what's in it for musk? i don't know right like he gets he gets to i mean, like trying to figure out side deals. let me just say i don't think he wants to be ambassador to paris, right? that's probably not decide deal he wants, but donors to get confirm. yeah donors always have asks like that. like part of it's part of the american political system that donors have asked and we rarely find out what they are but he clearly, as you said, wants to be front and center and he seems to be enjoying himself. >> well, he did also. >> donald trump has already said, and he has agreed to run that government officials, gray up program that donald trump said he will put musk in his cabinet all these things, a couple of things though about this relationship because i'm fascinated by donald trump's session with elon musk, which it is like he talks in private about elon musk all the time. and i can tell you that donald trump also thinks that having someone like elon musk, who started space acts who now runs x, formerly twitt

because elon musk takes free speech seriously. elon musk is doing things for humanity. elon musk when there was a problem in north carolina, he is the one who hooked up starlings. it was donald trump who got him to do that. elon musk is getting us to mars. when elon musk is compared to mark cuban, i don't think there is a comparison at all. elon musk said i consider being sec. i get the transactional part of it. but for me, it is what have they done? musk believes in secure borders and free speech. he believes in the values that are found only in america. i get the sense that cuban is a guy that is just jealous and figures i am a rich guy. >> isn't it amazing that musk was a hero on the left standing up for free speech. >> his first job as a bartender and dallas. it was a software company founded in the '80s. >> he is an impressive guy. >> "the fastest" his neck with his message for trump. liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i saved hundreds. with the money i saved i thought i'd get a wax figure of myself. cool right? look at this craftmanship. i mean they eve

he's musk ended up buying the platform. but yeah, you can really see that and musters the sing all the time. you mentioned just before we came on air, meredith, where something would be totally ridiculous and moscow just respond to it, say, interesting and immediately that gets posted, that gets elevated to potentially 200 million of his followers every single day. it's happening meredith, that musk has obviously a lot of business interests that rely on us government contracts connections. if i mean, he's putting a lot of stock that trump's gonna get reelected. it would obviously benefit him hugely yeah. >> i mean, when you hear musk talk about the stakes that are at play in this election. he talks about how the fate of the, the western hemisphere is at risk depending on whether or not trump wins. but he has a lot financially at stake too. you think about all the government contracts that spacex has all of his different entities. how intertwined they are with our own government and a lot of the the search or space explorati

i mean, i think one difference between elon musk and mark cuban is elon musk has a huge audience of people who, especially with young men, which is an audience that both campaigns are really going after, who absolutely worship this guy cuban obviously, it's on shark tank, big name on his don't but i was struck at the at the mosque event today. if you closed your eyes, you might forget that he's not the guy running for president really, there was the production value was big american flag, as you saw on the screen there. he comes out to a song that often plays at donald trump rallies you forget that not only is he lw president he's not born in the u.s. but like he is the main character of his own events. >> so i mean what's in it for him? he's you're right about that. he is almost obsessive and almost manic about getting trump to win yeah. >> why? >> you know, elon thinks that this could be the quote, unquote last free election in the united states. >> that sounds hyperbolic, but and elam's view of the world which is not really hard to get a glimpse into. you can just look at his twitter fe

elon musk is donating tons of money.lot of reporting about what elon musk is saying behind the scenes, and what he saying behind the scenes is what is tweeting in reply to eggheads on twitter. he clearly believes that, you know, american democracy is at risk of falling due to undocumented immigrants, and he believes that crime is out of control. i think what we see is what we get here. >> thank you so much for your time tonight. >> sure thing. >> that is all in

musk to the head of a government efficiency commission.n would have the responsibility to recommend big cuts. why does that matter for elon? now the people died overseeing him, the agencies that do, he will flip the relationship and now he oversees then and he can decide how much of budget will be. you are in a situation where the people that are supposed to keep tabs on elon musk and his companies, he will have a position of power over them. how will he use that power? and even if he doesn't use it explicitly, how will it scare the regulators? geoff: u.n. your colleagues reported that two of his companies -- you and your colleagues report that two of his companies --. how did the federal government become so dependent on elon musk's companies over the years? >> most of that is the story about spacex. it is good at what it does. it shoots rockets into the air more often, more safely and effectively than any of its rivals. spacex through its own sheer skill has managed to take over the space launch business. that means that for nasa, spacex

