I mean, yes.

It's a weird Elon circus.

This is why I never want to have money.

But Cursor's announcement I thought was interesting because Cursor didn't announce the acquisition part of this at all.

They put out like a pretty terse, I thought, statement, short either because it was rushed or short because they were, I don't know.

We don't know.

Allegedly rushed.

All we know is that they just said, you know what, we're excited about getting access to XAI's compute.

That was basically it.

Like nothing about the deal, nothing about the money.

In terms of making things happen.

So this deal is not going to happen overnight.

Until later this year, it was reported recently that the reason was, then this part makes it, this is what makes the most sense to me is SpaceX is gearing up for an IPO.

They're getting close to it.

And they didn't want to close this deal because it would delay the IPO.

So there's sort of an order of operation things like we need to go public before we try to close a $60 billion deal.

Which again feels like everything about this feels, I'm not going to say cursed, it just feels like likely to derail at some point.

Have either of you read Palantir's CEO Alex Karp's book, The Technological Republic, or rather how many times have you read it?

Well, and everybody sort of should by now, if you follow Palantir on X, and if you don't, that's okay, just to be clear.

It's not an endorsement.
