looks like a mega red hat but it is blue and it says canada is not for sale. lisa: it is all trying to appeal to potential factions that could influence trump. it is going after red states and products. it is going after elon musk. canadian leaders are saying where are the adults? someone rein him in. why can't you get on board? they are going after specific people that could get donald trump's ear. jonathan: saw this playbook from china in 2018. is it going to work this time? lisa: may be down the line but right now the market is not responding in a way that could force that pressure on some of the allies of donald trump. an

elon musk, once a very popular figure for tesla and some of the incredible things he's done with starlink, has a lower approval rating with the american public than donald trump does now. but to trump's advantage, he can kind of make elon the hatchet job hatchet man in the administration. so whether it's going after usaid or now, it looks like the department of education, he can allow him to take the measures he wants to to scale back the workforce. and if the public receives it poorly, he can kind of put it on elon's shoulders. this is sort of a classic trump way of going about getting things done and not necessarily taking responsibility. but i've said from the outset, i don't think this relationship is going to last long. there's one star of the show, they both have big main energy, character, main character energy. but donald trump is the one in charge. and if there's enough criticism of elon's actions, he's going to let him take the blame. >> on main character energy. >> i see. >> megan, there are two major votes. senate confirmation votes scheduled for today. the process moves along

you'd promise to rip up a multi multi-million dollar contract with elon musk's starlink internet service that i believe is just inked, signed a couple months ago, musk responded to the news when you said you were going to tear up the contract. he responded with literally saying, oh well, on social media, are you concerned that your threat there will backfire? >> no, not not at all. you know, i can't support someone hell bent on destroying our province, taking food off people's tables, destroying the economy. i just can't, you know, can't roll over. i don't want to retaliate. canada does not want to retaliate. that's the last thing we want to do. kate. we never started this. we were two great neighbors. and make no mistake about it, canadians still love americans. and i know americans love canadians. i spent 20 years of my life down in our chicago, new jersey facility, have a tremendous amount of friends. i think there's probably 8 or 900,000 people from both sides of the border living in canada versus, you know, living in the u.s. they're so integrated. we share the same values. >> there

he is a chaos agent for every company, whether it be tesla, whether it be spacex, whether it be starlink, whether it be x, whether it be x, i. but he gets results. >> and you know. >> again. >> i'm not a fan okay. like this is not somebody that i would want to do business with or work for. but when he goes in there, i don't think he's going to be long for the world there. i think he wants to kind of leave an imprint on the government. >> and i. >> think is who. >> does he. >> get results for? >> well, i mean, listen, i think it's going to be a combination of things at the end of the day. >> you. >> know, on his conference call, tesla the other night, they just reported earnings okay. and this stock has been. doubled since the quarter. >> i'm not that. no no no no no the earnings were oh no it was a disaster. this is one of the worst orders. >> all right moving on. >> no no no no stay there stay there. >> right. so i. >> guess. >> my point. >> is he made a really interesting comment on that call. he basically said to analyst investors, i go to where the problems are. so if things are work

which today said, oh, we might tariff starlink. of elon musk. amazingly, after musk, for some reason and other things, maybe they'd be willing to do that nuclear option. >> so when it comes to oil, president trump is still sort of beating up on a weakling in the sense that at some point, the 25% tariff broadly says, okay, i can ship this anywhere, but the 10% you're saying is not enough to say. and also the infrastructure that we're not going to still get a good deal on canadian oil coming down. >> it's a 25 cent increase in the price of a gallon of. gasoline for the refineries that are impacted, which. >> is illinois, ohio. >> minnesota, saint paul park outside of detroit and probably pacific northwest. that would take gasoline prices back to mid-august level. so, yes, gas prices would go up, but. >> they would only go. up to. >> the back to where they were in august. but the president promised lower prices, lower inflation. so any up is a bad up. >> do you think they got spooked this morning by the market reaction? that's why they made the dea

the ig of the usaid was investigating starlink work in ukraine. the igs went first, then elon musk decides to start at usaid. and now we're hearing about this tremendous reduction. and so the potential, though, for corruption, for, you know, sort of this doesn't smell right. and unfortunately, democrats went to not that i don't care about starving children, but again, we need to get smarter about looking at what are they trying to hide, what's really going on and what's the real impact going to be in america? >> so, brian, on the subject of elon musk, president trump was asked today specifically about what he has told elon musk he can do. he cannot do inside the federal government. take a listen. >> is there anything you've told elon musk he cannot. >> touch? >> well, we haven't discussed that much. i'll tell him to go here. go there. he does it. he's got a very capable group of people. very, very, very, very capable. they know what they're doing. they'll ask questions and they'll see immediately as somebody gets tongue tied that they're either cr

