I don't think the harness is where the value is.

I think that, you

Like the depreciation on these models, like how fast the price of them drop for the same level of intelligence is going to be dramatic.

And I think within 12, 18 months, 80% of our workloads are going to be going to models that are 99% cheaper.

I mean, Elon's the best in the world at hardware, no doubt about it.

You were talking about micrometeorites.

I was just imagining they must have some redundancy here.

Like if there's some bullet, you know, some bullet fragments can fly through this thing, either on the solar panel or on the liquid radiators.

Maybe there's different compartments like, you know, it could sustain five meteorites.

bullet hits into the radiators and still get sufficient cooling or something like that.

And then the other thing I'm just wondering is how does it all fold up inside Starship?

But I'm sure it'll be a beautiful origami.

Well, I think Bitcoin will be the new gold standard and then the payments will be happening on chain.

So capital formation will probably happen on chain, borrowing and lending.

That's the financial system that the AI agents would end up using.

So that's the most likely outcome in my point of view.

Well, I think a lot of those things will get better on a crypto-based system, like the decentralization characteristics, the soundness of money, right?

If you're talking about syncing up a blockchain between multiple planets, like Mars and Earth, there would be some delay in that, but I don't see any reason why, you know, if you need to transfer money between Mars and Earth, it couldn't happen on-chain and have a laser link between them or something like that.

So they're not gonna be real-time payments between those planets, but there could be appropriately delayed payments.

They won't need to settle as often.
