• iPhone 17 may not get Apple's C1 modem, but will get a new Wi-Fi chip

    Most of Apple's iPhone 17 lineup won't be using its new C1 modem, Ming-Chi Kuo claims, but they will still benefit from a new in-house Wi-Fi chip design.A render of what the iPhone 17 could look like. Apple's introduction of the iPhone 16e also brought with it the C1, an internally-designed modem to wean Apple off from Qualcomm's version. However, it seems that most models in the next iPhone generation won't be using it.According to a Thursday X post from TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a hardware survey reveals that only the iPhone 17 Air will get the C1 modem in the future. Kuo doesn't specify, but this probably means Apple will be retaining the Qualcomm modems for the iPhone 17, Pro, and Pro Max models for at least one more year.

  • I cannot describe how strange Elon Musk’s CPAC appearance was
    www.theverge.com
    Elon Musk spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, giving a strange and often inarticulate on-stage interview to Newsmax presenter Rob Schmitt. Schmitt was all smiles and enthusiasm, and managed to steer Musk through the half hour, never pausing to look back on the obvious logical inconsistencies, various falsehoods, and mathematical errors that littered the interview. He even did a decent job of keeping the entire timeslot from devolving into internet memes, although he couldnt stop Musk from loudly pronouncing I am become meme. Still, the CPAC crowd ate it up. The following is a transcript created from CPACs own livestream of the event. This is, I emphasize, not a parody.Flashing lights, large screens ablaze with animated graphics reminiscent of the oughties. The CPAC logo spins around as generic rap-rock blasts across the crowd. Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, its time for the DOGE update. Please welcome Newsmax host, Rob Schmitt. Schmitt: Man. That is a big crowd. And they are not here for me. Crowd cheers. Schmitt: How you guys doing? Nice vibe this month, right? After the best month weve ever had. Nice to see you. Thanks for coming out. Its good to see you. Lets not kill any more time, lets bring out Elon Musk.Crowd goes wild. Elon Musk enters stage, pumping both fists high in the air, walking slightly unsteadily. He is wearing a black MAGA baseball cap and sunglasses that look like they were bought in a gas station in 1989. He continues to pump his fists as he makes his way in front of the beige arm chairs at the front of the stage. Rob Schmitt attempts to get his attention, but he turns and waves at the crowd. Schmitt: Weve got one more surprise, in case this wasnt enough.Musk: Well, President, uh, President Milei has a gift for me.Schmitt: [hamming at camera] Javier Milei from Argentina, you guys know who that is, right?Milei, a friendly-looking figure who resembles Bilbo Baggins right before he Smeagolifies, enters the stage carrying a chainsaw. He presents the chainsaw to the billionaire, who then waves it around unsteadily. Musk: This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy. [pumps the chainsaw in the air] CHAINSAAAW! He takes a beat to examine the chainsaw. He is still wearing his sunglasses. He turns around and starts wandering to the other side of the stage, waving the chainsaw around.Musk: Uwaaauwaargh! Milei lurks awkwardly in the background, trying to wave goodbye to Musk, before Schmitt takes notice.Schmitt: Mr. President, thank you so much. Nice to meet you. I love it. We love it. Musks attention snaps to Milei. The two men shake hands with the Argentinian president, who then departs.Musk: Where should we put this Schmitt: They want it right here. [moves the chainsaw] A little stage prop.Crowd screams for Elon Musk.Musk: I love you guys too!Schmitt: Thanks guys. Have a seat. The two men settle into the armchairs.Schmitt: So, uh. Heheh. That was something.Musk: [ineffectually suppressing grin] I am become meme. Schmitt chuckles obsequiously.Musk: Yeah. Pretty much. I was living the meme. Its just I was living the dream, and I was living the meme, and thats, pretty much whats happening. Schmitt: Its Musk: I mean, DOGE started out as a meme. Think about it! [laughs] Now its real!Schmitt: [smiling affably] So Musk: [to audience, sunglasses still on] Isnt that crazy!Schmitt: It is, it is crazy.Musk: But its cool. I was living the dream, and I was living the meme, and thats, pretty much whats happening.Schmitt: Let me ask you this. A year ago, if someone had told you youd be at CPAC and working with the president to absolutely shred [dramatic pause] the government the swamp whatever you want to call it. Would you believe that? Musk: No. [snickers] But its cool! This is awesome. And I just wanna say, thanks for your support, I mean. Crowd cheers.Musk: You guys are. You know. Were, you know, were trying to get good things done, but also, like, you know, have a good time doing it and, uh, you know, and have, like, a sense of humor.Crowd cheers. Musk: You know. So, like, I mean, the sort of the left wanted to make comedy illegal, you know, you cant make fun of anything. So this is, like, comedy suuuuuucks. Its like, nothings funny. You cant make fun of