elon musk seems to be t in: law. elon musk seems to be trying to _ law. seems to be trying to play in _ law. elon musk seems to be trying to play in the - law. elon musk seems to be trying to play in the grey - law. elon musk seems to be i trying to play in the grey when it comes to the details of this law. you could argue that who ever that one person is who receives the million dollars has received payment. that's exactly right. _ has received payment. that's exactly right, it's _ has received payment. that's exactly right, it's a _ has received payment. that's exactly right, it's a way - has received payment. that's exactly right, it's a way of. exactly right, it's a way of getting around the technicalities of the law, because i think what mr musk�*s committee is saying we are actually not paying directly someone to go and register to vote, could go to someone who has already registered to vote and that's true, what this reflects is he has got a lot of money, and he is very motivated to try to help donald trump. if they end up throwing away some of thi

but what does musk get for this? a lot, he has a lot of potential conflicts in his area of ​​interest, because elon musk runs several companies that are under close government scrutiny. conspiracy theories, fakes, how important is musk's support for trump? well, musk's rhetoric and the ideas he voiced are very similar to what donald trump himself and his allies said, and this can be tracked throughout the presidential race. elon musk's enthusiasm was hard to miss, he literally jumped out of the scene. trump, i'm trying to watch the rally, my cat, who wants to eat, breaking news right now coming from the foreign intelligence service. russia: american intelligence agencies have been transmitting information to kiev from the very beginning of the conflict to strike at russian civilian infrastructure, naryshkin said, also important. us reconnaissance satellites since march 2024 have significantly stepped up high-detail filming in the territory russian federation, on the territory bordering ukraine. according to naryshkin

i don't understand her concept with elon musk. host: cat,\ i know that you addressed this with another caller, but any response for that caller? guest: what is distinct is that elon musk that we have been discussing throughout this interview is that he owns a social media company. that is a unique dynamic this election cycle that we haven't seen before. where the owner of one of the major social networks is campaigning on behalf of one of the presidential candidates. host: portland, oregon on the line for democrats. good morning. caller: i realize ai does have a place and will be important for solving problems medically maybe even worldwide, but i think that we need responsible guards of that. what terrifies me the most is donald trump is going to be elected, and then he is going to lose his mind within ofu -- within four years. there is no way that that brain is going to last for four more years making any sense out of anything. i think he is so dangerous. i think elon musk is waiting in the wings, because he knows that he can ma

elon musk has not issued a public statement on the reporting.im voters in michigan are seeing. >> vice president kamala harris has chosen a side. the right side. harris has made herself clear she stands with israel in the jewish people. >> here is what jewish voters in pennsylvania are seeing. >> why is she running ads pandering to palestine? we must stand up to anti- semitism. we must say no more. >> it is a dark and cynical strategy hurting people's most basic impulses, and in the sentence doesn't that make elon musk the perfect for soldier for a presidential candidate like donald trump who came into power by appealing to our lower syllabus? my panel is back with me. jennifer, i will start with you with this one million-dollar giveaway elon musk is doing for swing state voters who signed this pact. you have governor shapiro suggesting that law enforcement should actually take a look into it. what do you think this is all about? is it even legal do you think? >> it is a real question whether it is legal or not. we do have generous campaign- fin

>>> elon musk's obsession with getting trump re-elected. in my conversation with the lebanese ambassador to the uk as israel escalates trikes on this country. let's do it. remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? is the grief able goes, a greek shepherd grows bored as he watches over the village sheep on a hillside. he repeatedly raises the alarm about a wolf encroaching on the herd, even when there is no such threat. so when a wolf then does come, nobody actually believes the boy. it's not just a fable -- it's actually the story of our former president. donald trump's political career is paved by decades of crying wolf and telling lies. and now, with 22 days until the election, his campaign is probably leading into that identity, which is, of course, a huge problem. because we know some voters don't believe trump when he talks about his extreme policies. we hear it all the time from trump supporters. he is just saying that. he won't actually do it. he doesn't mean it. the republicans closing message in the home stretch of the 2024 cam

