Full breakdown of Elon Musk at 'The League Congress' hosted by Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini
DOGE cutting wasteful spending
“It's very difficult to reduce the size of the bureaucracy and government spending. It comes with immense opposition. Even when the things that we are cutting make no sense at all, it still gets a lot of opposition”
- DOGE is fully transparent
- DOGE is only cutting the most obvious terrible expenses that make no sense
- Nonetheless, DOGE gets attacked like crazy
Free Speech
“As a general rule, you can tell who, which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech.”
“The side that is restricting freedom of speech, you know, that would have been sort of the Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini's of the world. They had very strong censorship, very strong restrictions on speech. That's one of the signs that they are the bad guys”
- A restriction on speech and large government is fundamentally fascist
- Pushing for censorship, it makes it very clear that the left is the side that is against freedom
- Freedom of Speech is necessary for a civil society
Immigration
“Mass immigration is insane and will lead to the destruction of any country that allows unfettered mass immigration. That country will simply cease to exist”
- Immigrating even a small percentage of people into a new country can wipe out that countries culture
- A country is not its geography, a country is its people
Attacks in Europe by immigrants
“You're clearly seeing a massive increase in the number of attacks in Italy and broadly in Europe. The legacy media, downplays these attacks. But the attacks, the terrorism, the killing of innocent people is rising every week. There's more and it's more and more and eventually, I think we're going to see widespread slaughter in Europe”
- The number of terrorist attacks that are occurring in Europe are increasing rapidly
- If you were to make a graph of the amount of deadly attacks vs time, “It leads to the slaughter of Europe”
- Your friends, your family, your children, your parents. That's where it leads. The numbers are clear.
Russia and Ukraine War
“I have no respect for the warmongers and the war profiteers and those who want the war to continue forever for their own purposes. This is, in my view, an evil thing,”
- There is no plan for success from the left for Ukraine
- The left has fake empathy, it’s all a lie for profits
- These poor kids into the meat grinder every day for nothing, with no end in sight, forever
- There must be peace. It's time for the slaughter of the young men and old men to stop — This senseless death machine
Tariffs relationship between the United States and Europe
“I hope that the United States and Europe can establish a very close partnership. We obviously are. There's an alliance already, but I'm hopeful that there can be a very close relationship with America and Europe.”
“I hope it is agreed that both Europe and the United States should, should move ideally in my view, to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America.”
Business and Regulatory Capture in Europe
“Europe is over regulated.
There are too many rules and regulations that make it very difficult to create a company and do too much to protect large companies at the expense of small to medium sized companies.”
- There needs to be a way to go from being a small company if you're making great products and services to be able to scale to ultimately become a big company
- You have effectively regulatory capture by the large corporations in Europe. They don't really want to reduce the regulatory burden and they, they like the fact that the regulations effectively protect their duopolies or monopolies in some cases
- I think radical deregulation is necessary in Europe and if that means leaving the EU, it means leaving the EU
