[00:00] dead air
[00:11] @DavidSacks I think we're broadcasting. Man, I think we melted the internet there.
[00:18] @elonmusk That was insane, sorry. We are actually doing this from David Sacks' Twitter account because it looks like doing it from mine basically broke the Twitter system.
[00:26] @DavidSacks Anyway, thanks everyone for joining. Governor DeSantis is with us for this historic announcement, then look forward to live Q and A. Governor DeSantis, are you there? Can you hear us?
[00:51] @GovRonDeSantis I'm here.
[00:52] @DavidSacks I think you broke the internet there. We had over half a million people in one Twitter Space, and it was growing by like fifty thousand a minute. Congrats on breaking the internet there.
[01:10] @elonmusk I think the value here is actually really high for people to hear directly from presidential candidates, to answer a Q and A live, and you can get a sense for how a candidate really is, where it's not just canned speeches and teleprompters. In fact you can tell by some of the mistakes that it's real.
[01:42] @DavidSacks Governor, there's been a lot of speculation over the last couple of months about your plans. I understand that you may have an announcement to make. We've got I think a record audience assembled here — probably the biggest room that's ever been assembled online. What would you like to tell them?
[02:05] @GovRonDeSantis Well, I am running for president of the United States to lead our great American comeback.
[02:11] @GovRonDeSantis Look, we know our country's going in the wrong direction. We see it with our eyes and we feel it in our bones. I don't think it has to be this way. American decline is not inevitable. It is a choice.
[02:44] @GovRonDeSantis And we should choose a new direction, a path that will lead to American revitalization.