anything. He waves his arms so emphatically that the large gold chain hes wearing clanks against his mic.Musk: Its like, LEGALIZE COMEDY! YEEEAH! Legalize Comedy! Schmitt: And weve shifted the entire culture in just the last few months, the whole culture of this country has shifted dramatically just because of that election. Musk: Yeah, exactly. Freedom of speech, having fun again, it seems like we should We should have a good time. You know?Schmitt: I mean, its a great time. Everybody in this place is so excited, and I havent, I mean, when you talk to conservatives, everybodys happy.Musk: [nodding emphatically] Yeah. Schmitt: And everybody feels this great sense of relief, because we were going to hell for about four years. Musk: Yeah. Schmitt: It really felt bad, especially toward the end, it felt really bad. Musk: [still nodding] Yeah. I mean, I thought, I thought we were sort of heading for a point of no return really, you know, until, um, thats why it was so essential that President Trump win the election and, and that there, there be a Republican majority in the House and Senate, which, thanks to you [gestures generally at CPAC audience] that, that has been accomplished. Yeah.Schmitt: I want to ask you, one of the biggest questions I have for you is youve been, you know, politically, you werent really on one side or the other for a long time. You were a businessman, a lot of people, they stay away from it now. Youre on a side, youve chosen a side. Youre sitting here in a MAGA hat. How did that happen? What was the moment? Musk: Its like, you know, dark gothic MAGA. [preens over his hat, which features MAKE AMERICA GREAT in a blackletter typeface]Schmitt: Thats a good one. Was there a specific moment? Was there a moment that it all changed? Musk: Yeah, when I realized I was a fool.He laughs, and his chain clanks against his mic again. Musk: But no, I was, I guess, uh yeah, I mean, Id say, I was like, politically neutral for, for quite a while. You know. You know, leaning a little Democrat. You know. [winces theatrically]Schmitt: So then how do you go from that to this? [points at CPAC audience] Musk: [sigh] Well, uh, it Schmitt: Did they go crazy? Musk: [laughs] Yeah, they did they did go crazy. I mean that whole cancel culture and, you know, trying to, trying to stop freedom of speech, and um, infringe upon, just in general, infringe upon peoples personal freedoms. You know, they just want state control, state control of what you say They wanna, they wanna, you know, take away your guns, and the reason they wanna take away your guns, is like, so theres nothing you can do to oppose them. So its sort of like, you know, I just, I just, I just like. We, we, we, we just need to restore the fundamental elements of what made America great, which is, uh, freedom and opportunity. Crowd cheers. Schmitt: Were seeing a lot of these freedoms disappearing in the West. Its not just about America. Were watching, were all watching Europe and knowing that theyre about 50, 100 years ahead of us, right? Because they got an early start, and were watching how theyre devolving, and youre trying to save it from happening here. I mean, in Europe, they put people in prison for memes. Yeah. You know, Im like, thats insane.Musk: I mean, in Europe, they put people in prison for memes. Yeah. You know, Im like, thats insane.Schmitt: Theyre collapsing. Theyre a collapsing society. It feels that way. Musk: It feels like Schmitt: France was nicer 50 years ago than this.Musk: Yeah. Schmitt: I dont think you can question it.Musk: Yeah. Um. so. Yeah. So. Yeah. I mean. Really. He appears to be trying to start a sentence. Eventually he breaks down laughing. Someone in the crowd cheers, he turns to them. Musk: Yeah, I love you too! I mean. I really, I really, I really just want to do useful things, like, you know, basically build products, you know, provide products and services that are that are good and I wasnt really that interested in being political. It, just, like, there was a certain point, no choice. Yeah. So, yeah. Schmitt: Can I ask you on the same side of that coin whats it like going from neutral to being vilified, largely vilified by the media? I think youre Musk: What? No. Really? HANHHANHHHAHA!Schmitt: I mean, turn on some of these channels, brother. I mean, theyre angry at you. Does it bother you at all? Musk: I mean, were they chanting for my death? I suppose thats a little, you know like, the songs not even that gooooood. And its like, its like, you call that a death chant? [wriggles torso while seated] Thats noooothing, pleeease.Schmitt: Theyve been singing a lot lately. Theres a lot of music lately. Its not good music either. Yeah, yeah. I would say that theyre, you know, watching what youre doing with DOGE is just that people love it. Crowd cheers.Schmitt: I mean, Ive always looked at the government and Ive always looked at the government. Ive seen this big machine that, and you just know that they waste because they dont care. Nobody could. Theres more money coming. They dont care. Youre cutting all this out. Everybody in this country knows that the government is full of waste, fraud, and abuse, and youre doing the work, and the Americans love it. Watching