musk's companies are the very best at getting there. >> even know there are those view elon musk as anmatic or problem matic partner, there's not a way to roll that back as yet. >> that's right. even know elon musk says if kamala harris is elected, i'm going to jail, going to lose my contract. that's not going to happen. as we've seen from boeing's attempts to rescue its own astronauts from outer space, there's no one else they could even give nose contracts. there's nothing harris could do because the government is so dependent on his companies. >> there's lots of attention on the legality of these swing state voters who sign his petition. what questions does it raise for you as you report on elon musk and these perceived conflicts of interest? >> whether this is effectively buying a vote. is he paying you to vote for trump or paying you at all if he knows you're a stuarter of trump? legally he's signing you to sign a petition. that probably as far as it goes is legal but if it comes a way to paying to vote you for trump that becomes illegal. however, the enforcement mechanisms for u.

merciless chaos. >>> his name is elon musk. he saved free speech. he created so many different great things. i want to thank a man named elon musk because he did a good thing. so i called up elon and he endorsed me. he gave me the greatest endorsement. no, yo nosh no, i have a great respect for elon. i'm a big fan of elon who endorsed us. you know that. elon's great. >> all that fanning out is just from the past two weeks. in the closing days of this election donald trump has gone out of his way in almost embarrassing fashion to heap praise on tech billionaire elon musk. today trump prattled on about elon musk for so long fox news had to cut him off to go to a commercial break. >> elon did a great service. you know what i like about him, he endorsed me. he gave me the biggest -- you know what you said harris -- he's a respected guy. when you can see a guy take that rocket yesterday and have that sucker come back out of space and it's all burned up. why do you do that? because i don't want to build another one. >> we've got to go. we'll be right back

do you have con fidence that eln musk will meet all expectations?there is always a question mark. as a tesla investor, he promised the robotaxis would be out in a year in 2017. here we are in 2024. i do get excited about the unveiling. the tesla vans would be good for the 6-foot plus fellows like ourselves. it is an inflection point. they have the full self driving delayed. if they have some form or fashion of a promise within a year or if they have the lower priced tesla, i think it could be game changing for the stock. it is a very emotional stock and a political stock. i try to remove the politics from the stock which is next to impossible, but this is the best and most pure artificial intelligence play. that's why i own tesla and that's why the stock, 40% off the all-time high, has the ability to move higher, frank. >> i believe it is still negative for the year. moving higher in the pre-market. jeff, you said the key word. van. we cannot fit in a model 3. o oracle and tesla. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> tomorrow, we close out the best

let me break down the musk move.hat in the clip you showed, like a lot of men in silicon valley, this is a personally limited man. if he were in a room with you, he would be probably the least comfortable person in that room, just not particularly equipped at understanding people, when he makes comments about society, they just sound very high school, child, speculating about the world without having lived in it even though he's middle aged. he's also someone who lost a relationship with his daughter because he was so attached to his own ideas and his own ideology that he couldn't let her be who she became. very few parents love some idea more than their own child, but this is the kind of limited man we're talking about. he's someone who is very disoriented by progress in the future. that's the billionaire. what they then do because there's a very small number of them in a democracy, it would be a problem, that they then need to get a bunch of human shields to associate their interests, their regular lunch bucket uni

and it's not just musk himself. one of america packs tactics to engage voters is drawing scrutiny as well. >> the group offering to pay off organizers $47 to sign a petition for friday's pennsylvania event. >> the pack offering $100 for signing a petition. >> i love elon musk and when we heard he was coming just a couple of days ago, we jumped right on it. >> i really want to understand how elon musk is going to help get the federal government's spending under control ahead of his friday evening event in montgomery county, trump supporters and musk super fans were thrilled to see the billionaire. and we're not turned off by conspiracies. >> sometimes ilana and rfk get criticized for going down the conspiracy theory line of thinking. >> does that impact you at all you tell me which conspiracy was not correct. >> and i lay it last three or four years, have conspiracies. they all proved to be accurate. >> what about elon is so appealing to you and your family e line is willing to stand up for the country. >> he's willi

