Part 5/15:
Musk revealed a reduced U.S. Air Force contract, saving taxpayers approximately 800 million dollars—a move aligned with his ongoing push to lower government waste. He expressed confidence that Tesla’s Optimus robot demand will be insatiable, predicting it will surpass all previous product markets combined.
On the political front, Musk commented on the importance of legislation. He critiqued Congress for not formalizing efforts to combat corruption, waste, and fraud, warning that reliance on executive actions leaves initiatives vulnerable to reversal with a change in administration. His frustration is compounded by the perceived stall tactics in Congress, including members like Thomas Massie, whom Musk accused of hindering progress on this front.
