Tech Legend Gives the Real Odds of Elon Musk Successfully Cutting Gov’t | Joe Lonsdale

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Joe Lonsdale, a prominent entrepreneur and venture capitalist, about co-founding Palantir Technologies, Addepar, and OpenGov; why he thinks Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will be successful with their plans for the DOGE; why government spending has gotten so wasteful; how Alex Karp became the CEO of Palantir; his insights into the evolution of the tech industry; why silicon valley got so woke; the rise of "tech bros”; the increasing political engagement among tech leaders; the role of technology in solving complex problems, particularly in government and defense; the challenges and opportunities in education; how institutions like the University of Austin that foster critical thinking and innovation are the future; the future of AI; the need for regulatory reform; the potential for significant growth and productivity improvements in the coming years; and much more.

Honored to be on the show, Dave. Thanks again.

Best video I’ve ever watched….so impressed with Lonsdale and his breadth of ideas/knowledge. As a 78 year old midwestern conservative, this is the best I’ve felt about our country’s future with Peter L., Elon, Vivek and others bringing their intelligence and skills to save our future. Thank you Dave for bringing this quality content to YouTube. Don

[danescarborough]

Dave, this may be the best podcast you’ve done yet!! Thank you much!

51:15 I’m 42, years old and I’ve NEVER been so excited and so optimistic about the future of our country. We could fix SO many problems in our own country with cuts to stupid projects and stupid expenses and I think we’re going to actually see and financially feel the impacts of these new leaders we have.

[LLLMYOB]

what an absolutely refreshing I have felt starved for common sense and patriotism

Please help make CA prosperous and safe again!

I am going to be 67 Dec 28, 2024. I love to work. I will never stop working. I currently work in Education at Palomar College in Ca. I come from Manufacturing and am a statician and efficiency expert. I would LOVE to work with DOGE on the ENORMOUS waste of money in Education. I have reported my employer twice to the State Joint Legislative Audit Committee for misappropriation and the mismanagement of the taxpayers money. So far Admin only gets a slap on the hand and NO ONE is held accountable. I am a loyal follower of Dave and highly appreciate his steady growth of values and moral stance. Thank you Dave!

I’m from Europe and I didn’t know your show and even less of your latest guests. I’d wish Europe would be so advanced in thinking and progressiveness. America the last half year gives me lots of hope by enabling a world that I envision as being good. And man you have smart inspiring people out there, the ones of which I’m seeing terrible lack of in Europe. Thank you in so many ways. Very interesting and educational.

Finally hearing someone talking about the source of the problems. We have to remove marxism and wokeness from our schools. That is where the long game is being played.

[Heathaze]

Great content. Please more of this Dave. Less The View.

[CandycaneBeyond]

These are the kind of things that real reporters should be reporting on. Why aren't they?

[cuttheknot]

There needs to be a LIVE APP/Website that chronicles the Political Actions of each Congress Member and Senator with 100% accuracy. Sunlight/Transparency and ACCESS is what they fear the most

[MichaelBesson]

This is one of the greatest podcast I’ve ever seen. Finally there’s somebody this sharp at 42 years old, working in Silicon Valley, virtually untouched by the woke virus, positioned perfectly to help save America. Frankly, I’m blown away with hope in this generation for the first time in a long time…

[JillWare-wbhj]

"The idea's of Liberty and why our society works" 🙏 Thank you for your thoughtful and well articulated words🙏
What A Great Guest🙏

[CarolaPC]

Unbelievable interview. The gap between this guy and the rest of us is enormous, but not insurmountable if we use just three words: work, dedication, and passion, lots of passion… because what’s coming still deoends on us. Thank

[JimmysLine]

Our country is about to get a lot better!

[YvetteCarmen]

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

[mauida]

Great introduction to someone that I wasn’t aware of ! This is why I watch daily, thank you 🙏

[guyturner]

You did it again, Dave! Didn’t know who you were before now, Joe, I am sure glad I watched this. I was optimistic about the future before I saw you, but now my amp goes to 11. I hope to see much more of you!

[luciwilloughby]

Amazing podcast guys! Wonderful getting to know Joe Lonsdale, great mind, great ideas. Go forth and do good things, please Joe. We need you both to help guide our future.

[marieneu]

Absolutely wonderful interview. I learned SO much. We need more extremely intelligent people to assist and guide and mentor these lifetime politicians that get nothing done and screw the taxpayers.
