And Dan has built a really

Wonderful dialogue with Elon over a long time, but it's not a straight line.

And there are times where we're doing things and we're not completely in sync.

But at the end of the day, as a firm, we've been long term committed to.

Elon, his companies, his teams.

By the way, in this situation, Brett Johnson, the CEO, is a hugely, hugely important guy.

And we've had people spending time with him for years and years and years.

And that's what our business is.

Our business is building trusting relationships over time with people, giving the right advice, taking a long-term view.

not being transactional and trying to earn trust.

So when the biggest, most important things happen in the world, we have a better chance of being asked to provide services.

And that's kind of what we do.

Did you send him a DM?

So with respect to the DM, it is, unfortunately, it's untrue that I pitched Elon via DM about the deal.

But what is true, and this is the way facts get confused, Elon, some point in the last year, stopped...

taking texts on his phone or emails and started telling people that he knew that if you wanted to get in touch with him, direct message him on X. And so, because I have a relationship where I reach out to Elon and we exchange messages about a whole variety of different things,

I stopped sending him texts on his phone and started direct messaging him when I wanted to, when I wanted to- This is how Joe communicates.

This is entirely what Tracy is- When I wanted to communicate, I started communicating.

So I actually, I went back actually and looked at the chain, you know, in my ex account over the last six months, just to make sure I wasn't wrong about this when I saw it in the press.

And I said to Tony, I don't think this is true.
