00:00You sued Twitter a number of years ago.

00:01You just made him pay you $10 million?

00:03That's right, that's right.

00:04That's right.

00:05Well, I sued from long before he had it.

00:08Yeah, yeah.

00:09And, I mean, they really did a number on me, you know.

00:12And I sued, and they had to pay.

00:14They paid a $10 million settlement.

00:17You're OK with that?

00:18I mean, I left it up to the lawyers

00:20and, you know, the team running Twitter.

00:22So I said, you guys do what you think is the right.

00:25It makes sense.

00:26I think it's fine.

00:27I think it's a very low.

00:29I was looking to get much more money than that.

00:31So you gave him a discount on the lawsuit?

00:33Oh, he got a big discount.

00:35I love the president.

00:36You love the president.

00:37I think President Trump is a good man.

00:39And he's, you know.

00:41That's nice the way he said that, you know.

00:43That's something nice about him.

00:45It really is.

00:46It is.

00:47Because, I mean, the president's been so unfairly attacked

00:51in the media.

00:52It's truly outrageous.

00:54And I've, at this point, spent a lot of time with the president.

00:58And not once have I seen him do something that was mean

01:02or cruel or wrong.

01:04Not once.

01:06You know, I've known him for 30 years.

01:08Yeah.

01:09And I've never seen anybody take as much as he's taken.

01:13Yeah.

01:14The New York Times, Washington Post, three networks,

01:16every late night comedy show, two cable channels.

01:19They just drew everything.

01:21Lawfare, weaponization.

01:23Sure.

01:24And now I see they want you two to start.

01:28They want a divorce.

01:29They want you two to start hating each other.

01:32And they try.

01:33Oh, President Elon Musk, for example.

01:35You do know that they're doing that to you.

01:37Oh, I see it all the time.

01:39They tried it.

01:40Then they stopped.

01:41That wasn't.

01:42They have many different things of hatred.

01:44Actually, Elon called me.

01:46He said, you know, they're trying to drive us apart.

01:48I said, absolutely.

01:49It's just so obvious.

01:50They're so bad at it.

01:51I used to think they were good at it.

01:53They're actually bad at it.

01:54Because if they were good at it, I'd never be president.

01:56No, he's going to go to Mars.

01:58Starlink?

01:59At some point.

02:00He's in.

02:01They always ask me, like, do you want to die on Mars?

02:03And I say, well, yes, but not on impact.

02:05Starlink is in 100 countries.

02:08This is going to be hard.

02:09I feel like I'm interviewing two brothers here.

02:12You go ahead.

02:13Yes, they were left up there for political reasons,

02:15which is not good.

02:16OK, it's not good.

02:18I don't want to be complacent, but we have brought astronauts

02:20back from the space station many times before,

02:22and always with success.

02:24So as long as we're not complacent,

02:27we're being extremely cautious.

02:29You now have the go-ahead.

02:30Yes, well, thanks to you.

02:31They didn't have the go-ahead with Biden.

02:33He was going to leave them in space.

02:35I think he was going to leave them in space.

02:37I used to be adored by the left.

02:38Not anymore.

02:39Less so these days.

02:40He killed that, huh?

02:41I mean, less so.

02:42I really didn't remember.

02:44I mean, this whole sort of, like, you know,

02:46they call it, like, Trump derangement syndrome.

02:49And you don't realize how real this is until, like,

02:52you can't reason with people.

02:54So, like, I was at a friend's birthday party in LA,

02:57just a birthday dinner.

02:58And it was, like, a nice, quiet dinner,

03:00and everyone was behaving normally.

03:02And I happened to mention, this was before the election,

03:04like a month or two before,

03:05I happened to mention the president's name.

03:07And it was like they got shot with a dart in the jugular

03:09that contained, like, methamphetamine and rabies.
