You've got perhaps real job displacement.

So how do we do this in the right way, I think, is important.

I think around things like competition, I think, yeah, a lot of the tech leaders thought the Biden administration was too tough on them.

They didn't like that.

You know, Elon Musk wasn't invited to the automotive summit.

I think even Kamala Harris has said that was a mistake.

It was to me.

It's not an either or in this way.

I think you can be deeply critical where you think you should be critical, where there should be more oversight.

You should be deeply cooperative where you think that tech and government can work together, you know, to help solve problems and mitigate problems.

That doesn't mean that you don't talk to people.

Elon Musk is like Trump in this way, which is he is very much he likes flattery and hates disrespect.

I think that's ridiculous for the most wealthy person in the world to view that.

And obviously, he's going into some of the darkest corners of the world in terms of our politics, in terms of race, some of the things he's tweeted out about white men recently, like this is super dangerous.

But, you know, I think we should keep open lines of communication with most of these tech leaders.

But but at the end of the day, I think most Americans are concerned that we could be moving in a direction where they're going to get trampled.

And all the wealth goes to the already wealthiest people in the world.

I think a lot of voters, when you talk about social media, they use it.

They're concerned about it.

But their sense was this kind of all happened to us.
