So I just don't know the answer to that.
So I think it still is this old school ability to do what you say you're going to do.
Despite what I said earlier about the importance of hype, and I understand why it is important in today's market so that you can maintain access to capital and access to capital is in and of itself a competitive advantage.
But this old school, let the results speak for themselves, is still important in a background kind of way.
And CEOs who do what they say they're going to do, it's really important.
There has to be reality at some point in time.
And it is one of the things that worries me about Elon Musk.
It's really hard to tell with him because there have been a lot of things he has said that have not come true.
and have not materialized on the schedule in which he says they're going to materialize.
And yet there are very, very big things that he has indisputably done.
So he shows how this can be really, really complicated.
But, you know, the results do matter at some point.
And so you want somebody who can deliver results.
I hope so.
It was really fun.
Thank you.
You think that people like auditors and law firms and a board of directors is there to protect you, the individual investor.
But the more you learn, the more you realize that their main incentive is keeping the company happy.
And that's still true today.
Thanks for having me on.