their reaction politically to this, I cant believe how bad they are responding to this. I dont know how youre going to sit there and scream and complain because theyre cutting waste out of the government and try to win another election. How do you try to win on that? Musk: Well, at this point, Im like, Im not sure how much of the left is even real. Schmitt: Like, how much was propped up by our money? Musk: Yeah, you see, like, these, these sort of fake rallies with hardly any people and the media will, like, frame it, [making a rectangle with his fingers] and like, you know, get all six people you know, in the frame, but its like, nobody else is there, like, just, it doesnt have popular support, um. But theres, but then, but then you learn that, like, theres hundreds of billions of dollars going to these so-called NGOs, and that, and its your tax dollars that are funding things that are fundamentally anti-American.Schmitt: And theyre propping up their narrative. A lot of that government money has been propping up a left that I dont think is, I dont think is as strong as they made it seem. Musk: In fact, a massive amount of your tax dollars is going to legacy media companies, directly from the from, from the government. Schmitt: The government wants to take over media. Crowd boos. Musk: Yeah, its terrible. Schmitt: Yeah, thats why we have X.Musk: Yeah! And thats Schmitt: Thats why you spent $44 billion I mean, theres a lot of money. More than it was probably worth, but it had, there was a message.Musk: Freedom is priceless. [nods sagely as crowd goes wild]Schmitt: Probably one of the most important investments this countrys ever seen. If you gotta protect the First Amendment, its not much more important than that. Musk: Yeah. I mean, I got a lot of criticism, and people, people, said, well, that proves hes a huge idiot from a, you know, like, look, he bought it for like whatever, $44 billion and now its worth, like, eight cents. Schmitt: And its not worth eight cents!Musk: You know, theres that, but, but yeah, it was essentially to, you know, buy. freedom of expression. And Schmitt: Onces thats gone its all over, all over, yeah, tyranny is really quick after that. Musk: Yeah. I mean, like, you know. All the sort of federal money going to media companies is what, what helps explain why the legacy media all says the same thing at the same time. Yeah, like, isnt it, like, its like, weird, like, you put them up with, like, you know, like, whenSchmitt: [jumping in] Theyre mouthpieces forMusk: For the state! Yes.The billionaire, who owns a social media platform, and is supposedly also a federal official, nods.Schmitt: Thats what weve come to know. Yeah, scary. Musk: Yeah. I like the theme with it, where, where, where, because theyre always saying, like, threat to our democracy, threat to our democracy, but if you just replaced democracy with bureaucracy. It makes a lot of sense.Schmitt: Makes perfect sense. Musk: [smirking] Big threat to the bureaucracy. Schmitt: Thats exactly right. Lets talk about, lets talk about these DOGE dividend checks that everybodys talking about this week. And I know you tweeted out that youre gonna because [turns to audience] Does everybody want, like, a $5,000 check in the mail? That sounds kind of good, right? Crowd cheers.Schmitt: And the best part about it would be knowing where it came from, that thats five grand that you sent them last year. Musk: Totally, its money thats taken away from, from things that are destructive to the country, that and from organizations that hate you, to you. Thats awesome. Schmitt: Does it seem like Musk: I mean thats like, glorious. [laughs] The spoils of battle, you know? Schmitt: Is there traction on that? Musk: Yeah, yeah. So yeah. [inaudible] the president. Hes supportive of that. And so it sounds like, you know, thats something were going to do. So as were finding savings, thats going to translate directly to reductions in tax. Yeah. Crowd cheers.Schmitt: I mean, I think they fired 6,000 people at the IRS today, and I think, they said last night that theyre talking about shutting down the IRS.Crowd cheers even more.Schmitt: I think its fair. I think people should realize this is, I mean, the amount of money that we said we send Washington, like five or six trillion a year, that is such an ungodly amount of money. I mean, like, a trillion seconds, is like 30 years or something like that. I mean, thats how much we send them. And they seem to never have enough. There must be a lot you can cut. Musk: No, absolutely. People ask me, Whats the most surprising thing that youve encountered when you go to DC? You know, were in DC. And I said, well, the most surprising thing is the scale of the expenditures, and actually, uh, how easy it is to with a just, just when you add caring and competence, where there was absent before you can actually save billions of dollars sometimes in, in an hour. Yeah, like, its wild. Schmitt: And then they scoff at it and say, oh, a few billion here there. I mean, the way theyre talking about it, they, you can see they dont care. Its so its such little money compared to how much theyre used to wasting. Thats whats really scary. Musk: Um, yeah, no, exactly. But