copied it and it became popular and all the rage.

So then Facebook went public or meta now public with super voting stocks.

So it just locks in those founders.

And it's been interesting to observe from an investor point of view because, you know, the governance you would say, well, look, wouldn't a board be a better governing body, more stable, more reliable over time?

But then those founders are the ones actually going to Mars, going to the moon, sending up satellites like all the kind of really world changing, crazy sounding stuff comes from that structure.

And you would know better than anyone that you read the book, like a lot of things that are going to happen in the next few years sound crazy.

If you walk out on the streets of Cambridge, Cambridge is unusual to go streets of Omaha and and say, we'll have a million people on Mars and they'll be like, you're nuts.

And so then if that was your board, they would block you from trying.

So you need that ability to just act for these like crazy sounding ideas.

But, you know, in an exponential time where we are right now, everything sounds crazy, yet it's going to happen.

Actually, the headline on this is that Elon has a very slim chance, but if you look just like a couple of weeks ago, it's at 50-50.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Demis Hassabis on AGI, Robots Scale Production, and Elon’s $1T Mars-Shot Comp | EP #253

Yeah, you can see it.

Yeah, it's going to be like all these.

But I said on the podcast a week ago, too, that Elon doesn't need to win to win.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis

He doesn't need to win a settlement to win.
