Trump on the Saudi nuclear deal:

If Saudi Arabia doesn't join the Abraham Accords, I am not going to do the deal.

This was always understood. Saudi Arabia knew.

Trump on Iran:

What are you supposed to do when you are winning a war? Stop fighting?

We are winning the war by a lot. We are talking to them right now, and they are willing to do things that they would have never done.

Reporter: You reposted Laura Loomer interviewing Zelensky. What do you make of growing MAGA support for the war in Ukraine?

Trump: They support what I support.

Trump:

I think LeBron—maybe he is a racist. Maybe he doesn't like Trump.

I only like people that like me.

Trump on Balogun's red card:

Gianni did a good job in making that call.

All I did was ask for a review. I thought that call was not a good call.

Reporter: You told Axios you are considering a "massive attack" on Iran. What is your tipping point?

Trump: We are talking to them. Maybe there won't be a tipping point, or maybe there will be.

Reporter: When will Iran cry uncle and actually come to the table?

Trump: Maybe they will cry uncle, or maybe they will just go into a cave and hide.

They have very deep caves where they can hide.

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis Spokesperson:

Saudi aggression now targets the port of Hodeidah.

They have opened the gates of divine hell upon themselves.

Trump on Iran:

Iran, shockingly, started shooting at everybody all over the Middle East.

If they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used that.

Trump:

We're gonna put a major tariff on Mexico because of the lettuce, and we're gonna put a big tariff on Canada because of the smoke.

Saudi-flagged oil/chemical tanker NCC MASA was hit while sailing in the Red Sea today, sustaining minor hull damage but continuing to its destination with crew safe.

It's the second Saudi-linked tanker hit in days after the Encelia strike, part of the Houthis' declared blockade on Saudi shipping.

Reporter: You say you are talking with Iran. Who is involved? Witkoff?

Trump: Sort of everybody. JD, Marco—a lot of people are talking. It's a big deal.

Trump:

China makes windmills, but they don't use windmills.

China uses coal, oil, gas, and nuclear.

Netanyahu:

One of our people met a Russian expert a few weeks ago. Do you know how he described us? He said, "Israel is a small global power." That's true.

We're not the size of China. We're not the size of the United States. We're not the size of Russia.

But he didn't call us a regional power—he called us a global power. In certain fields, that's true.

Zelensky on Tucker Carlson:

There are smart people, and there are not smart people.

I never watch not smart people.

So I don't watch Tucker Carlson's interview with anybody.

Elon Musk:

Money won't matter in 2036.

What do you want money for? You want money for goods and services: food, housing, transport, entertainment.

If robots and AI are providing more goods and services than any human could possibly consume, what do you need money for in that case?

Elon Musk:

Given that the Chinese AI companies are doing as well as they are with a relatively small amount of compute, it seems as though if they had a lot of compute, there's a good chance that they would be the leaders.

And at some point, they probably will have a lot of compute.

Q: In 10 years, how will people live after losing their jobs to AI?

Elon Musk: Universal high income.

Elon Musk on Russia:

We were never at any point selling Starlink to Russians.

They got Starlink units they ordered through Ukraine and then smuggled them into eastern Ukraine, where Russians are.

They were using them, in some cases, for attacks.

In order to address this, we worked with the Ukrainian government to create a whitelist of approved Starlink terminals.

This has some downsides because a whole bunch of innocent people who used Starlink for work or education now don't have Starlink.
