This is the John Fugel-Sang Podcast.

There's so much to get to.

Obviously we'll be talking a bit about Elon Musk buying Twitter for 44 million, I'm sorry,

44 billion dollars. You know, a guy could have gone down in history for ending world hunger, bringing health care to

everybody in America. But no, history will record our mega billionaires had other priorities.

Just remember, you know, Elon Musk told the UN a couple years ago that

they gave him a budgeted breakdown of how $6 billion could end world hunger he would do it.

And they came up with a budget and they said here here's how we could use six billion

to and he just decided no not gonna do it instead he spent seven times that

to buy Twitter for free speech, even though Twitter is a private

company's free online platform service and they don't actually have the power to get rid of anybody's free speech.

I'd love to know what you guys think about the purchase.

You can always call us live on SeriousXM or write to us on the show's Facebook page.

We'd love to know your thoughts. I got to say the people

who are happy about this are a little too blindly happy and the people who are

angry about this are a little too angry.

I'm sorry, I know that everyone's upset about this, but here's two things to remember.

Is it weird that I'm much more upset that it's a lot easier to buy the US government than it is to buy a social media platform.

I mean, it costs a lot less than $44 billion to buy the entire US Senate. And right now two Democratic

senators are every bit as much for sale as 50 Republican senators.

Mitch McConnell literally told the GOP donors to give mansion and cinema the maximum.

And purchasing them has already hurt way more people than Elon Musk purchasing Twitter will ever hurt.
