00:00You might think that you've seen Pathetic before.

00:03I can assure you that not until you see what Elon Musk just posted about Bernie Sanders

00:07and AOC have you truly experienced Pathetic.

00:10So to set the stage, Bernie and AOC have been drawing record crowds on their Stop Oligarchy

00:14tour.

00:15Take a look at this video from their latest rally in Denver where a staggering 34,000

00:19people showed up.

00:20In fact, Bernie is drawing bigger crowds now than when he ran for president and bigger

00:24crowds than Trump drew when he held rallies in the same venues.

00:28And given the fact that these rallies have focused on stopping oligarchy, as the name

00:31of the tour aptly suggests, it would lend itself to reason that one person who would

00:36find this especially insulting would be the Republican Party's darling oligarch himself,

00:41Elon Musk.

00:42Now comes the fun part.

00:43Elon is so desperate to try and discredit this grassroots movement that this is the

00:48tweet he decided to throw his lot in with and amplify.

00:51That massive Bernie Sanders and AOC rally in Denver?

00:54Turns out it wasn't as grassroots as advertised.

00:56Despite claims of 34,000 attendees, GPS data analysis reveals that the real number was

01:01closer to 20,000, still big, but not record-breaking.

01:05More revealing?

01:06A whopping 84% of those devices had shown up at 9 or more other protests, including

01:11Antifa, BLM events, pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian demonstrations and Kamala Harris campaign

01:17stops.

01:18Over 30% had attended 20 or more.

01:21Data analysts say the crowd was anything but organic.

01:24The majority were tied to activist networks like Disruption Project, Indivisible, Democratic

01:28Socialists of America, Rise and Resist, and Troublemakers, all reportedly funded by Act

01:32Blue and some receiving backing via USAID.

01:36Optics over authenticity.

01:37The playbook hasn't changed, just the targets.

01:40Source, Zero Hedge, Tony Saruga.

01:43And Elon quote tweeted this and wrote, the Dems just move around the same group of paid

01:48protesters.

01:49Okay, how do I say this delicately?

01:52Do you know how fucking stupid you have to be to believe a single word of that tweet?

02:00First of all, who's analyzing this GPS data from devices?

02:04Does some random right-winger have access to all of Verizon and AT&T and T-Mobile and

02:09every other cell carrier's data?

02:12And did they also compile all of this data from previous events?

02:15And do they really think that there are not enough people in somewhere like Denver, Colorado

02:20to show up for Bernie Sanders and AOC?

02:22I mean, my god, the mental gymnastics here would be impressive if they weren't so, so

02:28stupid.

02:29Also, I almost missed that it's apparently also funded by USAID, because on this list

02:34of buzzwords, why not just include USAID?

02:38And apparently Doge forgot to release that as part of their autopsy.

02:42Apparently there are millions of dollars still available, even post-Doge, for Democrats to

02:47whisk tens of thousands of paid protesters across the entire United States even after

02:52they took an axe to the agency.

02:54Please, someone, make it make sense.

02:57But truly, the dumbest part has got to be Elon Musk agreeing with all of this.

03:02This guy is so desperate to explain away a movement against him that he's literally

03:06trying to make paid protesters being whisked across the United States happen.

03:12If Musk had one scintilla of evidence that these crowds are just throngs of act blue

03:16and USAID funded paid protesters that are going from one rally to the next, I will quit

03:22politics today and join a monastery in Indonesia.

03:25Honestly, let me know because that is how certain I am that Elon Musk and his sources

03:31are full of shit.

03:32The reality is that Musk's desperate flailing is a testament to the fact that he has no

03:36leg to stand on here.

03:38He is an aggressively unpopular billionaire whose sole focus is dismantling agencies that

03:43were investigating him and eliminating programs that Americans rely on to survive, like Medicaid

03:48and food stamps and cancer research and education funding and jobs for veterans and so much

03:53more.

03:54Musk doesn't care about regular people because he is the farthest thing from a regular person.

03:59His priority, as it always has been, is consolidating more wealth for himself.

04:03He does not care about you.

04:05He cares about him, his power, his influence, his companies, and his wallet.

04:10That's all.

04:11And to that end, here's Bernie and AOC making the exact points that Musk is currently trying

04:15to undermine.

04:16Now I don't care if you're a conservative Republican or a progressive.

04:23Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man,

04:31Musk, can put $270 million to get Trump elected, and then his reward is that he becomes the

04:45most powerful person in government?

04:50That is not democracy.

04:53That is oligarchy.

04:55But it's not just Republicans.

04:58You've got billionaire Democrats who are telling candidates, don't stand up for the

05:03working class.

05:07So we've got a corrupt campaign finance system.

05:12We've got to get rid of this terrible Citizens United Supreme Court decision.

05:20Because Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security were promises that we as a people have made

05:28to each other about the kind of country we are and the kind of society we want to live

05:34in.

05:35And I don't know about you, Arizona, but I want to live in an America that guarantees

05:41health care to every person.

05:47I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person.

05:54I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be

06:00afraid of getting put on a list or deported.

06:06But these promises that we've made, they are not promises from politicians to the people,

06:13or they're not charity from billionaires to everyday Americans.

06:17They are promises we have made to each other, neighbor to neighbor, friend to friend, teacher

06:26to student, family member to family member.

06:31That we want to live in a society that is not depraved, not every person for themselves,

06:37but all of us standing together.

06:40This is the promise that we make to each other as Americans.

06:46And so it would make sense that this is the type of enthusiasm that Musk is trying to

06:50undermine.

06:51Because their message, a message that's clearly resonating and drawing more people in March

06:55of an off year than you would even see in October of an election year, is that exactly

06:59what Musk is doing right now is what is most unpopular in this country.

07:03He wants to be the shadow president.

07:05He wants to act with impunity.

07:07He wants to upend the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans, all with zero accountability.

07:11But he's forgetting that, at least for now, this is still a democracy.

07:15And he's about to face the only force that truly has the power to curb his own, and that

07:19is the American electorate.

07:21His efforts to pretend that it's not real are only going to awaken people even more.

07:36But second, the reality is that we're now in a political environment where this administration

07:40can lean on any of the social media platforms to suppress certain voices if they don't like

07:44critical coverage.

07:46That means my longevity here is in the hands of a few tech billionaires who are already

07:50making it clear that they're willing to cater to this White House.
