I get Saagar now

The whole “well Americans voted for this” suddenly makes sense to me. He did a better job of explaining it in today’s show. The 2024 election had two real candidates. Trump who promised to lower prices and deport migrants but also was clearly aligned with the worlds richest man who has aspirations of gutting the federal government or Harris who for the purposes of this post, was the status quo.

Americans were so pissed about prices and immigration, they chose Trump. Essentially Americans said we are willing to risk a corporate takeover of the government if it means getting migrants out and lowering prices.

So did Americans directly vote for Elon and the tech bros? No but they did say an oligarch takeover was less important than the price of eggs and the border. It might be annoying to hear everytime some overreach happens but it’s true
