On of my fave Elon proofs from when he visited the boards a few years ago:
I think this whole Punch the monkey thing is a psyop - hear me out:
Israel = underdog nation (analogous to Punch)
Punch rejected by all neighbors
Punch adopts a stuffed animal (puppet) as a surrogate
Punch Beat up by a specific neighbor
Specific Neighbor = Iran
Recall, the 7 fronts Israel was fighting on were all propped up at least in part by Iran.
Punch gives up (partially) the stuffed animal…..but ran to it in an emergency (happened after he got beat up).
Now, Punch Gets a body guard
Body guard = US
This time the surrogate (body guard) is real.
Punch must maintain "a real relationship", now.
That means behaving and cooperating.
