I'm just saying, whether you want to listen to Elon Musk or not, he's always said, if you do not have these tariffs, that the American car market would be in trouble.

And I think there's truth to that.

There's truth to that.

And we actually, as a country, have to decide, do we want an automobile industry?

I mean, I think these are real questions.

And then the question is, if you want an automobile industry, how do you get it?

Right.

I mean, our tariffs going to help us.

I mean, right now, the way the tariffs are structured, I think it's going to become very complicated.

But I will say I talked to a CEO of a big U.S.

carmaker and they're not a lot of them.

So you can make your guess about who this is.

And they said, look, in 10 years from now, given all of the tariffs and everything else, most Americans are going to spend more for less quality cars than much of the rest of the world is likely to get.

And maybe we should be cool with that.

Maybe we shouldn't.

I don't know.

But I think about this stuff.

By the way, that part I agree with you 100% on too.

Okay, so I am going to, I don't know if I'm gonna channel him, so do not blame me.
