Full Q&A Session:
As you can see, I'm obviously here in person. This is me, not a clone of me. The reason I'm here in person is because Pennsylvania is so important to the future of the world. You show what matters by your actions, not your words. And my actions are I'm here, I'm in Pennsylvania, and I'm here for a very important reason, which, yeah. It's which is, I can't emphasize enough that Pennsylvania is, I think, the linchpin in this election. And this election, I think, is gonna decide the fate of America, along with the fate of America,
the fate of Western civilization. The two should be upheld. Told at times that these are like right-wing values. I'm like, are you insane? This is literally the fundamental values that made America what it is today. And anyone who's against those things is fundamentally anti-American. And the hell with them. (audience cheering) Yeah. So I actually lived in Pennsylvania for three years, by the way. I'm no stranger to the state.
I lived in this city for three years. I went to school here. I know the state. I'm not some just-arrived situation. I've been here, spent three years of my life here. It's a great state, love it. And yeah, it was also, the thing is, I was talking to friends of mine who, like when I went to Penn, it was very dangerous at the time. But everyone thought it would get better over, it would get better as the years went on.
And one of the issues was there were students who would get killed from time to time. And that was pretty bad, obviously. And I was talking to someone who recently graduated from Penn and they said, "Actually, it's worse." And I'm like, "It's worse? "What the hell is going on?" Yeah, yeah. The reality is that if someone is a violent criminal where they either are unable to control their violence or they like it, if you do not incarcerate them, they will hurt people. That's what it comes down to. So if you don't put hardened criminals in jail, they will kill people. That's what it comes down to.
And that's, unfortunately, the situation we have here is that the Democratic Party will not put hardened criminals in prison. And so they roam free and they prey upon you and your kids and your family and your friends. This is insane. How can we be the most powerful country in the world and it's not safe to walk around our cities? What the hell is going on? - George Soros! - Yeah, George Soros, honestly, misanthropic. For someone who has claims to be doing good, but actually he is not. He is tearing down the fabric of society.
Terrible. Yeah, but I think it's just unbelievable that we, like you should be able to feel safe walking around American cities. And it's not just Philadelphia has a challenge. New York has a challenge. Every major city in the US, like my mom lives in New York, for example. Three of her friends have been assaulted on the street this year. And it's getting worse. And now when she takes her dog for a walk, she has to stay inside of the building so that she can call for help if need be.
This is not the future we want. And if we get four more years of this, then we're gonna be fully Mad Max. And it's nice to watch a Mad Max movie, but we don't wanna be in the Mad Max movie, okay? So yeah. And then the whole border thing is just insane. I always wanna try to figure out what is the truth of the matter? What's really going on? With on the border situation, is it real or is it not real? So I went there in person and I just literally live streamed what I saw.
And our border looks like World War Z, okay? It's like zombie apocalypse. It's insane. This is, if you don't have a border, you don't have a country. Yeah. I mean, we're just saying we have to have real borders. And if you don't have real borders, you don't have real country. And obviously as someone who's an immigrant, I'm pro-immigrant. I just wanna make sure that people who come here are gonna be assets to society. And that they're gonna raise our standard of living. I think the sort of sports team analogy is a good one.
Let's say you're a pro sports team, you wanna win the championship, you want to win your team, obviously, 'cause they help the whole team win. So same is true for immigration. If we have this sort of equivalent of Kobe Bryant or Steph Curry or LeBron or something like that, they wanna join the team. Absolutely, of course. They'll, do you like winning? Yeah, okay. But if they can't play basketball, they shouldn't be joining. That's real important.
And yeah, and then something that doesn't get a lot of attention is the fact that the federal government is spending America into bankruptcy. The, which is crazy. And that's really what leads to inflation is that when the government spends more than it brings in, that's what causes inflation. Yeah, so it's just a pernicious tax. So there has to be, we have to radically reduce the amount of government spending so that we don't rack up a debt that is impossible to repay and drive the country to bankruptcy. (audience applauding) I mean, just basic stuff, really. They shouldn't be controversial topics.
Common sense, exactly. And are you seeing all these attacks on freedom of speech? And they're like attacking me for freedom. Yo, that's the first amendment, like literally the first one. It was a, tells me it's a high priority. And the reason they had the first amendment was because the countries people came from, if you spoke your mind, you'd be imprisoned or killed. That's why you have it. That's really important. And then the right to bear arms is also really important.