you and musk. so, sandra, this was supposed to be a trick question, but you're probably going to blow the curve and, like, get it right. what you got, everybody knows why. elon. what? elon musk is built for the world. everybody knows why he's a billionaire. what is mark cuban done other than own the dallas mavericks? i was just going to say that's a common understanding of his business today. shark tank made him very famous as well. i think he had a bunch of early investments that made him a billionaire. and then he started throwing it around in sort of the popular pop culture markets, to answer your question. yeah. but i think that, i mean that to me, that is the big difference between the two. everybody associates tesla and x with everybody knows that elon musk is this, this transformative figure. and mark cuban, who knows what he does. i'm not going to judge him on their business acumen. i mean, they're both smart guys. they take a stand. sandra this is the five. they're both accomplished there.

let me play for you what he said about that relationship with musk.o he will be in that cabinet? >> he just wants to be in charge of cost cutting, okay. he wants to do that. >> the secretary of cost cutting because he's done such a great job with x. >> i mean, there is a fantasy that we saw in 2016 that a businessman can come in and fix that government and trim the waste. and you know. >> unless you're announcing the live stream like he did with elon musk and that. >> exactly. >> so i think he has streamlined some things. again, he's not famous for paying workers. and he's been dicey with the unions, which by the way have not endorsed harris, which is in sane if you think about what they have planned for unions. and yeah, you know, i think that trump is transactional with everything, which is why they like them. >> and it would have made sense if they will make it run nasa administrator and that it is actually a maybe, he knows what he's talking about. being the secretary of cost cutting. >> i don't know about you, but i've been around for a while. an

they said elon musk is not wrong. they repeated misinformation musk endorsed on x.ften it is not musk himself saying things. he will float tweet or put a mode responses to something but with him, having 200 million strong followers, he's the top influencer on the platform he owns and has a lot of influence over the algorithm. often his posts do not get fact checked by the system x uses to fact check. caroline: go read the full piece, extraordinary. thank you. microsoft cofounder bill gates has his eyes on the approaching election. he spoke with john micklethwait about the role of innovation in addressing the world's challenges. this was an sao paulo, yesterday. he also weighed in on trump's proposed tariffs. >> we will suffer overall. welfare will improve less. if u.s. puts tariffs on, other people will as well. the economic dynamism, speed of innovation will be significantly slower. >> it's easy to make the argument this means higher prices for consumers. this issue of dynamism, you have been entered -- you have been involved in entrepreneurism most of your life. t

this is a embarrassing spectacle for elon musk. certainly seeing him jumping up and down the way he was. he has given up any pretense of political neutrality. as a person and certainly as a platform. >> one of the clips he played, was one of the times trump said something truthful, when he referred to musk as abs artist. the genesis in those clips, much of the way musk talked about his role is the way we heard fox news talk about itself, that it was fair and balanced. it was not designed to be fair and balanced, it was expected to be a counterbalance to the rest of media. that is what he did with x. what he means is x being a counterbalance and you see that playing out time and time again. musk actually jumps for joy for a lot of things, he does not get much height but i am okay with that. it is goofy but what is more disturbing is what he represents and stands for and who he is given his resources and he is jumping for joy for what trump stands for and that is what i find scary. people make fun of him a little bit but ultimately t

by elon musk.itical operative involved with the pack said maybe elon musk can give his canvassers a star link. which is a joke about mosques satellite-based mobile internet router, but actually, might not be a bad idea. joining me now is ben winkler, chair of the democratic party of wisconsin. ben, thank you for being here. i said we need someone that really understands how you build a robust field operation, and what it means to have paid canvassers and apps that don't work. i want to read the, that person is you. i want to review this quote from the washington post. some of his early advisers on the sewer pac warned elon musk he was trying to move too fast for such an ambitious political project, cautioning that it would require months more to properly hire and train the necessary staff. musk declined to dilute his ambitions, appearing to believe that if we just run out there with the boards and tell people what the steak, they will be convinced. what alarms you most about the details we're learn

