Well, it wasn't a fit for me either.

But the point about A players is my explanation, my boss was, look, Elon Musk is trying to put people on Mars.

That's putting my name in the history books of the world.

If that's the right job for me, I have to go for that.

And even if I was worried my boss would be mad at me that I was going to go interview somewhere else.

I said, look, I mean, no offense.

You know, I love Amazon, but right now my job at Amazon won't put my name in the history books of the earth.

and this job with Elon might, and so I have to go see.

Now, wasn't the right fit, but I think that level of mission, I jumped in a heartbeat

if it had been the right fit because of that chance to make such a difference.

And I think people need to see that somehow, which is you're not just paying me for my time.

If you just want me for my time, you're going to have to pay a lot more.

It's got to be so much money that I'm telling myself, well, the difference is my yacht's going to be amazing, right?

love our company making a lot of it but if that is the only reason why to keep working that would be super boring to me and that's not his reason at all you have to understand for people like jeff all all all costs are zero right he spent i think 500 million on that yacht he's worth you know 200 billion more like all costs are zero so what's the difference

But that's not why he works.

He's trying to make he's in fact said he's trying to work on things that only his grandchildren will see value from.

He's trying to work on things with a long term horizon.

Now, whether or not you agree with him and what his priorities separate issue, but he's driven by a vision of the future he's trying to create one.

He doesn't even believe he'll survive to see.