That's there to protect. The second amendment is there to protect the first amendment. As soon as the government can disarm the people, they can do anything they want. We've seen this in one country after another. They take the guns away from the people, then they do fake elections, and then the people try to protest and they just get shot. That's what happened in Venezuela recently. That a fake election, Maduro lost, like massively lost, 70% loss. And he's like, "Oh no, I won." (laughing) And everyone's like, "Oh, you didn't win."
There were big protests in the street. But the thing is that Chavez, when he came into power, took away everyone's guns. So now you're facing soldiers with assault rifles, where you're gonna throw some sticks at them or something? Use finger guns? It doesn't work. So Maduro, even though he lost the election, he's still in power. And that's the kind of risk that we face. But we gotta do everything possible to protect the Constitution. And I think this is, yeah.
So for all those reasons, that's why after thinking about it hard, it was very clear to me that Donald Trump has to win this election. It really does. I think the most important thing that you can do, and what I'm asking everyone to do, is make sure that you're registered to vote, that you, and then vote early. And then talk to your friends and family and everyone you know to make sure that they're registered to vote, 'cause Monday is the deadline for voting registration. And honestly, this is, if there's ever a time to be a pest with your friends and family, this is the time.
Just, yeah. This is the time. Everyone you know, everyone you meet, everyone you run into, register them to vote, and then get them to vote immediately. And we only have until Monday night to register to vote. The next, basically, three days are essential. And I think we see this election decided in Pennsylvania by, it could be 10,000 votes, it could be 1,000 votes, it could be 10 votes. It could be some very tiny number. So every incremental person is a huge difference.
I haven't been politically active before. I'm politically active now because I think the future of America and the future of civilization is at stake. - Yeah, please go all out registering people. We have three days, let's go. Anything you can possibly do. With that, I'm happy to answer questions or take comments from the audience. Yeah, thank you. - Does this mic work? - We'll do one question per person, okay? - Yeah, I have a mic.
- Yeah. - First of all, welcome to Ridley Township. - Thank you. - Delaware County. And welcome to Ridley School District and our beautiful high school. Because you made this your first stop, we'd love to make you an honorary Ridley Raider. - Thank you. (audience cheering) - Sports is big in Ridley, big in Delaware County. This is must, 67 counties in Pennsylvania. We gotta turn every one of them red.
- Great, sounds good, thank you. - Thank you very much. - What can all of us here, everybody in this auditorium, everybody watching the live stream, what can we do now to make sure we get Donald Trump across the finish line in Pennsylvania and everywhere else in this country? - Yeah, it's fundamentally for the next three days, just everyone needs to focus on registering, friends, family, acquaintances, everyone you know. 'Cause if you're not registered by Monday, that's why I'm being repetitive about this and really emphasizing this,
anyone not registered by Monday evening or if they're registered incorrectly, their vote won't count. They won't be able to vote. We got three days, it's all about registration every single day and like I said, this election could be decided by a handful of people. It could just be that a little bit of extra effort on voter registration decides the entire future of civilization. So that's why I'm saying, man, if there's ever a weekend to spend going hog wild on registration, this is it. Yeah, Qua. - Thank you so much for being here. It means so much and I think it's really in line with your character as I've come to know you from listening to you speak in interviews.
In addition to voting for Donald Trump, what can the average citizen do to help train AI to be truth-seeking? - Well, I think definitely publicly pushing to ensure that AI is truth-seeking and is not politically correct or which means factually incorrect. That's a big deal. You can't just speak out on social media and certainly complain loud when other companies attempt to essentially program their AI with a dystopian San Francisco Berkeley philosophy. And if you wanna know where that philosophy leads, just walk around the streets of San Francisco. But be careful because do not get killed by a violent drug zombie because they're all over this downtown SF. It's insane.
So we can see where does that philosophy lead. And unfortunately, I think a lot of the AI is already programmed, at least implicitly, with that misanthropic, dystopian philosophy, yeah. - Right here on your-- - Sorry, with the lights in my eyes and stuff, it's hard to see. - Hi, my name is Jasmine. I'm originally from Malaysia and I've been here 20 years. I came here legally. I see a lot of immigration and a lot of immigrants who came here legally.