obviously its, its, it just shows that they really lack empathy for the average taxpayer whos working hard, paying, paying taxes, and then, and then they say, oh, a million dollars doesnt matter. Im like, I think it matters a lot to people you know. So what are you talking about? Schmitt: Id like to have it. Let me ask you a question. You know, I know the President fairly well. Watched him survive two assassination attempts. The second, had the first one not happened, the second one would have gotten him, because without those extra guys, they would have never seen that gun poking through the fence at the golf course. Musk: Isnt it mind blowing that this has happened? I mean, and just and what? By the way, why do we still know nothing about that guy in Butler, whats going on? But uh Kash is gonna get to the bottom of it! Yeah! Woo! [pumps arms, but only about halfway up]Rob Schmitt and Elon Musk onstage at CPAC 2025. Getty ImagesSchmitt: Just a couple hours ago, I saw that the security detail that you had come in with is enormous. Musk: Its not that enormous, maybe it should be bigger. Schmitt: It might. I think you could probably afford it. But, I mean, how concerned are you about your safety? I mean, its you. Are you? You are a wanted man. Are you? Are you? Musk: So I look, Im open to ideas for improving security. I have to tell you. Like I dont actually have a death wish. I think. But, you know, its not that easy. So, yeah, I mean, but I have like that, even like people like President Bukele from El Salvador, who managed to put in prison like a 100,000, like, murderous thugs. And he was like, he called me. Hes like, Im worried about your security. Im like, YOURE worried about my security? Okay, you know. I mean, yeah.Schmitt: Talk about guts to do that down there. Musk: I mean, yeah, totally. Schmitt: And then survive. Musk: Like, Im like, I was like, how did you put all those thugs in prison without dying, because things like that would have been not easy. You know.Schmitt: Well, theres the President, as one of his top attorneys is now investigating, I guess Chuck Schumer, for threats against SCOTUS. Congress, on the Democrats side, for saying, you know, basically saying hes gonna bring a war to you, like a fight to you. I mean, the rhetoric you guys are screwing with things that are not supposed to be messed with. Musk: Were fighting [inaudible]Schmitt: a lot of people that really dont want that to happen. Musk: Were fighting Matrix big time here. It has got to be done. Schmitt: Yeah, and it certainly does. [brushing over the Matrix reference] Whats going on with tell us about Fort Knox. Kentucky. Its a military base. Its a ton of gold, tons and tons and tons.Musk: 5,000 tons of gold, something.Schmitt: 5,000 are there in the ground and like this. I mean, its a very secure thing.Musk: I think we all want to see it. Schmitt: Id love to see it like this. Musk: This is your gold, by the way. Its the publics gold. Schmitt: Do you think its not there?All this gold at Fort Knox. Its the publics gold. Its your gold. So, like, I think you have, like, a right to see it.Musk: I dont know, but I think I just want to see it. Yeah, we want to go see it and just make sure. Like, make sure, like, did somebody spray paint some lead or something, you know, yeah, like, is this real gold? You might have to bite the bar. You know. But I think, honestly, you know, part of this also is just like, lets, you know, lets have some fun. And, you know, like, like, I said, this, all this gold at Fort Knox. Its the publics gold. Its your gold. So, like, I think you have, like, a right to see it.Schmitt: And take a tour.Musk: Yeah, I think we should have a do a do a tour. And the President last night was like, thats, I think hes in favor of it. That would be cool. And then we, like, it should be like a live tour, like, youll see whats going on, open the door, [gestures dramatically] like, whats behind it, well, and theres, you know, I think Id watch that. Yeah.Crowd goes wild.Schmitt: I mean, what is, what is 5,000 tons of is it? Is it the size of this Musk: Gotta be pretty big, you know. Its gotta be a lot of other stuff in there, like, around, like, I dont even got some other stuff in there. Schmitt: Are you thinking about auditing the Federal Reserve as well, which is obviously Musk: [laughs, shrugs] Yeah, sure.Schmitt: regulatory economy. I imagine you think the waste has got to be everywhere. Musk: Yeah, no, waste. Waste is pretty much everywhere. People ask, like, how can you find waste? And, like, in DC, Im like, look, its like being in a room, and this target, the wall, the roofs and the floor are all targets. So its like, youre gonna close your eyes and go shoot in any direction [laughs] you cant miss, you know. So its, its pretty wild, like, like, you just push on things a little bit, and you save billions of dollars, like, just a little bit, you know, its wild.Schmitt: Scary, isnt it? Musk: Its why I say like, it really is underrated, if you add caring and competence, how much things improve. Yeah, and, you know, and we just find so many totally crazy things, which, you know, obviously were sharing with the public. We post everything we