he brought up elon musk. i find that interesting and all the conversations i have with people who have worked with him on both sides of the aisle, political leaders. there is a real hesitancy to just saying nasty things about elon musk because they have worked with him because of his genius and his success and the many government contractor, i mean the government pays him a lot of money for you starlink and all sorts of other things, you know, so i mean, obviously, what she's done a lot he's shading. saving stranded americans in space. yes the united states is like we have people stranded at spain's. i think the people who work for him saving people in space, but yes. all right oh, he's the vice president. >> let's listen to her speak live here at this rally and gu back five 3-years-old, we lived in wisconsin short time here and now, every time i land governor evers who beat me and he'll say, welcome home. with everyone and thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to be here this evening. thank yo

elon musk is not there. we'll keep in touch with you, bryan, to find out what happens today. >> bill: the vice president kamala harris trying to distance herself from biden's garbage gaffe the other night making her final pitch to voters in the sun belt in the american southwest. that comment sending the white house into damage control with only five days left on the calendar. live to lucas tomlinson cleaning up the garbage on the north lawn of the white house. good morning. >> with less than a week to go before election day who would have thought we would be talking about garbage and apostrophes. this all began with president biden speaking on a zoom call to latino supporters on tuesday night. >> president biden: puerto rico and my home state of delaware they're good, decent, honorable people. the only garbage i see floating out there is his supporters. his demonization is unconscionable. >> biden did not attend harris's speech at the ellipse a few hundred yards away from the white house but on the zoom cal

any freeman is outfront from that musk event in philadelphia right now? >> we didn't go to the moon is the only reason we can now send american astronauts into space in the final weeks of the presidential campaign, hey, go very loud. >> yes billionaire tech giant elon musk has emerged as an eager surrogate for former president donald trump. >> it was very clear to me that donald trump has to be, it has to win this election this week, kicking off a series of town halls. he plans to pulled across battleground, pennsylvania. >> i can't emphasize enough that pennsylvania is i think the linchpin in this election and this selection, i think is going to decide the fate state of america, the events are coordinated by the spacex, tesla and x owners america pac, the super pac has now pumped more than $100 million in pro-trump spending according to new fec filings, that includes at least $75 million from musk himself i haven't been politically active before. >> i'm politically active now because i think the future of america and future of civilization is at stake. >

elon musk once supported ukraine. he provided star link terminals so ukrainians could get on the internet after the russian invasion. according to the journal, musk's loyalties changed right around the time he started communicating with the kremlin. what does that tell you? >> to remind you, about one year ago we had reporting that he made a decision not to allow star link to be used to help ukrainians attack the russian navy. so, what you have and again this is all reporting. i don't know this firsthand. if the reporting is accurate, you have an independent, very rich actor making national security decisions. we don't want that. we don't want to privatize american foreign-policy. that is a grave mistake and i think people have to rethink whether this is such a good relationship. to your point, of course he is gambling on mr. trump winning and therefore, it will be okay. i hope that doesn't happen and i hope when it doesn't happen that we rethink this relationship between our national security and the public sector an

, even though musk is a u.s.ce is putin and not musk so there could be transcripts or copies of texts or what have you that have been collected by u.s. intelligence we don't know what their capabilities are in terms of surveilling putin. that's one thing that would be on elon musk's mind as he reads this story this morning, guys. back over to you >> yeah, well, and you would assume perhaps that the journal is relying on sources who have actually firsthand knowledge, to your point, perhaps from intelligence and eavesdropping and things of that nature. >> what we don't know is whether musk has disclosed this. it could be the case that musk disclosed this appropriately to u.s. intelligence and someone leaked that. we just don't know. >> right of course, it all goes back as well to just his importance as one of the largest contractors to the u.s. government, to his importance in war zones, of course, ukraine most prominently in terms of starlink and how vital that has been to the ukrainian effort originally, of cours

musk, i think there's no stopping elon musk he will do as he sees fit. >> the journal report, also raisingrms because of russia's alleged attempts to meddle in america's elections because of donald trump's open admiration of putin putin, and all group kim jong un the tough guys out there that tough and they're smart and they street wives and that they're the top of their game and concerns that the russian leader has tried to manipulate trump. what does elon musk really doing? does he have the best interests of the united states? in, his mind or is he serving as a conduit for vladimir putin to donald trump in a way that doesn't have to be so public separately, journalist bob woodward has reported that trump has spoken with putin several times since leaving the white house, which trump has denied. this report comes as elon musk has emerged as one of the most influential players in this election. >> and i love elon by the way, in recent weeks, musk has repeatedly stumped for donald trump in battleground states and has donated nearly $120 million to help trump get elected. we've never seen a m