Trump and they want a strong economy. Oh, by the way, I came here because my daughter goes to school here. She told me to come over. I used to be really active in promoting Trump campaign four years ago and I got burned out and I'm so frustrated. And it's all because of the cheating. So what are we going to do with that? - There is, I think, some amount of cheating that takes place. It's hard because when you have mail-in ballots and no sort of proof of citizenship, it becomes almost impossible to prove cheating is the issue. So a lot of people in the Dems say, "No cheating."
And I'm like, "You've made it impossible "to actually prove that there's cheating." But statistically, there's some very strange things that happen that are statistically incredibly unlikely. There's always this question of, say, the Dominion voting machines. It is weird that the, I think they're used in Philadelphia and in Maricopa County, but not in a lot of other places. Doesn't seem like a coincidence. So I think that is, you know. (audio cuts out) It's too easy to add just one line, paper ballots. So in-person voting, yeah, with the, which by the way, every country has.
I mean, almost every country that has democratic elections requires in-person voting with voter ID. This is weird, it's super weird to not have that. I think that's the only way to effectively address fraud. Given that we are where we are today, I think we just need a very big margin of victory. Yeah, if the margin of victory is big enough, then it, as they say, it's gotta beat the cheat. Yeah, so that's it. - First off, you're my hero and I love your sneakers.
- Thank you. - If you do choose to be the head of the Department of Government Efficiency. - Yeah, DOGE. - Yep, what do you think about we stop giving money to other countries such as Israel, Ukraine, and we stop funding forever wars, most likely it's going to the deep state anyway. - Yeah, I think in general, the amount of waste that happens with the federal government is really staggering. It's a staggering amount of waste of taxpayer money. And if we're, if for any given expenditure, we have to say, well, what does this do
for the citizens of America? Like, how is this good for the people of America? That's, it's their money. For some weird reason, a lot of people in the sort of state or whatever the politicians, they seem to forget that the money being spent is your money. And if it's not being spent in a way that is beneficial to the American people, it's a misuse of the funds. So yeah. And there's a lot of money that's being spent where sort of illegals are getting more benefits than citizens. What the heck is that?
That doesn't make any sense. Yeah. - So as we bring government spending and look inward to our country, I am a government employee. I care about innovation and efficiency. With your vision for a department of government efficiency, what can we do? How can we support you? And also how can we spotlight the needs of people in North Carolina? The body count is abnormally underreported. What can we do to press on that and to support people within our country?
- Sure. I do think that government efficiency is not something about reducing the size of government, but making sure that there are incentives for excellent work. And so if somebody's, whatever you incent will happen. So if you have incentives for excellent work, by the same token, if someone's not doing excellent work, they're exited, just like normal. It's really what happens in a properly functioning company is that you reward, or think of a sports team. The players that are doing well, they get rewarded, and the players that are not doing well, they exit the team.
And that should just be how it works. And I think that'll have a profound effect on the effectiveness of government. 'Cause whatever you incent will happen. So if the incentives are aligned with saving people in North Carolina, then that's what'll happen. If you have a failed response to the disasters, to the hurricane disasters, and no one even gets fired, well, okay, what do you expect? No one's gonna take action. If there's a track record of failure, you have to exit the people who failed.
Otherwise, people will look around, I guess I don't need to do anything, 'cause nothing bad happens to you, even if you do a terrible job and people die, which is insane. (audience applauding) (audience applauding) - Hey, Ron. Can you tell us about your trip to Israel? - My moving trip. Definitely one of the toughest regions to, like how do you, what set of actions result in the greater good in Israel? And obviously, you obviously cannot have people who, if they wanna slaughter everyone in Israel, you gotta stop that.
There's no way. Yeah, those people either need to be killed or incarcerated, or they will simply try to kill more Israelis. This is what it amounts to, obviously. And they wanna kill Americans too, by the way. Generally, Israel is referred to as the little Satan and we are the big Satan. That's what the Ayatollah calls us. So I think a lot of what's happening there is people are being taught to hate in Gaza from when they're children, they're taught to hate. And that's really the thing that needs to stop for there to be long-term peace, hopefully, is that you just cannot have the kids be taught to hate from the moment they can talk.