learn, you know, just you know, so you can see it, you know. Schmitt: What do you Musk: Its like, isnt it? Like, its totally wild. Like, we did just, we just did, like, a check on the database on Social Security. Like, says, how many, a lot Americans, alive Americans eligible for Social Security, are there? And according to the database, its over 400 million. And were like, wait a second, and how many are you again? Yeah. And then, like, we found, like, one person in there is, like, 306 years old. Im like, [inaudible from crosstalk] I mean, yeah, you know this, America doesnt exist before at that time. Like, so, why? So, you know, maybe its just me, but I think its a red flag. I dont know.Schmitt: But are there indications that there were checks going to those people, or any of those people? Musk opens his mouth and pauses.Musk: Well yeeeeah. Schmitt: I guess thats the question.Musk: ThatsSchmitt: I get the Social Security Administration is dumb, but are they paying these people? Are they that dumb? I dont know. Musk: A bunch of money is going out from the Social Security Administration, and, in fact, from all entitlement programs.Schmitt: $72 billion in waste in like seven years. Its $10 billion a year. Musk: Well, I think the rough estimate from General Government Accountability offices, theres over $500 billion in 40 years. Schmitt: [leans in] Sorry, five?Musk: [enunciating] Five hundred bill-i-on.Schmitt: Over how long?Musk: Per year, per year.Schmitt: On Social Security?Musk: No, no, on all, on all Schmitt: On all government?Musk: On all entitlements, all entitlements. Yeah, it sort of actually makes sense. When you look at the thing from a top level and say, like, okay, theres $7 trillion of spending by the government. What percentage do you think is fraudulent? Okay, exactly like a conservative estimate of the $7 trillion would be 10 percent. Conservative. Schmitt: Probably higher than that, yeah, exactly like a quarter every dollar, right? Musk: But if the fraud is only 10 percent of $7 trillion, youve got $700 billion of fraud, and by the way, so its like, really easy to take advantage of the federal government. Very easy.The billionaire federal contractor nods knowingly.Schmitt: Look at COVID! Look at all these scams! I mean, its unbelievable! Listen, if theres going to be fraud, it should at least be domesticMusk: It looks like, for, in terms of covid payments, yeah, there was something like $200 billion of covid payment fraud taken by fraudsters out of the country. Thats like, I think, listen, if theres going to be fraud, it should at least be domestic so, you know. But they managed to get $200 billion out of the country. Im like, what! Why didnt we notice that? Schmitt: Let me ask you, lets do immigration here for a second. You know, theres this move now that Trumps latest thing is that he cut, hes going to cut funding any kind of money that ends up in the hands of illegal immigrants. So if youre funding these sanctuary cities and states, thats how they thrive, right? Theyre paying for these hotels. Thats all federal money. If you got a hotel in your city in New York, you got all these hotels full of migrants. Thats not state money. Thats the feds are covering that, hes going to cut all that. Its really hard to deport 15 million people. And it seems like the move now is, lets make it so that they leave on their own. If theres no longer a dole system for them, if they cant get their hands on hotel rooms and money, theyre going to go back, especially if theres no work. Musk: Well, I think its really important for people to understand that the Biden administration sent any possible money that they could, they could, if there was money they could send to facilitate and amplify illegal immigration, they sent it. Okay. They took money from FEMA meant for helping Americans in distress, and sent that money to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in New York. That is an outrage. Loud booing.Musk: They actually did that, and not only that, even after the President signed an executive order saying it has to stop, the FEMA, the whatever deep state bureaucrats still pressed send on $80 million last week to go to the Roosevelt Hotel in New York and other places last week. And now, and now, theyre mad that theyve got stopped, and theyre like trying to sue to have it be restored. Its like, the gumption.Schmitt: You think theyre creating a new voter class? You think that was the goal? When they opened up the borders for four years, create a new voter class, get them citizenship, get them in. Musk: Yeah, a lot of these things like, you dont actually have to assume some grand conspiracy. You just need to look at basic incentives. So if the incentives, fundamentally, if the probability that an illegal is going to vote Democrat at some point, whether its cheating, but eventually they can become citizens. But if probability is like 80, 90 percent just look at California, which is super majority Dem. And then the incentive is to maximize the number of illegals in the country. That is why the Biden administration was pushing to get as many illegals as possible and spend every dollar possible to get as many. Because every one of them