Former Ukrainian Minister of Defence Fedorov:

When the first Shahed with Starlink flew over Kyiv, we understood that if we don't shut down Starlink for the Russians, operator-guided Shaheds that can't be jammed will change flight trajectories and destroy all our air defense, Patriots, F-16s, everything.

There was a 1% chance of pulling this off. But Elon said: "Let's just talk by video."

It was our first video call. He said: "Okay, I'll do it."

Former U.S Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney:

The amount of money a few people are getting concerns me.

The idea that Elon Musk is going to be a trillion aire, what does that mean?

We're talking about a thousand billions.

He could drop a couple of billion dollars into a political campaign to support someone who would give him even more power.

And he's not the only one.

There are others who are going to become worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and they will influence our political system.

U.S. President Donald Trump:

"The Technology the World relies on was invented in America. We all remember “Intel Inside.” Stupid Presidents took our Economy for granted, and let Taiwan and others steal our Semiconductor Factories. They forgot to protect our Industries with TARIFFS. When I won my Second Term (Third, actually!), it was clear America needed its Semiconductor Industry to come back to the U.S.A. We design everything, but we need to BUILD it here, NOW! So I decided to help Intel because we need to design and build our Chips right here in America. First, we helped bring in Nvidia, and they agreed to build their first level Chips with Intel. Next, Elon agreed to build his TerraFab, the largest Chip Factory in the World, designed together with Intel’s Technology team. And, finally, Apple has agreed to work with Intel to design and build its Chips in America. We decided to help Intel in exchange for 10% of their shares. Is that too much or, too little? They were worth around 100 Billion Dollars when we made our offer. Now they are worth over 600 BILLION DOLLARS! Nine months, and they’ve increased in value over HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. America’s stake is now over 60 Billion Dollars. When was the last time a President made America money?? Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP".

ATTKISSON: What happened to the audit of Fort Knox?

TRUMP: Which one are you talking about?

ATTKISSON: You and Elon Musk talked about auditing the gold

TRUMP: We wanted to go knock on the door and see whether or not we have any gold in there. We played with that. I wonder if they left the gold in Fort Knox, because they steal a lot. I do want to go to Fort Knox sometime
