Yeah, when you're all three, you're Mark Zuckerberg.
I mean, truly, like you start something from scratch and you see it to a trillion dollars.
There's been like, I think there have been three people on the planet that have brought something from zero to a trillion.
Jensen Huang, NVIDIA, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg.
I think like even Bill Gates, even Steve Jobs, I might be wrong.
Yeah, but even Steve Jobs got out long before they hit a trillion market cap.
But a billion, a lot of people get a billion.
That's not nothing.
Also very impressive.
But when you get all three, that's what you get.
One of the things that I find really interesting about your story is you've started, what is it, 75, 80 businesses?
When I...
speak to people like Kevin O'Leary, who have worked with some of the greatest entrepreneurs to ever live, like Steve Jobs, and he's very familiar with Elon Musk.
They talk to me about focus.
And he says to me that the great thing about Steve Jobs is he was 80% signal.
and 20% noise, i.e.
80% of his time, he was focused on the most important thing, and he was brutal about not entertaining anything else.
Johnny Ives has famously said that the one thing Steve Jobs was most known for is his remarkable ability to focus.
He would literally ask you, what have you said no to, in order to focus on the most important thing.
I think about Mark Zuckerberg and his unbelievable ability to focus.