is a customer. Everyone is a voter. So the whole thing was a giant voter importation scam. Schmitt: Pretty obvious.Musk: Very obvious. And then, moreover, then, they actually created the CBP One border app thing where they were, which is, like, where they could, they would literally fly people in. Its not like, like, at the point at which you know, people being flown in at your expense Schmitt: sending planes Musk: Like building a wall up doesnt work. Schmitt: Theyre literally flying them in. No other country in the world would do something like this. Nobody is this stupid. Musk: Yeah. And then we found that there was, like $100 million contract given to some guy in London, actually, while, you know, yeah, well, the CBP One app. So, so then, so theyre flying illegals into the swing states. And if youve got like, a margin of victory of maybe 20,000 people, and you fly 200,000 illegals into that state, its not gonna be a swing state for long. Schmitt: Change the numbers. Maybe in four, eight years.Musk: Exactly.Schmitt: Its a long game. Its just a matter of time. Musk: So it might take, like, a year for an asylum seeker to get on the green card and five years for the citizenship, its an investment that is guaranteed to pay off. Its just a question of when.Schmitt: They all remember who brought them in and who left them here.Musk: Exactly, exactly. I want to go back. I want to talk about my big deal like, I think a lot of people like, dont quite appreciate that this was an actual, real scam at scale to tilt the scales of democracy in America.Crowd claps, cheers.Schmitt: Treason. Musk: Treason. Schmitt: One more Biden question. I remember when, you know, when they would do the electric car stuff, they would always try to box you out, even though you have the only electric car anybody wants. Musk: Yeah.Schmitt: You said, I think this week that you think that Biden left these astronauts up in space because he didnt want to give you an opportunity to save them. Make NASA look bad, make the private sector look better, make you look good. You believe that? Musk: Yeah, no, absolutely. So, of course.Schmitt: I kind of agree. Why would he want to let you help them come down when youre supporting the president? Musk: The Biden administration was, was attacking me next level. I mean, the Department of Justice or Injustice, under the Biden administration was, I mean, they were suing SpaceX. Theyre suing SpaceX for not hiring asylum seekers. And were like, but its actually illegal for us to hire asylum seekers because were rocket technology is covered under ITAR rules, which that means its an advanced weapons technology, yeah. And so we can only hire permanent residents or green card or citizens, right? Like, so were damned if we do, damned if we dont. We said like, so how can they sue us for not hiring asylum seekers when its actually illegal for us to do so. But nonetheless, there was a big Department of Justice or Injustice case about this against SpaceX, so obviously it was an antagonistic situation, and those astronauts were supposed to be up there for eight days, and now theyre up for eight months. Does that make any sense? And we, we, we, obviously could have brought them back sooner, but they didnt want anyone who could support President Trump to look good. Basically.Schmitt: Yeah.Musk: Thats the, thats the thats the issue. Schmitt: A lot of them are saying right now that the reason that you want to get into Social Security, that you want to get into all of these different into Treasury and things like that, is that youre looking for personal information and youre trying to make more money. Musk: Yeah.Schmitt: Ive never met anybody as rich as you that cared less about money in my life. Every time I hear a story about you, youre sleeping on a couch of some other guy in a city that you could buy the entire thing. I dont think you care about money, dude.Musk: I mean, I, I, I. [laughs] Listen, like if I steal Social Security, I can finally buy nice things. Yeah?Schmitt: And on that same question, theyre also talking about, you guys are going to end Social Security, youre going to end Medicare, youre going to end these things. I dont imagine that conversation has been had with the President, and thats thats the plan. Musk: No, in fact, the actions that were taking with the support of the President and the support of the agencies, is, what will save Medicare? What will save Social Security? Crowd cheers.Musk: And and, because if the country goes insolvent, if all, if all the money is just spent on paying interest on debt, theres no money left for anything. Yeah, so thats, thats the reason Im doing this, is because I looked at the big picture here, and its like, man, our debts getting out of control. The interest payments, interest on the national debt now exceeds the entire defense department budget. Schmitt: A trillion a year. In interest, just to carry the money that we owe, is a trillion a year. Musk: Yes.Schmitt: Unbelievable.So like, I mean, a countrys no different from a person. Country overspends, country goes bankrupt. Same with, same as a person who overspends goes bankrupt.Musk: Rising rapidly. So like, I mean, a countrys no different