Reid made that argument, and I think it's the best argument the company has. But let's think about that argument. Maybe Elon was busy that week. Maybe Elon already felt like he had put all the money that he had allocated for something like this into it because he put in a $50 million check, whereas Reid put in $10 million. We don't know what Elon was thinking at that time.

Maybe there was a crisis at Tesla and he was just really busy. The point is Elon shouldn't have been obligated to put in more money into this venture. The fact of the matter is they're refactoring the whole venture. Elon had an expectation when he put in the $50 million that this would be a nonprofit and stay a nonprofit. And they're changing that.

And if they change it, they have to make things right with him. It doesn't really matter whether he had a subsequent opportunity to invest. He wasn't obligated to make that investment. What he had an expectation of is that his $50 million would be used for a philanthropic purpose, and clearly it has not been.

I think it does look pretty impressive. I mean, you can wear these Meta Orion glasses around And look like a human. I mean, you might look like Eugene Levy, but you'll still look like a semi-normal person. Whereas you can't wear the Apple Vision Pro. I mean, you can't wear that around.

I mean, it seems like a major advancement, certainly compared to Apple Vision Pro. I mean, you don't hear about the Apple Vision Pros anymore at all. I mean, those things came and went. It's pretty funny. It seems to me that Meta is executing extremely well. I mean, you had the very successful cost cutting, which Wall Street liked.

Zuck published that letter, which I give him credit for, regretting the censorship that Meta did, which was at the behest of the deep state. They made huge advancements in AI. I don't think they were initially on the cutting edge of that, but they've caught up. And now they're leading the open source movement with Lama 3.2. And now it seems to me that they're ahead on augmented reality.

One point I want to just hit on is that the reason why these glasses have a chance of working is because of AI. I mean, Facebook initially made these... That's exactly my point. That's exactly my point. Facebook made these huge investments before AI was a thing. And in a way, I think they've kind of gotten lucky because what AI gives you is voice and audio.

So you can talk to the glasses or whatever the wearable is. It can talk to you. That's the five things. Like perfect natural language. And... Computer vision allows it to understand the world around you. So whatever this device is, it can be a true personal digital assistant in the real world.
