And that's another thing where it's – when I say like all of history's greatest entrepreneurs study history's greatest entrepreneurs. It's really important. What they're doing is they're not trying to copy the what. They're trying to copy the how. They're not trying to build another Teledyne. They're building their version of their business, what they were interested in.

And the greatest example of this is you go back and all the great entrepreneurs can place their work in historical context. So when Steve Jobs is developing the Macintosh, he goes and studies, what did Alexander Graham Bell, how did he market the telephone? Because I feel I just made the telephone of my generation.

And so they're like, oh, there's ideas around marketing this other invention 100 years before my invention that still works to this day. And so that's what I mean. It's like, oh, these ideas, there's ideas with billions in a $30 history book. What about that line between SpaceX and NASA? Oh, so this is nuts.

So this was in that book, Liftoff, which is really, again, I highly recommend that book because you can, again, read it in a weekend. Some of these books, you know, I don't read, people are like, oh, you must read fast. No, I read pretty damn slow because I'm taking notes. I'm like doing arts and crafts over here. Sorry.

I got scissors a ruler a pen I got post-it notes like it takes a long time but you can read that book in a weekend and what they realize is like hey NASA has because it's a government run agency they documented all of their experiments all of their all their their hypothesis all their everything in papers. And you could just download them and read them. Nobody read them.

So they wind up, I think they said they like cribbed NASA's notes and they got a couple billion dollars of value from like for ideas in the early days of SpaceX. And then you could also do that. There's another line in the book that Elon talks about where this reporter goes, he's flying on Elon's jet after a failed, I think it's like the second failed rocket. And

Elon's brother's on the jet and he's like watching TV or playing video games and Elon's in the corner reading biographies of all the rocket engineers. Because again, he's like, I want to know what they know so I can, one, take the good ideas and avoid the bad ones. And so this just happens over and over and over again.