from a person. Country overspends, country goes bankrupt. Same with, same as a person who overspends goes bankrupt. So its not like optional to solve these things. Its essential. Schmitt: So were gonna go bankrupt. Musk: Yes.Schmitt: We are.Crowd claps.Schmitt: Couple minutes left here. Russia, theres a huge push Musk: Oh, yeah, yeah. People like, sort of like, the end, like, yeah, you know, Im a, Im a bought asset of Putin, yeah, Im like, he cant afford me. Schmitt: Yeah, I think, I think youre worth more than Russia.Musk: [mugging at crowd] Think about it! [giggles]Schmitt: So youre trying to end, youre trying to end a war. Ending a war always means you have to compromise. You have to negotiate with an enemy or an adversary. Thats just what it is. And right now, they are lambasting the president for trying a different method to war that they havent been able to end for three and a half years. Three years. Yeah, they, you know, theyre saying Trumps blaming Zelensky for the invasion. How do you, how do you process all of the negativity toward him for trying to end this war? Musk: Well, first of all, I think we should have empathy for the people dying at the front lines. Thats the most important thing. If people have been dying, you know, like, how many more years is this supposed to go on? And imagine if that was your son, your father, you know, what are they dying for? What exactly are they dying for? That line has, the line of engagement has barely moved for two years. Theres a whole bunch of people dead in trenches for what. And Ill tell you what for, what its like for the biggest graft machine that Ive ever seen in my life, thats for what. Its unreal, like the amount of money that is being taken in graft and bribery is disgusting. And so whats actually happening is that those, those you know, people, those poor guys, are getting sent into a meat grinder for money. Thats whats actually going on. And needs to stop. Schmitt: Trump is so pragmatic on this. He just, hes just looking at it, and hes saying its Ukraine, its not our country, its not a NATO ally. I just want to see people not dying. I want to see, on both sides, I mean, think about how many young so many young men have died in Ukraine that the army is starting to age out. The military is aging out. You get 40 and 50 year old guys fighting in a war because theres nobody left thats not killed or maimed in their 20s. Thats the reality. Think about how many people that is, if youre a humanitarian at all, you just got to end the war, like, no matter what, just get it over with. The president has a lot of empathy. He really cares. You know, hes good, hes a good man.Musk: Yes, people, they need to stop dying and the graft machines got to stop, you know, so, and I think people that dont, a lot of people out there dont realize, like, the president has a lot of empathy. He really cares. You know, hes good, hes a good man. Crowd claps.Schmitt: I got one more for you. Ive been fascinated by you for a very long time. Musk: Thanks. Schmitt: Ive just, I just, Ive never seen anybody that can, you know, do so many things at the same time. I mean, youve got the rockets, you got the cars. Ive always wanted to ask you, what is it like inside your mind, like, this, is it just 1,000 miles an hour? I mean, are you Musk: Yeah.Schmitt: Is it just not? I mean, just, does it ever stop? Do you sleep? How much do you sleep? Paint us a picture of inside of the mind of a genius? Like, how do you can you answer that question? Its not an easy question. Musk: I meanHe pauses. He is still wearing the sunglasses, having never taken them off this entire time. Musk: My mind is a storm. So. Its a storm.He pauses again.Musk: But, but, I mean, let me maybe tell you something like, you didnt ask the question, but, but I think its worth nonetheless, maybe just elaborating on something, which is, you know, I grew up in South Africa and but my morality was informed by America. I read comic books, you know, played Dungeons & Dragons.Very small section of crowd cheers. Musk: And I watched American TV shows and, like, it seemed like America cared about being the good guys, you know, about doing the right thing and, and thats actually pretty unusual, by the way. [laughs] Schmitt: In the world, its very unusual. Yeah, its not like, actually, countries dont do that. Musk: No, they dont, no. And so I was like, Yeah, you know, you want to be this good. You want to be on the side of good. You want to care about whats right. And, and uh, yeah. So thats, thats, yeah, what I believe in.Audience member screams that they love him. Schmitt: I gave you, I gave you a tough one at the end. Musk: Yeah.Schmitt: So yeah, thats great. Thats great. [to crowd] Elon Musk. Crowd goes wild. The camera zooms out, showing a standing ovation.Musk: All right. Schmitt: Thank you. Thank you so much. Appreciate you.Elon Musk recommences wandering back and forth across the stage, waving the chainsaw. He pauses; an odd rectangular shape is bobbing through the crowd. It floats up towards Musk, he grabs it. It appears to be a very large fan art painting of Musk himself. He grabs the painting with one hand and the chainsaw with the other.Musk: Thanks, guys!They exit the stage.See More:

  • Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land Might Be the Series' Coziest JRPG Yet Hands-On Preview
    www.ign.com
    After over two dozen mainline games, I can only imagine how difficult it must be to innovate and stay relevant in an era where a great game is coming out every few weeks, but thats exactly what KOEI TECMO aims to do with the next entry in its long-running Atelier JRPG series, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land. After spending over six hours gathering resources, doing Sailor Moon-esque magical dancing rituals, and riding around on a motorbike, Im inclined to believe theyll pull off just that, yet again. With more engaging combat, improved visuals, more convenient crafting, and an entirely new building system that lets you put your own personal touch on the world, theres quite a bit to be optimistic about, even if what I saw of the story and characters was, at least so far in the opening hours, pretty boilerplate stuff for the genre.If youve played any of the recent Atelier games, then you probably wont be shocked by Atelier Yumia at first glance. All three of the pillars that have been around since its conception are still alive and well: exploration, where you run around collecting resources and solving puzzles; combat, where you fight baddens with a party chock-full of pretty anime friends, and synthesis, where you combine your hard-won resources into alchemical creations that make you stronger. But each has been given a substantial overhaul (not to mention a serious facelift) that breathes new life into a familiar formula.Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land ScreenshotsCombat seems to be getting the biggest rework, with action-based systems that let you perfect parry, dodge out of the way, and switch to different range bands depending on whether youd like to thwack enemies in melee or take them down from a distance. At lower levels, combat seemed fairly undemanding, as I was able to just unload every ability I had, swap to other characters to do the same, then repeat it all again, ending most encounters in a matter of seconds, but later on (and especially when I wasnt properly leveled) I seriously got rinsed if I wasnt paying attention to enemy attack patterns and working on my timing. It never got especially challenging so long as I was properly leveled, but it was nice to see a less passive combat system that I couldnt just steamroll through while on autopilot.Combat seems to be getting the biggest rework.Exploration also had some improvements, like having a gun to stun enemies and collect resources at a distance, ziplines that help you navigate the map more easily once you find and activate both sides of the line, and, crucially, a badass motorcycle for you to speed around on that makes getting around much easier. Finally, theres Synthesis, which in typically Atelier fashion is so dang complicated, you could spend quite a bit of time customizing and min-maxing every aspect of your gear and crafting new items and attacks to use in battle. Or, if you dont have the patience like me, you can just hit auto mode and itll automatically optimize all of it for you. Not that I dont enjoy this aspect of the series, but its certainly nice to have the option of leaping back into the action quickly for times where I wasnt in the mood to tinker.PlayAtelier Yumia also shakes things up by adding a fourth fairly significant activity to the list of things to do as you explore and level up: the ability to build and customize settlements throughout the world map. Thats right Atelier Yumia seems to be leaning into the cozy craze, so now you can have a little bit of Animal Crossing or Sims with your JRPG by constructing your fantasy cottage on a patch of land and spending some quality downtime with your party members. I was only able to dabble in this a bit, given the constraint of the resources available to me in the early part of the story, but I could definitely see myself sinking quite a bit of time into taming the wilds with an elaborately decorated home.With all Atelier has going for it, I will say that it did very little to make itself stand out in terms of story. The characters and foreshadowing of the undoubtedly epic and convoluted story that starts to develop in the opening hours arent bad by any means, but at least so far everything has been quite predictable and retreads a lot of ground weve seen from JRPGs of the past. This is especially true of the characters I met during my explorations, like the ditzy by wholesome Isla and the stoic and no-nonsense Viktor, both of whom I feel like Ive seen half a hundred times already. But this is the beginning of a JRPG, so in all likelihood its just going to take a while for the story to start rolling or for characters to show their true colors to any level of satisfaction, leaving plenty of opportunity for my concerns to disappear given more time.PlayI would be remiss if I didnt mention that Atelier Yumia marks the first time the series will appear on the Xbox platform, and as a Westerner who would quite like more JRPGs to be readily available, thats pretty awesome to see. Achievement unlocked!
