But the most important point that I could amplify about this is we didn't win this in the last six months.
We won this over the last 20 years.
Wow.
The decision wasn't made.
The decision wasn't made until the last six months.
And there's a lot of things that the team did.
over the last six months that contributed to the ultimate result, which by the way, now we have to execute.
But this is a cumulative effort of lots and lots of people over 20 years.
And we first, as a firm, we first met Elon Musk and the person that first was responsible for covering him was a guy named Stuart Bernstein who was doing a bunch of stuff
around kind of green energy.
And he and his brother had SolarCity.
And that's where we first connected with Elon.
And then we took Tesla public when Tesla went public.
Sometime around SolarCity and Tesla, I first met Elon.
And so I've known Elon for more than 15 years.
Dan Dees, Stuart Bernstein, kind of semi-retired from the firm in the early part of the last decade.
So let's say 2012, 2013.
And Dan Dees, who now runs our global banking and markets business, was an investment banker who was just coming back to the US after having been in Asia for a long time.
And he was basing out of the West Coast and running our TMT banking business.
And he started building a personal relationship with Elon.