That's fundamental. So I think there's a three-step process there, which is, you've mentioned one has to do the difficult thing, which is to-- - Eliminate Hamas. - Yes, eliminate Hamas, exactly. And then, I think also, going forward, anyone who's teaching hatred in Gaza or elsewhere, they need to stop doing that. That can't be acceptable. - And we have to stop that. - And we have to stop, yeah, kids being taught to hate America in America. So-- (audio cuts out) Prosperity in Gaza.
So this is very difficult. It's like, how do you, after terrible things have been done, you then have to bring prosperity to Gaza. And that's the thing that will ensure, provided kids are not taught to hate and there's long-term prosperity, I think there will be peace in Gaza. And we see an example of that after World War II, where with Germany and Japan, they were defeated, they obviously did terrible things, but changed the education system. And unlike World War I, we helped rebuild Japan and Germany.
The Marshall Plan. Instead of exacting vengeance, America insisted, "We're gonna help rebuild Germany. "We're gonna help rebuild Japan." And now they're our allies. And there's been no war ever since. (audience applauds) - Welcome to Delaware County. And I wanna say congratulations on the successful re-docking of your-- (audience applauds) - Thank you. (audience applauds) - Thank you. (audience applauds) - I mean, honestly, it was a great week. We had the Tesla sort of cool autonomous car and robot stuff, which I think is gonna be really great.
You know, I think, who wouldn't want their own personal C3PO R2D2? (audience laughs) It'd be awesome, you know? So I think that we're gonna build some awesome, helpful robots and autonomous cars. And then, I mean, this is a good day. Faye, Faye, just smiling upon us here. Thank you. We caught the rocket, which is just totally nuts. (audience applauds) You see that rocket booster? It's the largest, heaviest flying object ever made. And it just got caught by Mechazilla arms.
Karate Kid, but bigger. I catch him in the fly with the chopstick. - So my question is, do you think there is a shadow government behind the Biden-Harris administration? - It's, we want it this way. It's not Biden. We know that for a fact. Okay. (audience applauds) The dude's like barely got two functional neurons. And he just seems to be at the beach a lot. And he's obviously not in charge.
So when the polls started going low on Biden, he was saying, "Oh, he's staying in the race, "he's staying in the race." But then I guess the real power is that he told them he's not. - So who is it that's behind him? We know Obama, okay? But Obama-- - He's the only one. - I'm just as curious as you are. It is, as far as I can determine, there isn't any one sort of puppet master. It's more like there's a thousand or a lot. So I'd like to talk to them to understand more about,
listen, what are your goals, puppet masters? I'm just curious. I mean, maybe, I agree with some of them. It's possible. It's just obvious that Biden's not in charge. It's obvious that Kamala's not in charge. Kamala's, they just replaced the Biden puppet with the Kamala puppet, very obviously. And so you can tell, if the teleprompter stops working, then the puppet stops. And it's like, "Oh, the puppet just starts looping "'cause the teleprompter broke."
I don't have a teleprompter. I can just talk like a normal human. Yeah, I think it's not, from what I can tell, it's not one puppet master, it's many. But it'll be interesting to see the crossover between the Epstein client list and Kamala's puppet masters. I bet there's a lot of names that appear in both lists. Yeah, Diddy too. Diddy did it. - Elon, my name is Gregory Stenstrom. I'm from here, Delaware, Conn. Two people who know me. In my hands, you asked earlier, you'd like to go to a hand count.
We have three federal suits right now. One, because we know for a fact, and we have proof that the election code and the machines in Dominion and Harland Pacific are fraudulent here, right here in Delaware County. Jonathan Marks admitted this in court last week. - Wow, he did? - In court, on a transcript. - I didn't read about that. - Well, of course you didn't. - For some reason, the-- - How many people here know me? - But the legacy media didn't forgot to report about that one.
- How many people here know me? - I usually keep up with these things and I did not know that. - We're also co-defendants, Leah Hoopes and myself, also from Delaware County, we're co-defendants with President Trump and Rudy Giuliani in a defamation suit, where we proved over 952 days that there was massive election fraud in 2020. We proved that in court, it's a matter of public record. We also have the proof that the election machines that are currently being used are fraudulent. We have videos right now that I can show you of ballot boxes being stuffed here in Delaware County, Montgomery County, Chester County, and across the state. We have that video.
