@chamath Can’t wait for more flagrant boot licking.

Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

@chamath Take a bow @chamath This is a masterclass. Should be required viewing by all Americans. Especially younger folks.

@chamath Way better on 𝕏 than on YouTube!!

@chamath Chamath meanwhile..

@chamath So when is Stacey Abrams goin' to jail... This is insane!

@chamath I think he is misrepresenting a lot of what trade imbalances mean. I’m not sure is he’s doing this on purpose or if he’s just over simplifying things to reach the audience.

@chamath Lmaooooo

1:03:00 -- One of the guys brought up concerns about Elon’s potential conflict of interest with DOGE, suggesting that Elon might be using DOGE to benefit his companies. It's a valid concern, but my man didn't do his homework. While Chamath did a great job explaining why that’s not the case and highlighted Tesla’s positive impact on the US through its technological advancements, he didn’t mention the crucial role SpaceX plays in providing extreme value to NASA. SpaceX’s reusable rocket technology has saved taxpayers billions by making launches more cost-effective and efficient. Without SpaceX, the US might have had to rely on Russia to bring back those stranded astronauts. SpaceX didn't win those contracts because of Elon's charms or because he has the best lobbyists. They won them because they are at least a decade ahead of their closest competitors.

@chamath Someone tell Andrew’s 46 year old looking Botox filled mask ass wife my portfolio is still printing so if @andrewschulz ever mistreats and verbally abuses her like he did his ex Sara she can get flown out for a nice weekend in the 6 for a Nobu date. On yours is truly😂

@chamath @chamath is a huge Trump supporter, could you also have someone else on who explains why Tariffs are bad?

@chamath What kind of ignorant idea is it that “they’ve had the best of it”, by what measure. Where is all the money?

@chamath This was an EXCELLENT discussion with Chamath, with questions we've all been asking. Well worth the watch. Great job! 🙌

@chamath Nice, good interview boys! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Well spoken @chamath 👍

@chamath You say this until you need a tank

@chamath He is so wrong. cost of making those shoes will be very high in the US. Customers will suffer if they have to pay more. Trump will the put tariffs on imports to support domestic production. We are living in a multipolar world USA is not the only country that call the shots

@chamath How the fuck you gonna have even trade with countries that have populations less than one of our states? Obviously the country with more people and more money is gonna buy more shit.

@chamath Thanks Chamath! By far the most intelligent and comprehensive explanation of Trump's tariff strategy.

@chamath Excellent episode. That stated, this is still a devastating blow to people who were already struggling before the tariffs. Pulling up one’s pants is challenging when there are no pants to pull up (metaphorically - of course). Hoping for a miracle + that things turn around asap.

@chamath Im going to post a few times here as I listen....its a great conversation. Bad fact number 1. Apple sold 41 million iphones in China accounting for 28% of global sales. So ya...apple was/is pissed about the tariff.

@chamath If it’s really a battle against china you don’t put tariffs on on Vietnam and Taiwan. Anyone who is ignoring this simple fact is just trying to rationalise it by brown noising MAGA, opinion discarded.

@chamath “Why can’t we sell our US made hats in Cambodia?” CP failed to tell you that their average yearly earnings are $2,500. They can’t afford to buy US products, tariffs or not.

@chamath “I think the way they did it is very clever” ☠️ The tariff formula was a basic chat gpt answer with the parameters tweaked to enforce the most punitive tariff on every nation (friend or foe)

@BreakingPointsN @chamath A weak $Dollar$ is the goal, not a side-effect...

@chamath If we wanted to hear from a grifting piece of shit, we’d have invited Chamath on instead

@chamath Pineapple porta potty platypus.

@chamath Great episode !!

@chamath

@chamath Benevolence my balls. Chasing profits!。たなひ

@chamath Remember when Chamath in the matter of a month flip flopped his entire thoughts on crypto

@chamath What I like about these interviews is that it brings the attention to surface. For many these issues were only for a closed group. Now it’s more in the open, we can learn from it and voice with more data points and intelligence.

@chamath dance for me boysssssssss 😘 you @mark you got a Lil boy no??? I know you worried about feeding him long term my boy 😂 yo someone tell holloween mask she gonna have to monitor her daughter internet usage to avoid her seeing daddy’s grift era once she hits the web @andrewschulz

@chamath Seriously thank you for doing this one! Its appreciated! 🙌 You guys asked the exact questions so many people been wondering!

@chamath You can’t save your self money and cringe by not watching this.

@chamath tldr: “we shall eliminate taxes for people making under 150k, after making it extremely difficult to hire and grow” 💀