. >> spacex, whether it be starlink, whether it be x, whether it be xai. but he gets results.ou. >> know. >> again, i'm not a fan. okay. like this is not somebody that i would want to do business with or work for. but when he goes in there, i don't think he's going to be long for the world there. i think he wants to kind of leave an imprint on the government. >> and i think. >> it is. >> who does he get. >> results for? >> well, i mean, listen, i think it's going to be a combination of things at the end of the day, you know, on his conference call, tesla the other night, they just reported earnings, okay. and this stock has been. doubled since the report. >> i'm not that. no no no no no. >> their earnings. >> were. >> oh no it. >> was a disaster. this is. >> one. >> of the. >> worst quarters. all right moving on. >> no no no. >> no stay. >> there. >> stay there. >> so i guess my point is he made a really interesting comment on that call. he basically said to analyst investors, i go to where the problems are. so if things are working in any of these companies, he lets the peopl

because they were investigating some of the work he was doing in ukraine with starlink.o right there you have a billionaire who is unaccountable, who is basically taking charge of usaid. how do we know it's not for his own purposes? we don't know. and so i think that's one big problem. the second, i just also want to say, you know, you were starting to point this out, the american people are going to get harmed. i mean, farmers about $2 billion was spent with american farmers in the last year, supplying the food that goes through usaid. so where are they going to make up that revenue? that's american farmers. those are american businesses. i do think we need to not just focus on the what, but the why. what is the motivation and what is the real impact to the american people? >> a lot of questions understandably asked about elon musk's role in this given certainly not elected, not quite clear what the bounds of his duties are. he was certainly not senate confirmed. is he performing? does he have the legal leeway to do what he's doing in these various, including going into

breaches and hacking into those systems, but also monetizing it, using it for the benefit of tesla or starlinkt they give us an accounting and we're going to hold them accountable for how this information is used to the benefit of elon musk's company. this idea of a conflict of interest is very abstract. it sounds hypothetical, but elon musk has made money from all of his government contracts. tesla, billions of dollars spacex tens of billions of dollars. and so we want to know how this information is being used and stored and potentially to the advantage of those companies at the expense of the american taxpayers. >> will the investigation are the investigation? i mean, the public is getting increasingly vocal about this unelected unvetted non senate confirmed. not that that's a real process at this point. individual profiting enormously, as senator bernie sanders said, and gaining access to private information. if your investigation goes perfectly, what what power do you have to act on its findings in the minority? >> part of it is name and shame. the american people are angry, i hope, now,

the leader of ontario saying this morning that the province is canceling all contracts with starlink,d, she's running to replace justin trudeau as party leader, is talking about 100% tariffs on teslas. so the question is whether that sort of pressure, plus any reaction that we see from the markets today will be enough to get trump to change his mind. guys, for midnight tonight. guys. >> yeah i'm megan again. so much to keep track of you know including of course what we think the ask is. you know and i think many people are trying to understand is it really about border security and fentanyl and prohibiting that from getting into the country, or is it more about the numbers? do you have any sense in terms of the conversation and where there might be common ground? >> just a little bit of sense so far. when the white house was asked by reporters over the weekend what exactly the president would be looking for, they spoke very vaguely about this. they said there would be a wide range of metrics, and that included zero american deaths from fentanyl and only legal immigration. so not the k