We have submitted this to the federal-- A SCOTUS case right here, and the SCOTUS case is just simple. It asks the DOJ to rescind their policy not to investigate election fraud. - Which seems crazy. - We are being blocked-- - This DOJ is doing a great, I don't know what, just take the J out of the name. Department of Injustice. - What I'd like you to do, Elon, is I don't want to take too much time, and I know this is a shock, but we have a book here, "Parallel Election." I have a Supreme Court case, and I have the federal suits here.
We've called your people, we've called the people who are supposed to be helping. We have hundreds of people right now, ready. They're out taking videos, they're training poll workers, and we are not getting support from many of the people in the first front rows here. And their pictures, if you want to know who they are, are in this book. (audience cheering) - What I recommend is to post content on the X platform, and then people can argue and say it's right or wrong, or if you have video or evidence, then post them publicly on social media, and then people can judge for themselves exactly. Okay, great, excellent, thank you.
But anyway, let's not get contentious. I think teamwork makes the dream work here. Whatever the situation, I don't want to dissuade anyone from voting. It's very important to vote. Any actions with respect to voting machines or whatnot, we simply want to put them under intense scrutiny, but nonetheless, everyone needs to vote, and like I said, if you leave here with one thing, the goal is to register as many people as possible to vote. That is the goal, and we only have until Monday night.
That is the goal. One mission, bam. - Being here, first, I want to thank you as somebody with a spinal cord. Beat it because not many people are. I won't take up the time, but 18,000 people a year are injured, so thank you. - Absolutely, and I'm hopeful that Neuralink can do a lot, actually, initially providing the ability for anyone who's lost the brain-body connection to be able to interface with their phone and computer faster than a human with working hands, which is, I think, really cool. And then, but down the road,
I think it'll be possible to restore a whole body functionality. If you have a Neuralink in the motor cortex that then shunts past where the neurons are damaged in the spine, I'm confident that long-term, you can actually restore people's ability to walk and use their hands. - Well, I would love, I appreciate it. I would love to work with you on getting support around here, but-- - Yeah, in fact, well, one of the things, and to be fair, the FDA has been, within the context of their current rules, has been actually quite supportive. They've given us Express Lane, 'cause they've seen the quality of the work and the sophistication of the technology.
They have given us a fast-track approval, but still, our progress is limited by regulatory issues, and that's the same thing that's happening with SpaceX. SpaceX can build a giant rocket faster than the license can be processed by the government, which is insane. I should mention, like, one of the most fundamental things about me supporting the biggest showstopper of all, for me, in terms of why I feel Donald Trump must win is that we have to have sensible regulations. We have so many regulatory, last time I checked, we have 428 regulatory, 428 agencies.
So there's more than an agency a year has been created since America was a country. Like, we've got almost twice as many agencies as years that America's been a country, which means an agency has been created, sometimes two new agencies per year created, which is just madness. So America is being smothered by overregulation. I call it slow strangulation by overregulation. That's the, yeah. - I would like to ask about natural gas and lithium. That's, you know what, Pennsylvania's rich of natural resources and fracking gas and lithium,
which could benefit not only our state, but our entire country. However, many residents, and I have to be honest, along 350 miles of Pennsylvania, had real challenges like eminent domain and the destruction of water sources, such as what happened with the Mariners Pipeline. How can we ensure that while utilizing these resources, we work closely with local governments and residents without the federal government overreaching and forcing land from homeowners? Effective communication with citizens and their involvement in these decisions is crucial. What role do you see for technology or private industry in making sure that this process is transparent and fair? Because believe you me, lots of people were forced with eminent domain and aquifers poisoned all across Pennsylvania,
including our veterans. And this has been a real problem since 2016. So we wanna support our workers and use our gas. And I want it, but we need to be careful of what we're taking from people who've lived here, families for centuries. - Certainly, I believe in sensible regulation, but what I see happening is that there are all sorts of, there's a mountain of rules that actually don't benefit people. And then there's missing rules that do benefit people. So it's this bizarre Kafka nightmare of regulations where ultimately the good of the people is not served.
