. >> he stood there with sam altman of openai and oracle's larry ellison. the real drama, though, is between elon musk and those folks who were with the president this week. politico put it this way it's according to a republican source, it's clear that musk has abused the proximity of the president. the problem is the president doesn't have any leverage over him. and elon gives zero f's. yes he does. he is crapping all over this deal. and mostly because he doesn't like sam altman. >> that is correct. i'm sorry to tell you, but silicon valley is a nursery school with very badly behaved children, you know, and sam was giving it back to him and doing it on purpose because, you know, at the very look, whatever you think about the salute that elon did, and i can show you other versions of my heart goes out to you that he did only a year ago, which were very different. you can interpret any you want, but what he is at the base is a troll, and he's trying to troll you and get a reaction. he does it with whatever topic he decides to pick. he'll do it. and in this
