The conversation shifts to current events with Sal lamenting how politicians like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Gavin Newsom publicly criticize Elon Musk's SpaceX wealth despite being millionaires themselves on government salaries. He and Justin frame the world as creators vs. destroyers — and politicians firmly in the latter camp. Sal compares his SpaceX investment to buying Rockefeller's railroads, calling it infrastructure for the future economy. Adam admits he's gone full index-fund passive after sports betting and stock picking failed him. The segment closes with Adam's story of shooting a squirrel raiding his peach tree with a newly arrived pellet gun while floating in his pool — to Katrina's horror and Max's awe — followed by Sal's story of his grandfather's legendary hatred of squirrels and the bucket-drowning incident his cousin foiled.
