and Jameson will be going and meeting with their top people well look you know I've always liked
00:06
Elon and it's always very surprised you saw the words he had for me the words and he hasn't said
00:11
anything about me that's bad I'd rather have him criticize me than the bill because the bill
00:16
is incredible and you know Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate and you know which was a
00:23
lot of money for electric vehicles and you know they're having a hard time the electric vehicles
00:29
and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy and you know I Elon knew this from the
00:37
beginning he knew it for a long time ago that's been in there that's been I would say JD that
00:42
hasn't changed that's been right from the beginning Mr. I think Mr. Secretary that hasn't changed at
00:47
all right from the beginning but I know that disturbed him look Elon and I had a great
00:54
relationship I don't know if we're well anymore I was surprised because you were here everybody in
01:00
this room practically was here as we had a wonderful send-off he said wonderful things about me you
01:05
couldn't have nicer said the best things he's worn the hat Trump was right about everything and I am
01:11
right about the great big beautiful bill we call it a great big beautiful bill because that's what it is
01:17
uh but I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost
01:24
anybody sitting here better than you people he knew everything about it he had no problem with it all
01:29
of a sudden he had a problem and he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to
01:33
have to cut the EV mandate because that's billions and billions of dollars and it really is unfair we want
01:39
to have cars of all types electric we want to have electric but we want to have gasoline combustion we want to have
01:47
different we want to have hybrids we want to have all we want to be able to sell everything
01:51
and when that was cut and congress wanted to cut it uh he became a little bit different and I can
01:58
understand that but he knew every aspect of this bill he knew it better than almost anybody and he never
02:05
had a problem until right after he left and if you saw the statements he made about me which I'm sure you
02:10
can get very easily it's very fresh on tape uh he said the most beautiful things about me and he hasn't
02:16
said bad about me personally but I'm sure that'll be next but I'm I'm very disappointed in Elon I've
02:22
helped Elon a lot I just want to clarify did he raise any of these concerns with you privately before
02:29
he raised them publicly and this is the guy you put in charge of cutting spending should people not
02:34
take him seriously about spending now are you saying this is all sour grapes no he worked hard and he did
02:38
a good job and I'll be honest I think he misses the place I think he got out there and all of a sudden
02:44
he wasn't in this beautiful oval office and he was and he's got nice offices too but there's
02:49
something about this when I was telling the chancellor this is where it is people come in here
02:53
even from Germany they come in and they they walk into the oval office and it's just a special place
03:00
it's you know world war one it started and it ended here and world war two and uh so many other things
03:07
everything big comes right from this this beautiful space it's now much more beautiful than it was six
03:13
months ago uh a lot of good things are happening in this room and I'll I'll tell you it's not he's
03:19
not the first people leave my administration and they love us and then at some point they miss it so
03:29
badly and some of them embrace it and some of them actually become hostile I don't know what it is it's
03:36
sort of Trump derangement syndrome I guess they call it but I we have it with others too they leave
03:41
and they wake up in the morning and the glamour's gone the whole world is different and they become
03:48
hostile I don't know what it is someday you'll write a book about it and you'll let us know yeah