said we will cancel the starlink contract and go after elon musk.his is just the first or second time we seen this. i think you could see more in the year ahead. lisa: we saw that already with tesla sales plumbing more than 60% in december, maybe in response to some of the back-and-forth between the government. the key issue is how long-lasting is this vs. get it all out of the way, come out with a bazooka of pretty radical suggestions and see what sticks. jonathan: here is the second punch, it comes from alphabet. 75 billion dollars in 2025 capex. the estimate was 57.9. cloud revenue sliding as well, taking some wind out of the stock. lisa: to me i look at these numbers and it was a disappointment. it wasn't that big a disappointment but it highlights that the expectations are very high for a lot of the big tech players and their ability to meet those expectations is getting lower because of capacity. the fact that they are still saying that is the way to go and that it was so much higher it will be so much higher than people expect highlight how t

we saw that from a canadian province in the last one for our study to cancel a starlink contract.n: there are definitely offsets. the gold at the end of the rainbow is autonomous. we think that is worth $1 trillion in terms of that to the tesla story. you get a federal framework and this is key in terms of the trump administration. that is the path for growth in terms of generational growth for tesla. musk is not going to ultimately peel back. he will continue to go in this direction. there are negatives, no doubt. for positives, it was a bet for the ages on trump and continues to be that. it will be a historical bet. jonathan: he wants to sell the rate the national champions of corporate america, and so he should. let's be clear about that. i'm asking whether countries begin to punish those national champions. we saw that from europe on tech. tesla is a rare one. dan: tesla and apple you put on a different purge. -- perch. with google, who cares? the only two tech companies, tesla and apple. that is why that is the tight rope. for musk, when it come down to tiktok, we think musk

there is no way elon musk -- he has access to starlink and everything else.o you know what he will go in there to do? number one. number two, they've got something on the web called dark maga, which refers to elon musk. it refers to everything -- they got a plan. everything they're going to do to destroy the united states like they destroyed gaza. there's too much going on and they keep getting us to focus on other issues. people need to wake up. they need to look at the website, go to google, go to youtube. there is something called dark maga. you can see everything they're planning on doing including i.t. host: ok. janice. let's hear from judith in missouri. independent line. caller: good morning, pedro. i am a 75-year-old woman and i voted in all parties, but i love to play with words and letters. so i have changed trump's lover man into lone skum. thank you. host: bethany next in north carolina, republican line. caller: good morning, pedro. i actually have three comments, so my first comment is that the previous guest that you had on, steve cohen, i would

as a result, ford said that he is ripping up the province's contract with starlink because, in his wordsl see. now for one of the biggest questions facing wall street this morning are president trump's new tariffs temporary or permanent? our senior economics reporter steve liesman is here. he's trying to take a look at that issue. what do you think, steve? >> we'll come. >> back to what kevin hassett. >> said, i think in just. >> a. >> second. >> clarified some thinking. >> along with a. >> brief i just. >> got from. >> the white house. >> but president. >> trump has linked. >> the new tariffs to progress. >> on. issues like fentanyl. immigration and trade. >> deficits, suggesting actions by. >> mexico. >> canada and. >> china could. >> undo them. >> but he's. >> made other. comments that. >> suggest there actually may be. no way to get. >> rid of them any time soon. he posted on. >> truth social this. >> weekend, make. >> your product in. >> the. >> usa and there are no tariffs. >> that suggests a different and. >> more permanent underpinning. >> for these moves. >> when campaigning in

also curious, because in 2022, his company, star link, received millions of dollars from usaid for starlink's operation in ukraine, not to mention the incredible amount of taxpayer subsidies that helped tesla become the major company that it is. and mr. musk, he's a billionaire as we know, he has no reluktance to take tack -- reluctance to take taxpayer funds from usaid, none. he took money from usaid. it was a good organization when the money was coming from it to him to help us in ukraine. but now he's calling it a criminal organization. and i doubt that he knows what 99% of usaid employees do, or the positive impact they have on the lives of people around the world and on u.s. national security, the obligation all of us have as members of the united states senate. i wonder if he's spoken to anyone who works at the over seas missions or seen with his own eyes what usaid does in countries like indonesia, ethiopia, haiti, mozambique, just to name a few where the lives of countless people really do benefit. from usaid. and being billionaires, president trump and eli musk -- elon musk may not b
