Men, I’m starting to suspect that Elon Musk is a bit intelligent!
Two days ago, actor Theo Von appeared on the” Joe Rogan Experience”. For those of you unfamiliar with Von, he’s a standup comic, a” Friend of Joe” ( absolutely not to be confused with a” Friend of Dorothy” ), a podcasting brethren, and a proud member of the “new media” who interviewed Donald Trump before the election.

You know Elon Musk has an insanely academic vibe, right? Theo Von … er, how can I put this without being mean? Well, Theo Von is funny, and much of his humor relies on him being ( ahem ) acutely self-aware of his educational limitations. But he seems very nice, and according to Donald Trump, Theo Von was personally endorsed by his son ( and unofficial “podcast advisor” ) Baron Trump.
Yeah, Theo Von and Joe Rogan hung out along on election day in Austin, Texas. However, they shared a number of Club seats at Donald Trump’s win group. Among these” Companions of Joe” were UFC leader Dana White, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, running mate JD Vance, and businessman extraordinaire Elon Musk.
Earlier in Von’s looks on the” Joe Rogan Experience”, the two recounted their Election Day experience. Rogan dropped a bombshell that the popular media has mostly ignored:
Â
Start watching at the 13: 10 second level. The picture in question just runs about 90 seconds.
Joe Rogan: It was fascinating because the end at the day, no one knew what was going to happen, but you’re watching the initial results roll in and there’s, like, this crazy thing. And then Trump gets way ahead, but you’re, like, you do n’t want to, like, get too hopeful. Like, how way forward is he? He’s back by 100 items! That seems a bit, to me!
Von: Yeah, and you’re like, what is it and some programs are, like, and then every network’s kind of unique.
Joe Rogan: Yeah, they had different quantities. On my Apple News improvements, I was receiving a different number than on CNN. And finally I was texting individuals. Like Tusli]Gabbard ] and JD Vance: I was getting a different update. Obviously, Elon created an app, and he knew who won four days before the benefits. But, as the findings were coming in — ,
Von: Nah uh!
Joe Rogan: Four time before they called it, Dana White told me Elon was like,” I’m leaving. It’s through. Donald won”. He only …
[Laughter]
Joe Rogan: He really f***ing left! … in some way or another —
Von: I’m gonna go back to my capsule and vanish!
Joe Rogan: I do n’t know what he’s getting where he’s pulling his data from, but he had, like, the most accurate data in terms of the rural states had n’t put their results in yet, but, yet Trump was ahead in these states. Those claims would never be won by Kamala. But, tabulated that, and enjoy, put it all together.
Von: Wow
Joe Rogan: I do n’t know how he did it. But Dana told — I have n’t even talked to Elon about this, I do n’t know, like, the” Dana translation”, but Dana said he had an app. And he was, like, showing him. He’s like,” It’s over”. He f**king left! Dude only left! It’s around!  ,

It’s questionable how Musk sourced and tracked this information, but through his rights of Twitter/X, he’s secret to billions of distinctive data-points in all 50 states. It’s an administrative, custom, first-mover advantage, he has access to certain data before everyone else.
But he’s already revolutionized the online payment industry, the automotive market, the worldwide Internet business, and the jet business. Upholding the Election Day prognostications market may be low-hanging fruits at this point.
Because, let’s face it: When the internet is still suddenly running post-election reports like” How did US vote polling get it wrong again”, this is an economy in dire need of disturbance.
And disrupting exhausted, stable, inefficient business is what Elon Musk does ideal.
In the months ahead, it will be interesting to see how Musk’s ability collection is utilized by the incoming Trump presidency. It’s my wish — as well as my desire — that he’ll be used for what he is: a millennial property.
Fuel is a tool. Silver is a tool. And so is knowledge.
There’s a great probability that Musk, like anyone who has ever worked for the federal government, will be able to identify gaps in where we are and where we could be better than…
…y’know, I do n’t even know how to finish that thought!  ,

Musk defies all evaluations, he might not just be “generationally” exclusive– that could actually be selling him little. In fact, he’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen in company, politicians, or culture since the Industrial Revolution first began. He’s a little like Edison, a little like Ford, a little like Gutenberg, but he’s also significantly distinct.  ,
But while we’ve got him, this break open that big ol ‘ brain of his and notice what comes out!
And in the meantime, props to Team Trump for finding a way to never just take Musk into the MAGA slide, but for keeping him motivated, engaged, and excited. The British people will be the biggest recipient.
In fact, even Elon may even render us a new application.
