Summary

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Eric Weinstein about the potential rise of Generation X in leadership roles; how influential figures like Elon Musk could signal Gen X's long-awaited moment; why he remains skeptical about his generation's ability to seize this opportunity; the dangers of aligning with political cults of personality around Donald Trump and Elon Musk; his critique of both the left and right for tolerating extremism; his cautious optimism about the high risks and rewards of today's political and technological landscape; and much more. #RubinReport #EricWeinstein #MAGA #Trump #ElonMusk #extremism #GenX #ARC #daverubin ----------------------------------------------- Reserve your 1st edition copy of our new book, The Best of Our Inheritance.

I'm very free about this. I want to help my country. And I don't want to bend the knee and I

0:35.3

don't want to kiss the ring. I want Americans to walk erect. And I don't want cults of personality. I don't want to genuflect every time Elon's name gets mentioned, nor do I want to be asked, are you on the Trump train? Yes or no? Because quite honestly, I was on this train a long time before Trump ever boarded. And this idea that a bunch of, you know, in particular, like the tech right, they just jumped on this

0:55.0

thing four seconds ago, and now they're acting like, you know, they've been here the whole

0:58.2

time. It's incredibly disrespectful. Way too much emphasis is being placed on the, on the market.

1:06.1

There's even free market economists know that there's certain things that the market can't do,

1:11.2

1:48.5

But I want to mention something that you brought up in the panel that we did last night,

1:53.0

or yesterday afternoon, which was this Gen X concept, because it's something that I've

1:57.1

mentioned on the show for quite some time, that we desperately needed the shift,

2:02.1

most people understand the shift away from the boomers, that, okay, you guys had a great run,

2:06.7

you ran it probably a little longer than you should, but then everyone got focused on the

2:11.1

millennials or the zoomers or every, and they skipped the people who are basically upper 30s
