“the greatest technology founders to ever live. His name is Elon Musk. Quite honestly, there is nobody like him. Few Americans in history have done more to advance America's national interest than Elon in one field after another. His genius and determination have made science fiction into reality. And that is so true. Elon founded SpaceX with his life savings in 2002 and created the first privately developed liquidfueled rocket to reach orbit in the face of vanishingly impossible odds. >> Musk's honor coming after some turbulence between him and the president. The two having a very public falling out last year after Musk left his ro”

“ake anything, who just leech off the government their entire lives. We have AOC and Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren and Omar and Ayanna Pressley. On the other side, we have the greatest entrepreneur, the greatest inventor, the greatest maker, the greatest creator of jobs, of innovation in Elon Musk. And last night, you will never see a better example of the difference between the two sides. Elon Musk is just an historic figure. I mean, you can pick any of his companies, any of his innovations. You tell me SpaceX, reusable rockets, Tesla, electric cars, Neuralink, helping”

“because it has these jets from SpaceX that is pushing it towards the wall and then it comes up to the top and it runs out of road and it looks like it's free falling and spinning down and the jets are actually controlling it to level it out and then land the car. It's unbelievable. Can I tell you I just I I just love Elon Musk. I love I I think he is the most amazing man alive today. He is Nikolai Tesla. You know, I I tweeted something when the president gave him the science award recently and he said he's uh Thomas Edison. He's not Thomas Edison. He's Nikolai Tesla. And there's a huge difference between the two. I got to write a b”

“380] [SPEAKER_08] Well, he can't go anywhere. Trump officials can't go anywhere without being heckled these days, which I find fascinating. And that wasn't the only heckling moment. There were multiple moments where they were heckled. So I think that's interesting. I think the second thing is, is that Pete Hegseth and Elon Musk are war criminals. For Elon Musk for blocking the Starlink, Pete Hegseth for bombing an all-girls school in Iran. I mean, the proof is in the pudding.

I think Elon Musk and the president are traitors to the West. And for Musk to just hide behind it and say, well, I have no control over this.