, even though musk is a u.s.son as long as the intended target of the surveillance in the first place was vladamir putin then they can gather that information. they have to refer to him in any internal reporting as u.s. person one and ceo of u.s. company one, two, and three. but they would be able to gather the contents of that conversation if they have the capacity to intercept it >> doesn't seem like a high bar, i guess. but this comes after the report from bob woodward that former president trump had also been in contact with vladamir putin. putin seems to be trying to swat down both of these reports, as i suppose we expect he would >> reporter: yeah, you would expect this from the kremlin and what we're seeing today. look, the question is, what was elon musk's intent in having these conversations with vladamir putin what did he think he was accomplishing here was this for the good of the nation was this for the good of his company or personal good was it for a political agenda? we just have no idea because we

musk idiosyncratic, eccentric even.nversations with lots of people about space and technology. one of them happens to be president putin. >> that is true. elon musk has a lot of dealings with world leaders, he flies around frequently. he has shown an interest in leaders -- some right wing and authoritarian leaders like vladimir putin. on some level, it could be a natural thing for him to speak. but it definitely is something that could raise some concerns within the national security establishment given his role at spacex which operates starli nk, an important internet access or both ukraine in its fight against russia, also for the u.s. military, people around the world. >> tnk you so much for your time today. >> thank you for having me. >> stay with us because we are continuing our conversations with contacts and those all important swing states in the u.s. election. michigan and nevada. stay with us here on bbc news for "the context." announcer: funding for presentation of this program is provided by... financial ser

none of that is happening in the elon musk america pac operation.ld operation will not turn a close race into a landslide but give you that extra half a point. that's where having glitch after glitch within untested operation is getting into a tesla the supposed to drive itself and slams into the wall. this is not what you want the new presidential campaign. >> talk to me about -- i'm interested and delivered the point in terms of the margins. this could be the difference maker. this could be the difference in the white house with donald trump or kamala harris. these volunteers hired by elon musk and are still being hired less than three weeks to go, what does it tell you about the quality of the argument they will be making two those low voters who are the target of the trump campaign in terms of winning the race. >> it's not just the number of doors do not but the quality of conversation you have. your ability to engage, listen and speak to the issues people care about. if folks who are watching who feel strongly about this, you can get involved.

elon musk is spectacle, right? everything he does is breath lassly covered.obviously has an enormous amount of power. and elon took his media profile and got people like me to cover it and the point is to take media attention and put it on pennsylvania, a state elon musk thinks is essential for saving democracy across the globe. >> first of all, how was he on the stump? he's not a political animal. this was his first big solo event. was he convincing, was he comfortable? what was it like? >> he's not a great public speaker. what i will admit the production value and optics of the whole thing, if you close your eyes you might think this guy was running for president of the united states. he walked out to "only in america" a song that's been at ted cruz rallies or a trump rallies for a long time. there was a moment he invited a cute kid on stage and signed his hats. he was clearly entertained, almost smitten by kind of this delaware county local republican audience. yeah, you would think that this person is the candidate. and, look, he's not known for having a

zander mundy went to elon musk�*s event at a school in folsom.ft the event now considering donald trump. someone like that tells you this is the election that's going to decide our future, this is going to decide not only who's president for the next four years, but what our world is going to be like, what the western world is going to be like. and i think that's pretty huge, you know, that matters. are you at all sceptical, though, about elon musk�*s motivations? yeah, i'm absolutely sceptical. i think everyone should be at least a little sceptical about everyone. he is a multi—billionaire. he is a part of this like upper i% echelon of people. and, again, i don't agree with all of his views, but, at the same time, a lot of what he was saying did seem like it came from a place of care. if donald trump wins, elon musk will have his ear and potentially a strong influence on decision—making in the administration. in town halls here in pennsylvania, musk said he will lead a department of government efficiency, while targeting government regulation co