And we get regulatory delays for things that are fake. Meanwhile, bad things are allowed to happen simply because someone filled out the paper book and gamed the system. So that's what I mean. It's when I say like Department of Governance is in addressing any issue which is not in the interest of the people. And we do need to, at times, fight against what large corporations are pushing for, 'cause some of them are very short term and some large corporations do bad things. And corporations are like people. Like some people are good peoples. Some corporations are good, some are meddling,
and sometimes some corporations are bad. And it's just like people is the way to think of corporations. So we've gotta stop the corporations that wanna do bad things, make sure they're doing things that are in the interest of the people. And then corporations that wanna do good things, they shouldn't be slowed down by smothering regulation. - And we all need to be responsible. - Yeah, absolutely. And I think these things should be done very much in the interest of the people. - Thank you.
(audience applauding) - Hey, Elon, how are you? I'm Brad. These are two tough acts to follow here, but my question's a little more simple. What are some of the first courses of action you plan to take as the head of government efficiency if Trump gets elected? And do you have any areas of concern in particular? - Yeah, well, that's a good question. I definitely focus right now is making sure that Trump wins the election. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. And I think if Trump loses, we're gonna see our cities are gonna get less safe, the borders are obviously gonna be wide open,
we're gonna see government spending go ballistic, it's inflation going nuts, it's gonna be just bad on every level. Fundamentally, the current trend of strangulation by overregulation is not turned around. We will never get to Mars. It just will be illegal. And then we'll be a one-planet civilization. There won't be a space-faring civilization, and stuff will never be real. And we want stuff to be real. - Yeah.
- Now, I've had quite a bit of interaction with the government, because SpaceX is the biggest NASA contractor, actually. There's a lot of work for NASA. And I'm a big fan of the agency, by the way. But there are expenditures that don't make a lot of sense, that are wasteful. And we need to put a stop to that. Honestly, there's so much government waste that's going on that I would call it a target-rich environment. It's hard, in every direction, there's just mad waste. And I think simply, if people simply know
that if they waste a ton of taxpayer money, they're gonna get fired, that will immediately improve the situation. Immediately. Yeah, it's just literally, and I think, but actually, it's gonna be both carrot and stick. If a government official is very effective in spending your money, 'cause taxpayer money is your money, if they're effective in spending your money, they should be promoted, they should be rewarded. And if they waste your money, or do something that's basically corruption, they should be fired.
Obviously. They have a duty to spend your money well. Yeah. - Hey, Elon. As a veteran who was deployed because of a lie that was told 21 years ago. - A lot of lies, man. This is a lot of lies. - With harassment laws running on a campaign to make disinformation illegal, what would you say to-- - Yeah, disinformation just means information they don't like. - So what would you say-- (audience applauding) What would you say to an administration and a candidacy that is spreading lies or disinformation about the troops that are currently in combat, my friends? - Yeah, can you believe that was said?
- Steve Adubato's day, and 100 minus laptop presence decline and so on. - Yeah. During the Trump-Kamala debate, she said there was no active duty soldiers out there. I'm like, I know a whole bunch of them. What are you talking about? That's a shameful, terrible lie. Shit, and she wasn't even fact-checked. And I'm like, are you kidding? Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, and I just like to say, for the people, for the Americans out there who are serving in dangerous places right now, unlike what Kamala said, thank you for your service to the country. (audience applauding) - For stepping up to help America when you don't have to. You could be on an island right now. - Yeah. I could be-- - He doesn't seem timid. - Yeah, he does not seem timid. - Yeah, I have a lot of jobs. No, it's true. There are a lot of people I know who are on a yacht,
sipping a Mai Tai, whatever, on an island. There's a thing I could be doing. I can't if I think the future of the nation is at stake, which I do. (audience applauding) - You know Alberto Congauala? He's the system manager for Europa Clipper. - Oh, that's a cool mission, by the way. - Which you sent into space on Monday. - Yeah, yeah. - Thank you very much. - Absolutely, in fact, that was a mission where I talked to SpaceX. That mission's important, but this mission's excellent.
