00:00Have you spoken to your son? I mean, how is he under the circumstances, Mr. Musk?

00:14I'm the old man. So, you know, what do I know sort of thing? But I try to give good advice.

00:21I think it's very good for Elon's businesses to be, particularly Tesla, for example, to be

00:28a distance from politics. So in that respect, I think it's a good thing that, you know, he's

00:36thrown, you know, out of the internal arena of Trump's administration and that he now has

00:44to get back to running businesses, which is what he's meant to do. At the same time, you

00:50know, talking about starting a new party and all that kind of stuff, I've been watching
