Elon Musk is probably the most important technological person and entrepreneur in the whole world for our country.

After Elon Musk and SpaceX disabled Starlink for Russians which were illegally used on the territory of our country, it saved our air defense, our aviation, and, in general, saved thousands of lives of our civilians.

We are constantly in communication.

2-3 years ago, our partners didn’t understand the new reality.

They asked us why we were betting on drones, why we invested a lot in these directions, and they didn’t believe that the future belongs to drones and that the war is the drone.

But today, I can say that all our key partners really understand that the situation is different, and the future belongs to drones and robotic technologies.

I called the president of South Korea recently. I said, “Would you give us a hand with Iran? If you would like, we don’t need help.” He said, “No thanks.”

I said, “What do you mean? We have 39,000 soldiers over there guarding you from Kim Jong Un, and you are not going to help us on a very easy military operation in Iran? That’s strange.”

Then why are we involved in helping you? Protecting South Korea is costing us billions of dollars.

We can’t go around and protect all of these countries, especially when they are not there to help us.

They want to make a deal, but they are not going to make the kind of a deal that I feel is necessary.

Kim Jong Un has always treated me with great respect.

We spent time. I understand him. He understands me.

He didn’t like anybody, but I get along with him very well.

What I'm doing is making things safer.

The people that are opposing the ballroom are people that, in my opinion, are very disloyal to our country.

Very, very disloyal to our country.

I like the idea of declaring the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory.

We have total control over the Strait.

We are taking out—maybe that will stop, or maybe it will open up even further—we are taking out millions of barrels of oil a week.

The Strait is open, and the oil prices are coming down, and they will continue to come down unless we decide to do something far more drastic than we are doing.

Iran is in big trouble. Their country is a mess.

Their military is totally defeated.
