And, like, yeah, but we're doing data centers in space, and we're landing rockets, and so, like.
That, to me, is just interesting to think through, the financials versus the expectations of, what could this be?
But yeah, there's a lot of people who are mad at the index providers for bending over backwards and changing their rules.
I can see both sides, because in some ways, they have to adapt to the new way of things working.
The fact that these companies are staying private for longer and trying to represent the markets.

Because SpaceX is not going to sell all the equity, right?
Yeah, so I think we did some work internally.
We figured, you know, it's not like SpaceX is going to be like a 3% position right away.
It's going to be like, I think we figured the size of like Amgen or something.

The valuation part is that's the hardest thing.
You know, no one's going to care.
Yes, yes.