Yeah, 'cause I think like you, like I think most people, I want a future where you look forward to it and you're excited about what's gonna happen, that we're gonna learn new things, that it's gonna be better than the past, and a future where we're a space-faring civilization, and we're out there among the stars, where Star Trek is real. That's exciting. Can't just be about solving one problem after another. There have to be things that inspire. (audience applauding) That's a hard one to build, but at some point we should build a warp drive.
But even without the warp drive, the Starship, the rocket made by SpaceX, is capable of building a city on Mars and a city on the Moon. That's what it's designed to do, but we're being massively slowed down by regulatory molasses. And I'll tell you a crazy thing. We got fined $140,000 by the EPA for dumping fresh water on the ground, drinking water. It's crazy. I'll just give you an example of just how crazy it is. And we're like, we're using water to cool the launch pad during launch.
We're gonna cool the launch pad so it doesn't overheat. And in an excess of caution, we actually brought in drinking water, so clean, super clean water. And the FAA says, "No, you have to pay a $140,000 fine." And we're like, but we let Starbase is in a tropical thunderstorm area. Sky water falls all the time. That is the same as the sky. So we didn't actually, there's no harm to anything. And they said, yeah, we didn't have a pump for fresh water. Are you, what?
It's just totally crazy stuff like that. They said, if we don't pay the fine, they're not gonna process any of our future applications. So they're like, this is the kind of crazy stuff we're dealing with, yeah. - Hi, Yilong. My name is Sarah. I'm from Philadelphia. I have a whole team here. First, I'm really excited about your real recapping of the rockets and your Hyperloop program.
We actually, at this critical moment, have a proposal to turn the blue to red quickly. I would like to sincerely like to accept our protocol in the proposal. And we want to have some further discussion with you. And really thank for putting everything you have, risking everything you have to support President Trump to take our country back. - Well, thank you. Sure, thanks. Hey, all right. - Yeah, we shake the hand.
Last week, I also fly to the Austin to find you. So glad you are here. I'm used to be having a busy day. - Great, all right, sounds good. All right, yeah. I'll take a few more questions and then wrap it up. But yeah, so go ahead. - Elon, hi, my name's Kevin and I grew up right here right in Springfield close by. And I want to thank you for all you've given up. You were the media darling and you've sacrificed everything for freedom right now.
I want to thank you for my family and everything. I also want to thank you. I want to thank you for all the lives that have been saved with your full self-driving and all the future lives will be saved with that. That is one of the bravest things you've put through. I use that every day. - You must have all given many lives and many serious injuries and also give people their time back so they can just be in their car and do whatever they want and watch movies or do great. - Absolutely great. My question for you is, and this is a very confusing thing in Pennsylvania. Do you think that we should, as a voter, vote in person, wait until voting day to vote in person
or do a mail-in ballot right now? - I think you should vote immediately right now, yes. - Can you explain real quick why? - Should you have a pen? I don't know if somebody has a pen or something. Nice to meet you. All right, yeah, where were we? Oh yes, vote, yes. Register and vote early. And yeah, I would say vote immediately.
Yeah, you're welcome. All right, I'll take one more question and then we'll call it a wrap. - Elon, this is Matt from EastWest IT Services here. I'm the chairman for the Pennsylvania Chinese Coalition. We have more than 40 Chinese groups and also different kinds of association. And I'm from Philadelphia. We are a team and I want to know, could you give us like a Pennsylvania swing state, especially Philadelphia, there's a lot of Democrats. Could you give us three top reasons why people should vote for Donald Trump? - Sure, well, the reasons that resonate
are gonna be different depending on who you're talking to. But I think the ones that resonate, for me at least, are we want safer cities, we want a secure border, we want sensible government spending, we want support of the constitution and the freedom of speech, right to bear arms. And that's what Donald Trump is gonna do. (audience applauding) The other thing I think is maybe a little bit of a joke, the other thing I think is maybe a concern is that I think if there's four more years of the puppet regime, they're actually gonna legalize so many illegals in the swing states that there won't be swing states anymore. And this will be the last election in that case.
And we'll be a permanent one party state like California. Here in California, which is mind blowing, they passed a law banning voter ID for any election in California whatsoever. Now they're gonna try to do that nationwide. In fact, if they can, they will do it nationwide. If the Dems win, they'll ban voter ID nationwide. So that's why I think if Trump doesn't win, this is the last election. Yeah, thank you.
