I only knew of Sam Hyde from some of his antics.

This is worth a watch and for the most part, absent the off-color humor and Gen Z jargon that most probably don't understand, is perhaps the most intelligent punditry I've seen.

Ramaswamy was a transparent flip-flopper and was such a smooth talker that he got very comfortable speaking off the cuff about topics he didn't really understand. He isn't going to talk his way out of this one and I'm glad. He's a scammer that bought a failing drug company and then dumped it after a doomed IPO (which he hyped every way he could using his connections).

I don't think Musk has a handler and I don't think he needs one to serve the .1%. His commitment to freedom exists in an artificial bubble. People will say he spent 44 billion for our freedom, but anybody that understands money understand that most of the billions these people have locked away are worthless in fiat terms. They can't ever be extracted because they're holding up the system. All those billions are just leverage for power and influence. In the case of X, it's probably the only reason he hasn't faced much worse treatment by the governments he's upset. He got the support of an abused segment of the population with three decades of grievances and it was to his advantage. He only had to spend money that wasn't real to begin with.

Sam Hyde's message to Elon

The populist voters should abandon those that don't serve the interests of the public as quickly and without remorse as they themselves have been abandoned by the political class.
